Love the way it covers the numbers on the canvas. It looks like a real painting lol

Darrell, age 86, painted this lovely picture. It was a pleasure. Now we are getting it framed. We will proudly hang it in our home in a retirement center in Tupelo, Mississippi. Is this design original or a copy of another painting? India Mount

I truly enjoyed the experience. It was my first and I was pleased with how it turned out. I hope my grandaughter likes it. I did run out of a couple of colors but was able to order a second set. Cutomer service was great. I will definitely do another one.

This is not done. I need to finish.

I love it'

It’s coming out so amazing!!

This is a wonderful work in progress and I’m enjoying every minute.

I am really enjoying my new hobby and did a self portrait - took a picture and sent it in and this was the results.

Very peaceful.

Love this painting!

Love painting

happy with the results. thank you

These were pictures that we had and had them put on canvas for paint by number! They turned out so good! You guys do a great job with the detail!

Enjoyed very much painting it. Greatly surprised with the final product!

The product is of low quality. The frame arrived to me warped. It will never hang on a wall properly since the frame is not flat. . The print isn’t centered on the canvas. Some numbers are running over the side of the canvas on one side but not the other side. Some Numbers were missing or illegible on the canvas and the outline paper. The white paint requires several coats to cover the area. Customer service did send me an electronic file so I could look up the missing/illegible numbers. However, they sent me a file for someone else’s painting. It was not the painting that I bought. I expected better product quality and customer service.

This match so well in my kitchen and I love the way it turned out. The colors are vivid. Paint my numbers is time-consuming but relaxing for me. I worked on it almost every day. I always use a lot of paint brushes so I don't have to wash each brush to be reused with a different paint color. I just pick another brush and keep going.

My painting is complete and it was so much fun. Lots of details, and many I added myself!! As my first Paint By Number, I am hooked, and already waiting for my next ones to arrive.

So much fun as always.

Absolutely love doing these! Wish that the smaller details were highlighted better on the sheet that comes in order to see the numbers better! Also the paint dries out quick in the little container. I’m constantly having to add water to it to thin it out. The acrylic thinner doesn’t work as well as water. Other thank that I’ll keep doing them and ordering. Love 💕 them!!

End product beautiful but does require quite a bit of free hand painting to make it look like picture. Overall, I highly recommend for someone who is not new to these paint kits.

Wonderful experience so much detailing in this piece. Thanks.

Love it

The pictures are great

This is a really fun picture to paint. Numbers are clearly printed.

love it

I love it.

This picture is a birthday gift for my mom who turns 82 this week. I put a lot more into it as you can see. I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

The frame was warped. The canvas was not centered on the frame. Some of the numbers were on the side of the frame. Some numbers were missing or illegible on the canvas and the outline paper guide that came with it. The paint isn’t rich enough to cover the stenciled numbers on the canvas. Overall this is poor quality

Turned out real pretty

I have painted a lot of pictures. This picture was a challenge. It is very large, and took a long time to complete. It is a beautiful!

This was so fun to paint. It is beautiful and I am thrilled with the result.

It took patience, but as you can see, patience paid off. I’m real happy with it.

Fun and relaxing. As soon as I am done with one I can’t wait to try another

Looks 👍 grest

Just what I needed for my favorite watercolor brushes.

It gives me hours of pleasure and relaxation

Fishing with my grandson is a special event in life.

A little difficult but beautiful

Thank you for asking I use many companies to get my number paintings I love you all !

Finished this photo of my border collies at Needles Hwy in Custer State Park, South Dakota. I really like the paint - very rich and thick. The DYI frame was not the best - it was a bit split.

Paint by Numbers for Adults – Relax, Focus & Craft Your Own Masterpiece

Art-based relaxation has moved out of the therapist’s office and into living rooms worldwide — and paint by numbers for adults is its most accessible form. When you zero in on filling a clearly outlined shape with colour, your brain shifts from high-alert beta waves to calming alpha waves within minutes. Heart rate steadies, breathing deepens, and the endless to-do list fades into the background. Because every pigment is pre-mixed and every cell is numbered, there’s zero performance pressure — you literally can’t “get it wrong”. That certainty lets your mind wander just enough to trigger dopamine micro-hits each time a section is completed. Think of the process as guided mindfulness with a keepsake: by the final brushstroke you’ve practised deep focus, lowered stress hormones and created wall-worthy art you’ll proudly display or gift.

Every diy-paintbynumbers.com kit ships with a premium 280 gsm cotton canvas that prevents bleed-through, pre-mixed acrylics in airtight pots so there’s absolutely no guesswork, and three pro-grade round brushes that glide from hair-thin details to broad sky washes. With a catalogue of over 3 000 motifs — from soothing landscapes and playful animals to daring abstract art — you’ll always find a design that speaks to you and your décor.

How It Works in 3 Easy Steps

Prepare your canvas and paints

1  Set Up

Cover your workspace, arrange canvas, paints & brushes, and pour yourself a cuppa.

Fill numbered areas with colour

2  Fill In

Start with darker tones to see progress fast, then layer lighter shades for depth.

Seal and display your finished painting

3  Display

Seal with our clear varnish, frame it, or gift it – instant wall-worthy art.

FAQ – Everything You Need to Know

Do I need painting experience?

Not at all. Every cell is labelled with a number that matches exactly one paint pot, so the path is mapped out before you start. Many first-time customers tell us they “upgraded” from colouring books and felt immediate success because there is no fear of blank canvas. If you can hold a pen, you can follow our template – and our illustrated guide explains brush cleaning, best lighting and drying tips in plain English.

How many hours will one canvas take?

• 8 × 10 in / 20 × 25 cm: 4–6 hours
• 16 × 20 in / 40 × 50 cm: 10–14 hours
• XL or high-detail formats: up to 20 hours

Splitting the project into 30-minute “micro-retreats” keeps your neck and shoulders relaxed and lets acrylic layers cure properly for richer colour.

Are your acrylics non-toxic?

Yes. Our colours are water-based, low-odour and fully EN 71-3 certified, so they’re free of heavy metals and phthalates. Ventilation is optional; a dining-room table setup is perfectly safe. Brushes rinse clean with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap.

Can I reorder missing colours?

Absolutely. Keep the pot numbers on the lids and request a refill via our contact form; we ship replacements free within Germany and at postage cost elsewhere in the EU. Pro tip: cover pots with cling film during breaks to prevent drying out.

Best way to protect the finished artwork?

Lightly brush on our clear acrylic varnish once the paint is fully dry (about 24 h). It cures to a subtle satin sheen that boosts colour vibrancy and shields against dust and UV fade. After 30 minutes you can frame, stretch or gift the piece.

What if I make a mistake while painting?

Let the area dry, then apply a new layer of the correct colour. Our pigments are opaque enough to cover stray strokes completely. For major slip-ups, a touch of white primer resets the spot in seconds.

Will the numbers show through lighter colours?

We print numerals in a low-contrast grey, and the paint is formulated for one-coat coverage. If you’re using very light pastels, a quick second pass ensures the numerals disappear entirely.

What frame size do I need?

All canvases follow standard photo ratios. A 16 × 20 in painting fits any off-the-shelf frame of the same size, or you can opt for our DIY stretcher bars for a gallery-wrap look without glass.
