Centimetres are hard to picture. Drag through the sizes and see the canvas held
at true scale by an average adult, so you know what is arriving before you order it.
The picture on the canvas is only an example. Your own photo goes there.

This is the photo we turn into your paint by numbers kit.
Cover the table, set good lighting, keep water and a paper towel nearby. Lightly iron the canvas on low (no steam) or tape it flat to a board.
2
Organize paints & match numbers
Open one color at a time to prevent drying. If thick, add a drop of water and mix. Keep lids closed when not in use.
3
Start smart
Work from top-to-bottom (or left-to-right if right-handed) to avoid smudges. Many painters begin with the background or darker areas for easy progress.
4
Use the right brush for the area
Small brush for tiny cells; larger brush for big areas. Glide the tip—don’t press or splay bristles. Cover numbers fully; add a second coat after drying if needed.
5
Rinse & dry between colors
Swirl in water, wipe on a towel until clean, then paint the next color. A barely damp brush gives cleaner edges.
6
Let sections dry
Acrylic dries fast—about 10–20 minutes depending on thickness. Touch up gaps or streaks once dry.
7
Store in-progress work
Close paint pots firmly; wipe rims so they reseal. Keep paints upright and the canvas flat.
8
Finish & frame
After 24 hours, optionally seal with a clear acrylic varnish (matte or gloss). Then frame and enjoy!
Pro tips
If a paint is too thick, add a single drop of water and mix. If too thin, use two light coats.
Mist closed paint pots lightly with water if you’re painting for a long session to slow drying.
For tiny areas, a toothpick or fine liner brush can help hit small corners cleanly.
Use daylight or a neutral white lamp so colors look true.
This is my first 80 color I have painted. I couldn't be any more happy with the way this one turned out. The pictures don't do it justice. The colors are very vibrant. There is so much going on with this painting that makes it eye catching. I have had so many complements on the painting. I now have friends that want me to paint them one!
I'm only about 1/3 into the picture and it is turning out fantastic! The colours are amazing and the kit is very easy to work.
This company is my new favorite. I have 4 more from them to work on and I expect to be very happy with those as well. Highly, highly recommended.
Loved that the numbers were matched with the colour that painted over them so it was easier to find the paint match and cover the number. Only critique is I wish the numbers were a little lighter so they would disappear completely when painted over
Loved it. This is my first paint by numbers kit. The paint was thick and plentiful. You can use as much as you want without the fear of running out. The paint brushes were decent. I bought different brushes as recommended by others, but I switched back to the included brushes quickly.
I was shorted 1 of the colors for this and I was sent the wrong painting of another. I reached out to your customer service and immediately went to work verifying my claim and sending me the missing color and the correct painting which is now in transit....I can't wait! The canvas was sent perfectly and the paints are super creamy! I will be ordering more
I had this in my cart for weeks and wanted it so bad! I finally got the 60x90 and LOVE how it came out with 38 colors. If I'd known about the Mega Challenge for 2027 before I ordered, I would have gotten a bigger one with 100-150 colors!
Took a couple of months to complete!
It was an 80 colour painting. If you have an iPad it’s a good idea to save the picture for reference as you are painting it as some of the numbers are missing.
My first ever custom diamond painting. Having ordered from paintly already I was finally confident enough to try a custom. Im so happy with how it turned out, although I possibly could have gone bigger to retain more of the graffiti detail on the loco, I feel this gives an excellent detailed finish for such a manageable size.
Drills were shiny with zero trash. Canvas soft, symbols clear. Plenty of drills left over. Husband loves this diamond painting of him hard at work - he's the teeny orange blob driving :-)
Paintly has never disappointed me yet, and has fast become my go-to for diamond paintings.
