Paint by numbers is a painting technique that allows anyone to complete stunning paintings that would be otherwise impossible without previous experience. It was created by the Palmer Show Card Paint Company back in 1951 and became so popular that it sold 12 million paintings. Some even say Leonardo Da Vinci used it to teach his students! 

Does color by numbers ring a bell? These coloring books were a hit as kids loved them, and even there are versions targeted to adults. Paint by numbers is the same concept but using an actual canvas and acrylic paints; however, it is mainly for adults.

The canvas is divided into numbered sections that match the numbers on each paint pot. So, for example, you have to paint all canvas sections numbered with “1” using the number “1” color. Then number 2, 3, and so on. Following this simple process, you’ll see your masterpiece come to life while you enjoy a relaxing and rewarding activity! We have an easy paint by numbers guide in case you have any questions.

Our premium paint by numbers kits include everything you need to complete your painting - 280gsm quality color canvas, set of acrylic paints, set of assorted brushes, reference sheet, directions, color picture, and above all, lots of love and professionality!

Several studies have proved that activities such as painting, drawing, or sewing provide essential benefits to physical and mental health. Just 45 minutes a day is enough to lower the stress levels, improve sleep quality and enhance mental balance. Furthermore, since paint by numbers always provides good results, you remove the frustration from practicing any other type of art or craft that might or might not achieve satisfactory results.

Paint by numbers kits are also a powerful cognitive tool that keeps up the brain connections and trains memory. This is especially helpful for elderly users as the brain starts deteriorating when reaching a certain age. It is also super enjoyable, and during the last unfortunate pandemic, we were happy to provide a fun and safe activity to our senior customers during the lockdown.

It’s also great for kids! Not only you’ll get a break (if you are a dad or mom, you know what we mean), but it is beneficial to develop creativity and sensibility for fine arts. We have a few paint by numbers for children that will surely entertain the little ones a lot!

Finally, paint by numbers is a solid catalyzer to get into the painting world. You’ll learn color composition, how to handle the brushes, stroke styles, mixing and blurring, and much more if you want to! It is rewarding, which positively affects self-esteem and will teach you how to be patient, which is always a good quirk!

We understand that buying a quality paint by numbers kit can be somewhat confusing. There are so many vendors out there that finding reliable sites has become a hassle. Just doing a quick Google search such as paint by numbers Amazon or paint by numbers Aliexpress will bring up hundreds of results.

However, people tend to think that all vendors sell the same product since it is common to see the same images across websites – nothing further from the truth. Most of the time, kits sold in marketplaces are low-cost paints by numbers (under a dollar production cost!) manufactured in bulk by Chinese factories, all under the same patterns and materials, just branded differently. The other issue is that most of these vendors do not abide by copyright laws. This means they will sell stolen artwork without any license or economic compensation for the artist!If you want to save a few bucks on your painting, that’s okay. Just be aware of the whole story behind it!
