Paint By Numbers Custom People

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 Paint By Numbers Custom People 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.

Attention Becomes Gesture

Every part of the face asks something different from you. Some areas move quickly, others hold you still. You start to notice small things: the way a feature turns, the soft weight of shadow, the rhythm between contrast and light. It’s not mechanical. It’s quiet, focused work. Your time, your eye, and your presence all moving in the same direction, toward someone you already know and love, now seen more closely.

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.

This one’s a work in progress, but already I’m in love.

I was just messing around with this one at first, but halfway through I got weirdly emotional. It’s not perfect, but it feels like us. That’s what matters.

Greg T.

My daughter picked this picture herself, and we painted it together over a few weekends. It’s not just a memory of her, it’s a memory with her now. Pure joy.

A Personal Way to Say They Matter

Painting someone is a form of presence. It’s staying with them longer than a moment, longer than a glance. It’s giving your attention in a way that doesn’t need to be spoken. What takes shape on the Paint By Numbers Custom People canvas is one thing, but what takes shape in the time spent painting says more. It’s steady, intentional, and unmistakably personal.
