Practical Photo Selection Guidelines for Your Paint by Numbers Personalised Kit
(Verified by the PaintArtHub Design Team for personalised paint by numbers success.)
💡 To guarantee the best result from your photo paint by numbers kit, follow these simple tips:
Use High-Quality Photos: The clearer the image, the better the final painting. Blurry or pixelated photos won’t produce good results.
Go for Close-Ups: Faces, pets, or couples’ portraits look best when the subject is close to the camera. Avoid zoomed-out or distant shots.
Choose Good Lighting: Pick a photo with even lighting, natural light works great. Avoid heavy shadows, strong backlight, or overly dark photos—and skip any filters!
Match Canvas Size: Choose a larger canvas to capture more fine detail, especially for complex or multi-person images. Please try to use a photo with a similar aspect ratio to the canvas size you selected — this helps reduce cropping.
- 1 person: at least 30×40 cm
- 2 people: at least 40×50 cm
- 3+ people: at least 50×65 cm
Important Tips:
Avoid small, fine text in your photo — it's hard to paint clearly.

Let customers speak for us
Once completed by myself, the painting was gratefully received by my niece, after I completed the painting of her beloved Pet.
The photo I sent to Paintarthub, was made in to a paint by numbers and was easy to do. I was pleased with the result.
Très bon produit et vraiment bien réalisé
Simple and effective 👌
The flexible canvas was clearly marked and easy to use. The colours were stunning and equipment correct for the job. Advice from assistant bubble was spot on. My first attempt at painting by numbers and very pleased with outcome.
Amazing details ☆☆☆☆☆
I am going to order again ;)
I have ordered 6 different paintings now, every single one has come out so beautifully! Great price for a great product!
I really enjoyed doing this paint by numbers. I uploaded a photo and got sent a brilliant quality product.
The brushes are nice and such great quality paint. I would definitely recommend!
Turned one of my nan's wee dog pics into a paint by numbers for her birthday, she’s obsessed 😂
The canvas turned out way better than I expected, and yep, that’s me in the painting lol. Such a chill way to unwind in the evenings. Kinda addicted now. Found a spare frame and sorted it, looks lush!
Finally got this canvas done and up on the wall above my workspace. Can’t believe how decent it turned out, adds a proper cosy vibe to the space!
Had 2 special pictures for my mom and dads 60th anniversary, l was amazed how they turned out and my mom and dad was thrilled. I am now doing 3 more, they are so enjoyable to do
I absolutely love the quality of paints of these custom pbn. I have had to add a bit more detail, however have ordered 3 already.
I've bought this specific custom paint by number about 4 times now, and I have not been disappointed! They are very well done and assembled nicely. The paint is smooth and not chunky or too translucent, and very vibrant. The canvas is sturdy and can be easily ironed before painting to get the wrinkles out. The outline does not come off with ironing! My grandmother loved a piece I did of her pupperino that passed last month.
I’ve done a few different ones before that were regular images they sell, but decided I wanted to finally try a custom one and in my opinion these were absolutely amazing! The colors are so close to the original and they way they were able to match the original image is perfect. I will be getting another here soon.
This paint by number product is awesome! Love it. You send in a digital photo & you get back an awesome kit! So easy to paint a picture of your favorite scene or family member, i painted a picture of my dog & it came out almost exactly as the photo i sent in! Love this product!

Product Care Instructions
Thank you for choosing our "Paint by Numbers" product! To preserve the longevity and vibrancy of your artwork, here are some recommended care tips:
- Shield from Direct Sunlight: Protect your "Paint by Numbers" masterpiece from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause colours to fade and the canvas to age over time.
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically, gently dust your artwork with a soft brush or a clean, lint-free cloth to ensure it maintains its clarity and brilliance.
- Avoid Extremes in Temperature and Humidity: Keep your artwork away from areas with high temperatures or excessive humidity, as these conditions can lead to pigment fading and canvas distortion.
- Handle with Gentle Care: When relocating or displaying your artwork, handle it with care to prevent any accidental scratches or damage.
- Store Backups Safely: If you have additional artworks, it's wise to store any unmounted pieces in a dry, clean area to safeguard them against potential harm.
By following these guidelines, your "Paint by Numbers" creation will continue to exude its timeless charm. Should you have any inquiries or require further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your support!
FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Paint by Numbers Kits
Paint by Numbers
Q1: My paintbrush has frayed after some use. What should I do?
A1: Most of the time, fraying occurs when there is a buildup of thick paint on the brush. You can easily fix this by cleaning the brush bristles with water or wiping them with a tissue.
Q2: The paint seems too thick and difficult to apply. What can I do?
A2: Acrylic paint tends to dry quickly and may become somewhat thick. If this happens, you can add 1-2 drops of water to the paint to dilute it and make it easier to work with.
Q3: What should I do if I make a mistake and paint the wrong color?
A3: If you make a mistake, you can refer to the expected result picture we provide. Acrylic paint has good coverage, and you can completely cover the wrong color with the correct one.
Q4: How can I handle blending different colors in an area?
A4: Blending areas typically involve two or three different colors. The method is the same: blend the colors together. First, complete the first color, then move on to the second color. While the paint is still wet, use a brush with the second color to gently blend at the junction until it becomes blurred.
Q5: Some areas can't fully cover the numbers and lines. What should I do?
A5: Lighter colors might have slightly weaker coverage, but they can still cover. Simply apply a thicker coat of paint or, after the paint dries, apply another coat.
Q6: Different drying times can make the painting look inconsistent. What should I do?
A6: Don't worry, once the paint has completely dried, it will all look consistent.
Q7: Do I need to strictly follow the lines when coloring?
A7: You don't have to be too strict when filling in colors unless you are working on faces with specific expressions. For elements like flowers, clouds, or sea, you have the freedom to color outside the lines to create a more artistic touch.
Q8: Can I add my own creativity to the painting?
A8: Absolutely! While numbered sections are provided, you can add your creativity and modifications to make the artwork unique.
Q9: Will the paintings fade or get old?
A9: Properly stored, these paintings can last a long time. To extend their lifespan, avoid direct sunlight, and perform regular cleaning and maintenance.
