Mona Lisa after Leonardo da Vinci Paint by Numbers Kit

Questions we get asked

How many paint colors come with Mona Lisa after Leonardo da Vinci Paint by Numbers Kit for Adults?
That is your choice in the options: 24, 36 or 48 numbered acrylic pots. Fewer colors gives larger sections and a faster paint. More colors gives finer shading, which matters most in the face and hands. Every pot is matched to the numbers already printed on the canvas, so there is nothing to mix.

What kind of paint is used in a paint by number kit?
Acrylic, water based. It dries in a few minutes, rinses out of the brushes with water, and covers the printed number underneath once dry. Brushes come in the box, from a fine liner for small areas to a wider one for backgrounds.

Does the canvas arrive framed?
No. The canvas ships unframed, which is how you want it while you paint. If you want it mounted afterwards, add the DIY Frame Kit option: wooden bars you assemble yourself around the finished piece.

My acrylic looks streaky. What went wrong?
Most likely nothing. Acrylic thins out as you spread it, so one pass over a dark printed number often shows through. Give that first pass a few minutes to dry and go over it again. Two thin coats cover better than one heavy one.

Can you make a kit from my own photo?
Yes, that is our custom kit. You send the photo, we print the numbered canvas from it and ship it with the same paints and brushes. Photos taken in daylight, in focus, with the subject filling most of the frame are the ones that turn into a canvas worth painting.
