It’s completely normal for your finished painting to look a little different from the example shown on our website, that’s the beauty of personal style and technique! To get the best results, double-check that you’re matching the correct colors to each numbered section and apply the paint in smooth, even layers.
If something still feels off, try adding a second coat or refining a few small details, sometimes a little touch-up makes all the difference. And of course, if you need any help along the way, contact our support team at : [email protected]
No need to stress! Mistakes happen, and they’re easy to fix! Simply let the paint dry completely, then go over the area with the correct color. For smaller touch-ups, using a fine-tipped brush can help you correct the details with precision.
Remember, it’s all part of the creative process and every brushstroke adds to the charm of your artwork!
If your paints have thickened, don’t worry! They’re easy to fix! Just add a few drops of warm water (or acrylic paint thinner, if you have it) directly into the paint pot. Use a toothpick or small stick to stir thoroughly until the paint reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Add water gradually to avoid thinning it too much.
This simple step can bring your paints back to life and make them much easier to work with!
Some light colors don’t cover the numbers well. Let the paint dry, then add another layer. You can also use a white correction pen to hide the numbers before painting.
We don’t offer direct exchanges, but if you received the wrong item or something’s not right, just reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll make it right and send you a replacement if needed. Your satisfaction is our priority!
Our custom kits are super popular, and it’s easy to see why! Just keep in mind:
- Your painting will look a lot like your photo, but it won’t be an exact copy. Since it’s turned into artwork with numbered sections, some small details may be simplified and that’s part of the charm.
- We use 24, 36, or 48 carefully chosen colors, instead of the thousands in your original photo, to make the painting both beautiful and easy to complete.
Here’s the best part! If you’re not sure how your photo will look as a paint by numbers kit, just send it to us! One of our artists will test it and show you a preview of how it might turn out.
And guess what? This service is completely free!
The Story Behind Paint by Numbers
Paint by numbers isn’t just a relaxing pastime, it’s a beautiful blend of art, innovation, and the desire to make creativity accessible to everyone.
The idea took shape in the early 1950s when Dan Robbins, a commercial artist at Palmer Paint Company in Detroit, drew inspiration from none other than Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci used numbered patterns to guide his students through the fundamentals of painting, a concept Robbins transformed into a simple yet revolutionary idea: allow anyone, regardless of experience, to create a work of art by following a numbered guide.
The first kits featured pre-outlined canvases with numbered spaces, each linked to a matching pot of paint. These kits quickly became a sensation, especially after hitting department store shelves. By the mid-1950s, more than 12 million kits had been sold, sparking a creative movement across America.
What began as a fun hobby soon found a deeper purpose. Art teachers embraced paint by numbers to teach color theory, brush control, and composition. For many, it was the first step into the world of painting a doorway into creativity, confidence, and calm.
Today, paint by numbers continues to inspire people around the world, not only as a stress reliever but as a way to reconnect with art and enjoy the simple magic of turning blank spaces into something beautiful.
Rediscovering Creativity in a Digital Age
In a world driven by constant notifications and glowing screens, finding moments of calm and connection has never been more important. That’s where paint by numbers steps in a quiet rebellion against the digital rush, offering a way to slow down and be present with something tangible and rewarding.
More than just a hobby, painting by numbers is a simple yet powerful tool for mental clarity and emotional wellness. Without needing any prior skills, you can experience the satisfaction of completing a beautiful artwork, all while improving focus, easing stress, and giving your mind a much-needed break. Science backs it up: creative activities like painting are proven to boost mood and reduce anxiety.
Whether you’re winding down after a long day, wanting to decorate your space with your own hands, or looking for screen-free quality time with loved ones, painting by Numbers gives you that rare opportunity to unplug and reconnect with the joy of creating something meaningful, one brushstroke at a time.
