We prefer acrylic paint to oil as our medium because it is more versatile. It’s also water-soluble. So you can rehydrate it if it dries up by soaking it in warm water. Our custom paint kit includes everything you need to get your painting done.
Photos are a great way to capture moments, but paintings are way more personal. Everyone can take a photo, print it, and frame it, but a painting by numbers is special. The level of detail these custom photos require will take the painter in you to an all-new level of artistry.
This project is also a great way of saying, “Hey, I love you and I put in a lot of time and effort to create this painting, especially for you". Talk about going the extra mile.

Creating your own paint-by-number from scratch is much easier than you'd have thought. Just follow the steps below:
- Choose the picture you'd like to use. Your image must be high-resolution and well-lit. Plain backgrounds usually work better.
I strongly recommend taking your time to select your photo. Firstly, your painting is likely to take weeks, if not months, so it would be sad if you're not a fan of the picture used. Then the goal is to frame and hang your finished masterpiece so it stays around for quite a while! - Once you're sure about the image you want, select the size that would fit best and the number of colors you want. The more tints, the more details you'll have on the final painting.
- Wait a bit. Converting a photo to a paint-by-number pattern takes some time! Once made, you'll receive an email with your tracking number.
- Discover your unique paint set, start painting, and enjoy your artwork!
How do we create our paint-by-numbers templates? As much as we would like to handcraft it all for you, we cannot! But it is the 21st century; we have technology on our side. At Winnie’s Picks, we use our own image processing tool to convert your picture into vector graphics.
To get the image right and ensure we can process it into a realistic paint-by-number canvas, make sure the image is cropped to the canvas size and not pixelated. The higher the photo's quality, the easier it is to process. The smallest side of your photo should not be less than 750 pixels. If it is, you should find a new one.
Although we have our own designers who help convert your photo the best they can, it’s best if you can find a photo with a simpler background. The simpler the background, the more colors you can use on the actual subject.
The maximum color palette that paint-by-numbers usually have is 48, for a maximum of details. If your photo uses more colors, our software uses an algorithm that reduces the number of colors you need for the painting to just 36 colors max, or 24 paint pots if you want to make it easier.
Do you love your furry friends, and would you like to create a special memory to cherish for the rest of your life?
Are you looking for something special that truly captures the moment and lets you relive it every time you look at it?
Custom Pet By Numbers is the way to go. You can upload your pet’s favorite picture above, and our team will take care of the rest.
To get the best result, make sure to take a great shot of your little companion. How? Well, first make sure they’re at their best, then avoid any blurry shots because they will not give good results; natural lighting is ideal to have the right luminosity on your picture and ultimately on your painting. Also, the simpler the background of your picture is, the better the end result will be.
A Pet by numbers is also a great way to deal with the loss of a loved one, especially when it’s your best friend and your little companion through your every move. You can pay tribute to their memory by creating a personalized painting-by-numbers that can later be framed and become part of your home.
