What is Painting by Numbers?
Description
Send us a photo of your dog, your cat, the rabbit that runs the house, and we turn it into a paint-by-numbers canvas. You get the numbered canvas, acrylics matched to your pet's coat and brushes. Paint it yourself over a few evenings, or wrap it for the person who talks about their dog more than their kids.
Same workshop and same kit as our custom photo kit. This page is just set up for pets: the advice below is about fur, eyes and whiskers, which is where a pet portrait is won or lost.
What comes in the box
- Your pet's photo traced onto a numbered canvas, in the size you pick
- Numbered acrylic paints mixed to match the photo, 24, 36 or 48 colors
- Brushes from a fine liner (for whiskers) up to a wide one for backgrounds
- A printed copy of your photo to paint from, and instructions
The canvas ships unframed unless you add the DIY Frame Kit option.
Picking the photo
Get down to your pet's eye level, outside or next to a window in daylight. The eyes need to be sharp, since everything else can be a little soft and nobody notices. A photo straight from the phone is best; a screenshot or a picture saved from social media usually loses too much detail. Aim for 1500 pixels on the short side, 2500 for the 20"x26".
Take 36 colors for most pets. Go to 48 for long or mixed coats (a tabby, a golden retriever, a tricolor collie). Black cats and black dogs also need 48, otherwise the face turns into one dark shape. 24 colors works for a short single-color coat photographed in good light.
Two pets in one picture is fine if they sit close together. Three or more gets small on anything under 20"x26".
How it works
- Choose size, frame and number of colors.
- Upload the photo on this page. The kit cannot go in the cart without one. If the upload stalls, email it to info@artistrybynumbers.com with your order number.
- We look at every photo before printing. Too dark, too small, eyes blurred: we write back and ask for another one.
- The canvas is traced, the paints are matched and the kit ships.
Ordering it as a Christmas gift
Kits leave the workshop within 1-3 business days after the photo is approved and take about 7-15 business days to arrive. For delivery before Christmas, order in November. If the photo is a surprise, pull one from your phone or ask a family member for a recent shot rather than an old one from social media.
Kit Details
- Canvas sizes: 12x12 in (30x30 cm, small square), 12x16 in (30x40 cm), 16x20 in (40x50 cm, the recommended size), 20x26 in (50x65 cm) and 23.5x23.5 in (60x60 cm, jumbo square).
- Paint colors: 24, 36 or 48 numbered acrylic pots.
- Frame: canvas only, or add the DIY frame kit (wooden bars you assemble yourself).
- Shipping: free to the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia and New Zealand (free from $69 USD for other countries), with a tracking number. Orders leave our workshop within 1-3 business days and arrive in about 7-15 business days (US, Europe, Asia).

How Many Colors Should I Choose?
You can pick how many colors you want in your kit. The more colors, the more detail.

24 colors provides basic detail and is great for beginners. 48 colors is nearly lifelike but could take a long time. 36 colors provides a happy medium, enough detail and not too too long finish.

Kit contents
Every Artistry by Numbers kit ships with the five items below. Beyond a jar of water and a cloth, there is nothing else to buy before you start.
- Canvas: pre-printed with the numbered outlines, in the size picked at checkout.
- Acrylic paints: numbered pots matched to the canvas sections, 24, 36 or 48 of them depending on the level of detail chosen.
- Brush set: several sizes, the smallest one for sections narrower than a fingernail.
- Instruction sheet: how to read the numbers and the order worth painting in.
- Reference image: a small print of the finished artwork to work from.
What is Painting by Numbers?
What is Paint By Numbers?
A paint by numbers canvas arrives printed with outlined sections, and every section carries a number. The number tells you which numbered pot to open. You fill the sections one after another, and the picture builds itself as you go. Nothing has to be drawn, measured or mixed, which is why a first canvas works exactly like a twentieth.
Why Choose Artistry by Numbers?
- An hour without a screen: most people paint in the evening, one section at a time, and stop when they feel like stopping. The canvas waits.
- Your own photo: send us a picture and we turn it into a numbered canvas. A dog, a house, a wedding shot. Custom kits are here.
- 599 designs: counted in our catalogue in September 2026. The largest groups are landscapes, flowers, animals, ocean scenes and space, and there are cities, abstracts and portraits behind them.
- Three levels of detail: every design is offered with 24, 36 or 48 colours, in five canvas sizes from 30x30 cm to 60x60 cm, framed or unframed.
