How Custom Painting Works
Painting By Numbers Custom Landscape kits are designed to make painting approachable for everyone. Each canvas comes pre-printed with a detailed outline of your chosen image, broken into numbered sections. Every number corresponds to a specific paint color, just match the paints to the numbers and fill in each space. No drawing skills, no color mixing, no room for doubt, just a guided, calming creative process from the first brushstroke to the final detail.
What’s Inside the Package?
Everything you need to bring your custom painting to life comes neatly packed in one box:
- A high-quality, pre-numbered canvas featuring your chosen image
- A full set of numbered acrylic paints (About 24 different colors, depending on the painting)
- Three versatile paintbrushes in varying sizes for detail and coverage
- A printed reference sheet in case you need a guide along the way
- Optional frame or DIY frame kit (depending on the option you choose)
Let the Details Surprise You
When you paint a landscape, it’s not always the big features that stand out. It’s the curve of a path, the color of a roof, the reflection in a window, details you may not have noticed when you took the photo. Painting reveals those quiet elements in a way scrolling never could. You start with shapes and numbers, and suddenly you’re seeing the scene differently.
Photo Selection Guide
A great painting starts with the right photo, follow the tips below to choose one that brings out the best in your portrait.

✅ What Works Well in a Painting
- Photos taken with intent: portraits, close-ups, or well-composed shots where the subject is clearly the focus.
- Emotional connection: images that carry meaning to you (a moment, a look, a memory). That feeling translates into the final painting.
- Balanced colors and contrast: nothing too washed out or overly filtered. The more natural the tones, the more realistic your result.
🚫 What Doesn’t Work
- Heavy shadows or backlighting: these hide small features and make painting results look off, especially in portraits.
- Busy or distracting backgrounds: too much happening in the background can compete with the main subject and overwhelm the final image.
- Old screenshots or compressed files: low-quality uploads lose important detail during printing and scaling, leading to blurry or dull sections.

A Visual You Can Make Your Own
We’re used to taking pictures and adding filters, but this is something else entirely. When you paint a landscape or a seascape yourself, you’re deciding how it takes shape. You follow the structure, but the process is hands-on, physical, and real. Painting By Numbers Custom Landscape is all about seeing a place in your own way, through your own effort. And in the end, it reflects not just the place you chose, but the time you spent bringing it to life.
Customer Reviews

Maria Golden
I felt like I was back under the tree while painting it. Every area revealed something I had not observed before. It was strangely calming!

Rachel B.
A trip that had to be painted. This one deserved its own canvas.

Harold Peters
Art, hikes, and sunsets, all wrapped into one painting. Doesn’t get better than this.

Henry F.
First-ever attempt, zero experience, and somehow it still looks like a peaceful cabin escape. I’m calling that a win.

Kathleen R.
Exactly how I pictured it. Thank you!

Dominic C.
That architecture had me zooming in just to admire the details, painting every little window and roof tile made me love those buildings even more.

Irene C.
Feels like I bottled up the sound of rushing water and autumn leaves crunching underfoot, except now it hangs on my wall.

Joseph Reiff
Took my time with this one, but it was worth it. The details came out really nicely, and everything felt smooth from start to finish.
FAQ
Yes, that’s exactly what it’s made for. Every canvas is numbered, and each number matches a paint color. No experience needed — just follow the guide and enjoy the process. Mistakes? Totally fine. This is about fun, not perfection.
Choose a clear, high-resolution image with good lighting and sharp details. For people and pets, close-up shots work best, faces should be visible and not in shadow. For landscapes, pick a photo with good contrast and balanced composition. Avoid blurry images, dark lighting, or overly busy backgrounds.
