Frequently Asked Questions
Guido Borelli is a contemporary Italian painter known for nostalgic, romantic scenes of Italian and Mediterranean life. Working in a realist tradition, he's celebrated for his handling of warm light, vivid color, and idyllic small-town views. Rather than copying a photo exactly, he paints from memory and feeling, so his work often has the glow of a half-remembered place.
Classic Italian and Mediterranean charm: a red door on a climbing village lane, the blue-and-white rooftops of Santorini, a lakeside farmhouse, a flower-laden bicycle, and more. If you love the look of sun-warmed European villages, this is the collection for it.
Most of Borelli's kits are rated Intermediate, with one Advanced piece. His scenes carry rich detail and lots of color, so they suit painters who've done a kit or two and want something more involved. Total beginners can still enjoy them, just expect a rewarding, slower project.
Many of Borelli's designs come in both formats. With paint by numbers you fill numbered areas using the included acrylic paints. With diamond painting you place sparkling resin "diamonds" onto a coded canvas for a shimmering, mosaic finish. The diamond versions come in larger sizes, so they make a real statement piece on a wall.
Very much so, that's part of the appeal. His warm, story-like scenes work beautifully framed in a living room, kitchen, or hallway, and they pair well together if you complete more than one. For more in this style, browse our landscapes and cityscapes collections.
Guido Borelli Paint by Numbers: Italian Village Life
Guido Borelli is a contemporary Italian painter with a romantic, realist eye for small-town Europe: a red door on a steep village lane, whitewashed Santorini under a deep blue sky, a farmhouse by a lake, a bicycle overflowing with flowers. His scenes feel sun-warmed and a little nostalgic, as if painted from memory as much as from life. Our Guido Borelli paint by numbers kits let you paint that Mediterranean light yourself, and a finished piece makes lovely Italian canvas wall art.

A painting tip
Start with the sky and distant walls, then work forward to doors, flowers and details. Keeping the brightest whites for last helps the light pop. Take breaks and step back often: stone textures read best from a distance.
