How It Works & FAQ

Everything you need to know before you start painting. Still have a question? Get in touch and we'll help.

How does it work?

Pick your canvas size and detail level, check out, then upload the photo you want painted. We convert your image into a numbered canvas, mix a matching set of paints, and ship you a complete kit ready to paint.

What comes in the kit?

A numbered canvas printed from your photo, a full set of pre-matched acrylic paints, brushes in multiple sizes, and a printed reference sheet.

What kind of photo works best?

Clear, well-lit photos with the face in focus. Close-ups beat far-away shots, and simple backgrounds paint up cleaner than busy ones. Not sure? Email it to us and we'll check before you buy.

Do I need to know how to paint?

Not at all. Every section of the canvas has a number, and every number matches a paint. Follow the numbers and the portrait comes to life — through you.

How long does it take to finish?

Most people spread it over several relaxing sessions. Depending on size and detail, expect anywhere from a weekend to a few weeks of casual painting.

Which size should I choose?

8″×10″ is great for a single face and a first project. 11″×14″ is our most popular all-rounder. 16″×20″ gives the most detail and works beautifully for couples, groups, and statement pieces. Choose “Detailed” for more numbered sections and finer results.

Can I give it as a gift?

Absolutely — it's one of the most personal gifts there is. Gift the kit for them to paint, or paint it yourself and give the finished portrait.
