2. Customize Your Kit

After choosing and uploading your photo, customize your kit by choosing the canvas size, the number of colors, and framing options. Larger canvases or more colors typically offer greater detail, while smaller kits may be more beginner-friendly. Confirm the final look and details of your custom painting before placing your order.

3. Wait for Delivery

Once you've placed the order, the custom Paint by Numbers kit will be printed, packaged, and shipped to you. This usually takes a few days to a few weeks depending on the photo and where you are located. 

4. Start Painting

When your kit arrives, unbox it and review the contents. You should find a pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, acrylic paints corresponding to those numbers, and brushes. Start by identifying the numbers on the canvas and match them with the paint colors. Use the provided brushes to carefully fill in each numbered section, working from larger areas to smaller details.

5. Finish and Display Your Artwork 

Once you’ve completed your painting, let it dry completely. If you’d like, you can frame your artwork or simply hang it as-is if the canvas is pre-stretched. You now have a beautiful, custom-painted canvas that mirrors your original photo, and you can proudly display your personalized masterpiece. 

Enjoy the process and the therapeutic benefits of turning your photo into a work of art!
