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.
Cover your workspace, arrange canvas, paints & brushes, and pour yourself a cuppa.
Start with darker tones to see progress fast, then layer lighter shades for depth.
Seal with our clear varnish, frame it, or gift it – instant wall-worthy art.
Want something truly personal? Upload a favourite memory and we’ll convert it into a ready-to-paint template via our Custom Kit Service. Sharp contour mapping and a tailored colour palette make even complex portraits beginner-friendly. Clients say reliving a wedding day, pet portrait or travel snapshot while they paint deepens the emotional connection to the finished piece – a gift that literally comes with heart and brushstrokes.
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.
• 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
