How Custom Paint by Numbers Works
Turning a memory into a masterpiece is easier than you think. A Custom Paint By Numbers Landscape kit is designed to guide you through every brushstroke, no experience required.
Each section of the canvas is marked with a number. That number matches a specific paint color. You simply fill in each area with the corresponding paint, and gradually, your custom image comes to life, layer by layer, detail by detail.
What’s Included in the Kit:
- Pre-numbered canvas: Printed with your custom design, divided into easy-to-follow sections
- Acrylic paint set: Pre-mixed, no blending needed, each color clearly labeled to match the canvas
- Three detail brushes: For wide areas, edges, and fine lines
- Reference guide: A printed version of your design to use as a backup visual aid
- Optional frame or hanging tools: Some kits come ready to hang when you’re done
Whether you’re relaxing or reconnecting with a memory, the process is as satisfying as the final result.
More Than Just Scenery
It could be trees, fields, rooftops, even the curve of a hill you’ve never forgotten. The kit takes your photo and turns it into a numbered layout, ready to paint step by step. As you work through the shapes, the place starts to show itself again, not just in color, but in feeling. It becomes something to focus on, and something to return to.
Choosing the Right Photo for Best Results

✅ Go for clear, close-up shots: The subject should be well-lit and fill most of the frame.
❌ Avoid strong sunlight or shadows: Harsh lighting can hide details and distort colors.
✅ Use natural, even lighting: Outdoor daylight (without direct sun) works great.
❌ Skip wide or distant shots: Faces and key features can get lost in the details.
✅ 1–3 people max: Keeps features clear and detailed.
❌ Crowds don’t convert well: Too many faces = lost definition.
✅Sharp is essential: Make sure your photo isn’t blurry or pixelated.
❌ Blurry shots won’t work: Details will be hard to capture and the Custom Paint By Numbers Landscape kit may look flat.

Customer Reviews

Every time I walk past this painting, it takes me right back to that crisp mountain air and those peaceful red canoes. The colors are so rich, it seriously feels like I brought a piece of the trip home with me.

The clouds, the trees, everything feels like a soft memory on canvas.

The glow in this sunset is unreal! Painting it felt like reliving our summer evenings on the dock. Super relaxing to work on!

Gloria Peterson
Venice has always had a special place in my heart, and now it has one on my wall too. Those reds and blues, it brings back the buzz of the canals like I’m still right there.

Roger Whitman
Felt like I stepped back in time painting this! Every brick, window, and detail from our old town shop came to life. Got it framed already, looks amazing on the wall.

Heather Lawson
Loved how this one turned out! The custom landscape felt like it was made just for me. The colors, the vibe, everything came together so perfectly. I’m seriously obsessed.
A Way to Keep It Close
The Custom Paint By Numbers Landscape takes time, hours spent focused on the outlines, the shades, the small details that slowly bring the scene together. But that time isn’t just about the result; it’s a way to stay connected to a place that means something to you. As you fill in each section, you’re not just recreating a landscape, you’re reliving it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Every kit comes with a pre-printed canvas featuring your custom image, a complete set of pre-mixed acrylic paints, three detail brushes (small, medium, and large), and a color reference guide for accuracy.
Not at all! The beauty of Paint by Numbers is that anyone can create a stunning result, regardless of skill level.
Yes, but for the best result, the photo should be clear, well-lit, and high-resolution. Avoid blurry, dark, or wide-angle shots with tiny faces.
That depends on the canvas size and your pace, but most people finish their painting within 15–25 hours. It’s a relaxing, rewarding experience you can enjoy over several sessions.
Definitely—but we recommend 1 to 3 subjects for best clarity. More than that may reduce detail and facial definition, especially in smaller sizes.
Once the painting is complete, the numbers are usually fully covered. For very light areas, you may want to apply two coats or use white paint as a base layer.
It’s an amazing gift! Whether for birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, or holidays, a custom Paint by Numbers kit is deeply personal and meaningful.
