How it works

Upload your photo and pick your options. We retouch the image by hand, turn it into numbered regions, and email you a proof. Once you approve it we print, pack and post.

What's included
  • Printed cotton canvas
  • Numbered acrylic paint pots
  • Six brushes
  • Colour chart and full-size reference print
  • Wooden frame kit, if selected
Canvas sizes

30 × 40 cm suits one face or one pet. 40 × 50 cm is right for two people. For three or more, choose 50 × 60 cm at 48 colours so every face keeps enough regions to read properly.

Shipping

Every kit is made to order. Delivery takes 5–20 days. The exact time depends on your country — distances and customs handling differ from place to place. You will see an estimated arrival date before you order, and a tracking link once it ships. Duties and import taxes are paid by us; there is nothing to pay on delivery.

Our guarantee

Approve the proof before we print — revise it as many times as you need, at no cost. Thirty days to return it once it arrives. We pay all import duties.

Level of detail

More colours means more depth, and more evenings

The number of colours decides how finely the photo is broken into regions. Faces and fur benefit most from the higher levels.

LevelWhat you getExtra time
24 colors Broad, simple regions. Good for a first kit or when you want to finish quickly. Fastest
36 colors (+6 hours to complete) Richer shadow and skin tone. The level most people choose. +6 hours
48 colors (+12 hours to complete) The finest regions and the smoothest transitions. Best for faces, fur and group photos. +12 hours

Some photos deserve more than a frame

A print is something you bought. A painting is something you made. That difference is the whole point.

How does paint by numbers work?

Blank numbered canvas

1. Get ready

Lay out the canvas, open the numbered pots and keep the reference sheet beside you.

Half-painted canvas

2. Paint your canvas

Match each number on the canvas to the pot with the same number. Work from the largest areas inward.

Finished canvas

3. Display your art

Let it dry flat, then frame it or hang it straight from the stretcher bars.

Flat-lay of the whole kit

Everything included

  • A printed colour chart mapping every number to its paint
  • A full-size reference print of the finished painting
  • A one-page guide, plus a wooden frame kit if you chose one

Before you upload

How to pick a good photo

Two minutes here saves three weeks of disappointment. Four things decide how well a photo turns into a painting.

1 Resolution

The sharper the file, the better the result. Any phone from the last ten years is fine. What does not work is a screenshot, a photo of a photo, or an image saved from a social feed — all three have already thrown the detail away.

2 How close the subject is

The nearer the camera, the more of each face we can keep. Close-ups paint best.

Left: everyone is small in the frame, so there is not enough of each face to turn into regions. Right: the faces fill the picture — this is what paints well.

3 Lighting

Even light, coming from behind the camera, is what you want. Avoid strong backlight, hard shadow across a face, and anything covering a face. Shadow is the single most common reason a custom kit disappoints — dark areas collapse into one flat black region.

Left: blown-out background, and a hand across the face. Right: soft even light, every feature clearly visible.

4 Canvas size

A bigger canvas holds more regions, so it holds more detail. The more people in the photo, the larger you need to go — each face has to keep enough regions to stay recognisable.

Questions

Before you order

What kind of photo works best?

A sharp, well-lit photo where the subject fills most of the frame. Faces should be large and clearly lit — heavy shadow across a face is the single most common reason a kit disappoints. If you are unsure, upload it anyway: we check every photo by hand and tell you before we print.

How long does it take to paint?

24 colours is the quickest. 36 colours adds about six hours and more depth; 48 colours adds about twelve. Spread it over as many evenings as you like.

Do I need to know how to paint?

No. The drawing is already done — you are matching numbers to paint pots. People who have not held a brush since school finish these.

Will I be charged customs or import tax?

No. Duties and import taxes are paid by us before the parcel reaches you. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay.

What if I do not like the proof?

Tell us and we redo it. We only print once you have approved how your photo looks as a numbered canvas, and there is no limit on revisions before that point.

It takes two minutes

So — which photo is it?

Send it over. We will show you exactly how it will look before we print anything, and you can change your mind at any point.
