No experience is required. Every canvas is clearly numbered, guiding you step by step. Thousands of first-time painters have completed their first artwork with our kits – and loved the result.
You'll not only enjoy the process but also experience the "wow effect" when you see your finished painting come to life.
The number of paint colors determines the level of detail and realism in your finished painting. It simply means how many different shades we use when creating the numbered outline from your photo.
- 24 Colors – Simpler painting with fewer details. Great for a single subject (one person or pet) and clean backgrounds.
- 36 Colors – Balanced choice. More detail and color variation while still easy to paint. Ideal for 1–2 subjects.
- 48 Colors – Maximum detail and the most realistic look. Best for 3+ subjects, complex backgrounds, or if you want the painting closest to the original photo.
Tip: If your photo has multiple faces or lots of small details, pick 48 colors for the best results.

FAQs
How much does a custom paint by number kit cost?
Prices vary by canvas size, amount of colors and optional frame. Prices start from an affordable $49.95. Larger canvases and extra paint sets raise the price a bit, yet they're still an affordable choice compared with a commissioned oil painting.
How long will it take me to finish my custom paint by number canvas?
It all depends on the size of your art canvas and how actively you are working on the project. A smaller paint by numbers art might get done in a weekend, while a large‑size art project can stretch over several evenings. Think of it as screen‑free downtime rather than a race to the finish—relax and enjoy painting by numbers!
Do I need fancy supplies for my custom paint by number from photo?
Nope—everything essential comes with the custom paint by number set. If you want to level up your painting experience, a simple table easel and an extra set of brushes can make the experience even smoother.
How do I choose the image for my custom paint by number from image?
Most providers can work with smartphone shots, but the clearer the picture, the better the final painting. You can read more about choosing the paint by numbers kit.
Are the paints in custom paint by number kits safe and long-lasting?
Quality kits use non-toxic, eco-friendly acrylics that stay vibrant for decades when kept out of direct sun. Leftover paint stores well with lids snapped tight. To ensure the paint remains in the best possible condition, we recommend completing your painting within 3 months of delivery.
Can I order duplicate custom paint by number kits of the same photo?
Absolutely. Many families paint the same scene together—ideal for long‑distance relatives who want a shared project.
Will my finished custom paint by number canvas fade?
A light coat of acrylic gloss gel plus basic wall care (no constant harsh sunlight or damp bathrooms) keeps colors true for years!
Are custom paint by number projects worth it?
Absolutely! Unlike mass‑produced art, a custom paint by number lets you create meaningful, personalized artwork from your cherished memories while enjoying a relaxing, meditative hobby.
Do the colors match my photo?
Every Custom Paint by Number kit is made with a limited number of colors — 24, 36, or 48 — depending on the option you choose. While a photo can contain thousands of subtle shades, we carefully merge similar tones into this selected palette. This means the final painting is not an exact copy of your photo, but a stylish artwork created from it.
That’s the whole idea of Paint by Numbers: your photo is transformed into a hand-painted piece that looks and feels like a real painting — vibrant, artistic, and unique.
Tip: For photos with several people or many small details, choose 48 colors for the most realistic and detailed result.
Is Your Photo Good Enough?
Not every photo works the same way. Send us your photo and we'll tell you honestly:
- Whether your photo will work well as a painting
- Which of your photos gives the best result
- Which size fits your photo best
- How many colors (24, 36 or 48) we recommend for your image
- Whether we can create a custom canvas size for your photo
No obligations. Just honest advice from us personally.
📧 Email your photo to niila@paintbycanvas.com and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
