FAQs

Please read our full FAQs page to find out more.

Does a paint by numbers version reproduce a famous painting exactly?

It is an adaptation of the original artwork into numbered color areas, so some brushwork and very subtle color transitions are simplified. The main composition, palette, and recognizable features are retained.

Do I need to imitate the original artist's brush technique?

No. Follow the numbered sections first; the overall arrangement of colors creates the familiar look. You can add your own brush texture afterward if you want a more painterly finish.

How should I choose the difficulty of a famous artwork kit?

Judge the design by the number of small sections, faces, intricate objects, and color changes rather than by how well known the painting is. Some famous works are surprisingly simple, while others require very fine detail.
