What’s included in a paint by numbers kit?

A Paint by Numbers kit has all the essential tools to start your new artistic project. In the kit, you will find a set of different paintbrushes to help you get even the smallest cells.

The paint pots with the numbers indicated on top are reusable. Ensure you hear the click when you close your pots so that they won’t dry, and you can use them later or for a different painting project. The painting kit comes, of course, with your canvas rolled and a paper version, just in case you were to make a mistake or if you’re unable to read the numbers on the canvas.

Furthermore, your adults' paint kit will come enveloped into a beautiful and resistant tube to ensure that all components arrive in good condition and that the canvas comes wrinkles-free.

How long does paint by numbers take?

Three main factors affect the time to finish a paint by numbers canvas. One is the canvas’ difficulty level. You can find collections that are best for beginners. They are less detailed and, therefore, require less time. Some templates are more intricate and require more time and attention.

Another factor is your experience level. How fast do you paint? How much attention do you put to each detail of the painting? How steady are your hands? Although you can tryto do it all in one sitting, we recommend not to.

That takes away the whole point of the painting by numbers: to relax, clear your mind, and escape your everyday stress. We recommend spending at least 45 minutes daily on the kit until you complete the painting.

Do you paint light or dark colors first?

Painting from dark to light is a common strategy or approach most painters use for their painting projects. You usually start with the darkest colors, the mid-tones, and the lighter colors for highlighting. This way, it’s easier to see how your painting develops. This helps give depth to the painting too. You start with the lowlights or shadows and work on the highlights. 

Although this is a great strategy, this does not matter much for paint-by-numbers art kits. With the kits, there’s no need to mix colors or think about color values and light so much. You will learn those as you work on your painting, but you can start in whatever way you like with painting by numbers. It’s completely up to you. What’s important is you paint the right color on the right numbered areas and that they don’t smudge over other areas.

Is Gesso useful when starting paint by numbers?

Gesso is used to “prime” or prepare your canvas so it’s ready to accept the paint. That way, the canvas does not absorb the paint and does not lose its glossy finish. It is advisable to use gesso, but it is not at all necessary. You can paint on raw canvas if you prefer. It all depends on how you want your painting to look. There will be a tiny difference but nothing consequential.

You do not need gesso for our paint by numbers art kits; you only need it for unprimed canvas surfaces. Our wrinkle-free canvas is already pre-primed, so you can easily paint it without worrying about gesso.

Do you paint the background first?

There are plenty of ways to start painting your paint by numbers art kit.

You must play with the process and see which works best for you. Whatever you are most comfortable with, please do it.

There is no hard and fast rule on how to paint the canvas. The only rule is to paint the right color on the right numbered area without going over too much on the other areas. Even that is forgivable and easily solved. Just let the smudged area dry and paint over it.
