How long does paint by numbers take?
Three main factors affect the time it takes 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 try to 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 get away from your everyday stress. We recommend spending at least 45 minutes every day 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 that most painters adhere to for their painting projects. You usually start with the darkest colors, then the mid-tones then the lighter colors for highlight. This way it’s easier for you 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 for mixing colors or thinking about color values and light so much. You will learn those as you work on your painting but you can start whatever way you like with painting by numbers. It’s completely up to you.

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 paint is not absorbed by the canvas and it does not lose its glossy finish. It is advisable to use gesso but 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 as you only need it for unprimed canvas surfaces. Our wrinkle-free canvas is already pre-primed so you can easily paint on it without having to worry about gesso.
