What Puts a Kit on This List
The kits that rise here tend to share three things: one clear subject, strong contrast between the main shape and its background, and color areas wide enough to stay relaxing rather than fiddly.
If you're deciding between two designs anywhere on the site, those three traits are a useful test.

How to Choose From This Page
Start with the subject, not the difficulty. The finished painting hangs on your wall — pick the image you want to look at, and the rest follows.
Then match the version to how you like to paint:
- 24 colors — broader areas, a bolder finish, shorter sessions
- 36 colors — finer shading, more depth, a longer project
Both versions use the same design and the same canvas size. Rolled canvas stores flat; pre-stretched arrives ready to hang.
The Best Seller That Isn't on This Page
Our flagship kit never appears in this collection — it can't, because no two of them are alike.
If the subject you really want is your own dog, your family, or a place you know, you can make a paint by numbers kit from your own photo instead of choosing from ours.
