Your Painting, Step by Step
-
Open your kit: You’ll find a numbered canvas, pre-matched acrylic paints, and brushes.
-
Pick a calm space: Choose a well-lit, comfy spot with a flat surface to paint.
-
Match paint to number: Each number on the Custom Paint By Numbers Pets canvas matches a paint pot. Simple as that.
-
Start painting: One color at a time, watch your image slowly come to life.
-
Take your time: No pressure. Go at your pace and enjoy every brushstroke.
-
Display your art: Frame it or gift it, it’s your masterpiece to show off.
A Subject That Already Matters
There are endless things you could paint? but few carry meaning before the first brushstroke. With your pet, the connection is already there. You’re not just filling in shapes. You’re building on something you know, something familiar. Every part of the Custom Paint By Numbers Pets already has weight, because it comes from a bond that exists beyond the canvas.
Choose the Right Photo
Picking the right photo makes a huge difference in how your custom painting turns out. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Close-Up Shots: Choose photos where the faces fill most of the frame. Distant or wide shots lose important facial details in the painting.
Bright Lighting: Use well-lit photos, preferably taken in natural daylight. Avoid dark, shadowy, or heavily filtered pictures, as they reduce clarity and color accuracy.
Clean and Clear: Make sure your photo is sharp and in focus, blurry or low-resolution images lose detail in the final painting.
1–3 People Max: The fewer the faces, the better the detail. We recommend photos with no more than 3 people to maintain clarity and strong facial features.
Customer Reviews

I had so much fun painting this little troublemaker! It took me a few evenings, but I didn’t even notice the time flying by. My kids keep saying, ‘That looks exactly like him!’ Honestly, I’m proud of myself.

Super relaxing, and now it’s hanging in my hallway like he’s judging everyone who walks by. Love it.

This was honestly so relaxing to do. I gave it to my sister as a gift and she got teary. That little squinty face in the grass? Nailed it.
Kevin L.

I didn’t expect to get so into this, but I ended up spending whole evenings on it. Super relaxing, and now I’ve got this cool piece of my dog on the wall.

I was honestly just looking for something to do on my free time, and this project ended up meaning so much more.

Spent a few cozy afternoons painting this little sunbather. It brought back so many memories of him napping in the yard.
Lena G.

I painted this after losing one of my cats, and it honestly helped more than I expected. It felt like a peaceful way to honor them both. Now they hang together above my desk and make me smile every day.
Rachel T.

Painting my goofy beach buddy was way more fun than I expected. It felt like reliving that sunny day all over again, minus the sand in my shoes!

Chosen for a Reason
When you choose to paint your pet, a dog who follows your every step, a bird whose presence softens the room, the connection is already there. You’re not creating value; you’re recognizing it. Every stroke becomes part of something familiar and grounded, shaped by shared time. It’s a portrait of presence, built on the quiet fact that this subject already matters more than most.
