Portrait and Figure Painting by Numbers
Faces, gestures and people caught in a moment are the hardest thing to draw freehand, and that is exactly why portrait paint by numbers kits are so satisfying. The proportions are already worked out on the canvas, so you can concentrate on skin tones, light and expression. This figure painting collection runs from famous portraits by Klimt, Mucha and Munch to modern characters, dancers and playful fantasy scenes. Alongside famous painted portraits, the collection includes bright, modern acrylic portrait paintings of dancers, characters and everyday scenes.

Picking Your First Portrait Kit
Start bold
Stylized designs like The Scream, Mucha's Feather or Utamaro's Gotenyama no Hanami use flat color and strong outlines, which makes them easier than realistic faces. See all beginner kits.
Go bigger for detail
A 20x24" (50x60 cm) or 24x30" (60x75 cm) canvas gives eyes and hands more room than 16x20" (40x50 cm). Every kit includes numbered paints, three brushes and a reference sheet.
