Canvas size
Which size do most people choose?
Most people start with 16" × 20". A larger canvas fits more of the subject.
16" × 20" One subject or a pet.
20" × 24" A couple, or a pet with more detail.
24" × 32" A family group or a landscape.
Colors
What's the difference?
Same photo. More colors split it into smaller numbered areas and add more paint pots.
24 colors Larger areas. Fewer pots.
36 colors More of the small shifts.
48 colors Smallest areas. Takes longer.

The table is still set

A family photo stays noisy after everyone has left the room. You can still tell who sat where.

One face, then the next

Start with the person you look for first. The others come back around them.

Questions about your Custom kit

Choose your photo, palette and finish before ordering.

What comes with my Custom kit?

Your kit contains one pre-numbered linen canvas based on your photo, a pre-mixed acrylic paint set in your selected 24-, 36- or 48-color palette, three nylon brushes, a small reference image, two screws and two wall hooks. Brush color and handle design may vary by batch.

Which Custom sizes, color counts and finishes can I choose?

Choose 40 × 50, 50 × 60 or 60 × 80 cm, listed as approximately 16 × 20, 20 × 24 or 24 × 32 inches. Each size offers 24, 36 or 48 colors and No Frame or Ready-to-Hang. These are Custom choices; standard kits have their own size and Type options.

How should I choose between 24, 36 and 48 colors?

24 colors gives you fewer paint pots to track. The 36- and 48-color options provide larger pre-mixed palettes. Compare the selected price, canvas size and photo before choosing. All three use number matching; more colors cannot restore a blurry face or missing detail in the original photo.

What is the difference between No Frame and Ready-to-Hang?

No Frame is a rolled canvas. Ready-to-Hang is pre-stretched on wooden bars; paint it and let it dry before hanging. Neither includes a decorative outer frame. For No Frame, plan a flat painting support and a later mounting method. Our framing guide explains the choices.

What makes a photo suitable for a Custom kit?

Choose a sharp, well-lit image with a clear main subject. For people or pets, keep faces or eyes easy to see and leave space for cropping. A close portrait or clear focal point is easier to assess than a distant, crowded scene. Follow the subject page's advice or the Custom photo guide.

How do I turn my photo into a kit?

Choose a Custom product, select its size, color count and finish, and upload your photo when ordering. You receive a physical numbered-canvas kit to paint yourself. Check the photo and options before checkout; start with the Custom photo guide or Custom paint by numbers kit.

Are the images AI-assisted? Can I choose an entirely AI-free kit?

Custom product pages use AI-assisted lifestyle and finished-artwork illustrations, not customer submissions or exact previews. Your kit is based on your uploaded photo and selected options. We do not make a blanket AI-free promise for the design or production process. If this matters to your purchase, contact us about the specific kit before ordering.

Do I need experience, and what can I learn?

No drawing experience is needed: match each canvas number to its paint pot. You can practice brush control, edges and paint handling, while drawing and composition remain separate skills. Start with our beginner painting guide; Muse Guide offers painting help and ideas.

How long will it take to finish a kit?

Time varies with size, detail, your pace and session length. A 40 × 50 cm Custom kit with 24 colors has no fixed completion time; color count alone does not describe the work. Plan several sessions and, for a gift you paint yourself, allow time for drying too.

Can I order this Custom kit as a gift?

Yes. Choose a meaningful photo and check the size, palette, finish and delivery address. Give the kit for the recipient to paint, or paint it yourself first. Ready-to-Hang still needs painting. Read the Shipping Policy and contact us about a fixed gift date before ordering.

How long will my order take, and how will I get tracking?

Read the current Shipping Policy for processing and delivery information. When tracking is available, it goes to the checkout email address. Timing depends on the order and destination. For help with an order or a fixed gift date, contact us with the order number or the kit you are considering.

Can I cancel or return a Custom order?

The Custom cancellation and refund window is 24 hours after ordering. Email help@diyartmuse.com within that window and wait for written confirmation. Afterward, a kit made from your photo cannot be canceled, returned or refunded for a change of mind.

Remedies for a faulty, damaged, incomplete or wrong item, or one materially different from the agreed image or description, still apply. Non-waivable consumer rights remain unaffected. Read the current Refund Policy for full terms and reporting instructions.

What should I look for in a family photo?

Use a close, well-lit photo with a small group of people and clearly visible faces. A simple background keeps attention on the family. Check that the people you want to paint can be seen clearly, rather than choosing a wide scene with very small faces.

A birthday piece for my travel-mad niece

I bought this to do for my travel-mad niece for her birthday, and I really loved doing it. Very easy to do, and it looks great when finished. I'm sure she'll love it. The buying experience at DIY Art Muse was smooth.

Numbers stay light, paints weren't dry

I liked it a lot. The numbers are easy to see and light enough not to show through. You need patience, because some numbered areas have very small sections to color, although you eventually get the hang of it. The canvas is good quality and none of the paints arrived dry. I ordered this from DIY Art Muse and it was easy.

Easy greens for her jungle room

Fun to do. I made it for my granddaughter. She has a jungle-themed room, and this hangs above her bed. I wouldn't call the difficulty medium, but easy, especially because of the large green areas. Had a good experience ordering this from DIY Art Muse.

Pieces that fit and come out cleanly

The pieces fit perfectly, are easy to remove from their positions in the wooden base sheets, and the construction was very enjoyable, especially when everything works correctly. I bought this from DIY Art Muse and the experience was good.

Coasters for my daughter's birthday

I bought this as a birthday present for my daughter. She absolutely loved the idea of creating her own coasters. Such an original idea. Packaged perfectly, with good-quality paints and brushes. A real find. Perfect for a mindful activity. Had a good experience ordering this from DIY Art Muse.

Twenty-fifth project, jungle room

This was my 25th paint by numbers project. This one was also very fun to do. I made it for my granddaughter's jungle-themed room. Sometimes easy and sometimes very detailed to paint. But I'm very happy with the result, and my granddaughter thought it was very beautiful. Glad I bought this from DIY Art Muse.

A challenge my father-in-law enjoyed

We bought this painting for my 95-year-old father-in-law. He has severe COPD, and this is one of the few things he can still do. He's enjoyed it enormously for several years. He was satisfied with the paints, brushes, and the painting, although this one was quite a challenge with so many small figures. I ordered this from DIY Art Muse and it was easy.

Detailed favorite, maybe one to keep

I really enjoyed doing this painting. Having done around ten already, this is my favorite so far. It's so detailed, which takes time, but when it's finished it's just beautiful. It's going to be a present for a family member, but I like it so much I might have to order it again to keep for myself. I ordered this from DIY Art Muse and it was easy.

Family photo looks like a poster

The paint covers well, the numbers are easy to see, and the quality is good. After making previous canvases, I chose a photo of my own family, and what a lovely result. It looks just like a poster. Glad I bought this from DIY Art Muse.

Family photos turned into paintings

This is the first time I've used this. The quality of the oils and the printing on the canvas is far superior to any others I've used, and that matters because I send a family photo and convert it into a painting, which gives a better painting than I can achieve myself. I'm now going through my photo collection to see which ones I want next. I ordered this from DIY Art Muse and it was easy.

Leo came off the canvas

An even better result than I imagined, having reviewed it after seeing Leo appear from the canvas. Another stunning result, much admired by my critical family. The next subject, Resting Tiger, has arrived, but I'm reluctant to take Leo and his missus down from the easel just yet. The buying experience at DIY Art Muse was smooth.

A bright owl for my grandson

I absolutely loved painting this bright owl. It was a gift for my 6-year-old grandson, which he put on his wall. He loves rainbow colors, and this fitted in well. Had a good experience ordering this from DIY Art Muse.

Vivid colors once in the room

Once placed in the room, they looked very good. The colors are very vivid, which brings cheerfulness to the room and improves its appearance. The buying experience at DIY Art Muse was smooth.

Mom's first of a three-pack

My family gifted a three-pack of custom paint by number kits to my mother for Christmas. We purchased 16 by 20 inch canvases with 36 paints for better detail. She finished her first picture and it's absolutely perfect. How she does these, I don't know. She has some kind of patience, that's for sure. I ordered this from DIY Art Muse and it was easy.

After-school mats with the grandchildren

A giraffe for her new home

I bought this as a surprise present for my giraffe-loving daughter. It brightens up the wall in her new home and makes everyone smile. Great colors, and easy to paint. Glad I bought this from DIY Art Muse.
