Choose your photo

Choose a clear close-up of a teacher with one student. Large class photos contain much smaller faces, so this gallery focuses on simple two-person portraits.

Keep the part you want to paint.

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.

Drawings only. Your kit follows the photo you upload.

You still owe them a thank-you

Some people change the way you walk into a room. You never quite said that out loud.

A face you still know

A face you still know

Glasses. The line of the mouth. You would recognize them in a hallway.

A thanks you can finish

Slow, and practical. One color, then the next.

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 photo works for a teacher or mentor keepsake?

Choose a clear close-up of a teacher or mentor with one student. This page's examples focus on simple two-person portraits. A large class photo makes each face much smaller, so compare how clearly the people appear before choosing your reference.

Square diamonds give a neater finish

I've bought a few things here and the quality is superb. I didn't know square diamonds existed, and I prefer them to round ones because the finish is neater. It looks amazing.

Book nook gift was a hit
