Hot Air Balloons Over Mountains at Sunset

Cheap kits frustrate because they're made by algorithms, not artists. Stolen artwork or AI art gets run through automated software that creates impossible color transitions and unreadable numbers.

We do the opposite: real artists design each kit from scratch, test every color separation, and adjust the numbering until it actually makes sense. Plus canvas thick enough that your brush won't poke through. That's why our kits look so pretty when they are finished!

Other stores let you order the same design in 24, 36, or 48 colors (that's how many different paint pots you get). Sounds flexible, right?

It's actually a shortcut that can make your painting look worse.

Here's what really happens: They take one design (often AI generated or generic stock art) and send it to suppliers who automatically convert it to whatever color count you picked. Want fewer colors? The software mashes complex details into chunky blobs. Want more colors? It splits simple areas into unnecessary tiny sections.

We do the opposite. Every design is hand crafted by artists specifically for its optimal color count. Our beginner kits use fewer colors with larger, satisfying sections that are perfect for getting started. Our advanced pieces use more colors with genuine detail complexity that makes the extra work worthwhile.

The result? Your finished painting looks exactly like the preview photo. No surprises, no "well, it's close enough" moments.

Think of it like getting a dress that's actually tailored for your body versus one that's just marked "one size fits most." Sure, you have fewer "options," but what you get actually fits perfectly.

Your kit will look like the preview. That's a promise other stores can't make.

Premium quality you can count on: Carefully curated designs transformed into numbered canvases, acrylic paints perfectly mixed to match each artwork (no generic colors here), brushes that won't shed, and clear instructions.

These aren't just any paint by number kits. They're thoughtfully designed masterpieces waiting for your touch.

Oh, and the smug satisfaction of creating something beautiful with your own hands.

• Beginner (24 colors): Perfect for first-timers, larger sections
• Intermediate (36 colors): More detail, medium-sized sections
• Advanced (48 colors): Maximum detail for experienced painters

Start with beginner unless you're a masochist. You can always level up on the next one.

You will make mistakes. It's fine. Light paint covers dark paint once dry. Painted outside the lines? That's "artistic interpretation."

Wrong color entirely? Let it dry, paint over it. Knocked over paint pot #7? Email us, we'll send more.

We've seen every possible mistake. Yours won't be special.

Keep lids tight, store in a cool place. Paints stay good for months - no rush to finish. If a paint gets thick, add a tiny drop of water. If it's completely dried out because you abandoned this project for six months (we see you), email us. Pixie doesn't judge procrastinators.

Rare, but it happens. Shipping can be violent. Email us a photo of the crime scene, we'll ship replacements within 24 hours. No interrogation, no "did you try turning it off and on again." Just new paints, on us.

People have been turning photos into paintings since... forever. Paint by numbers just makes it accessible to those of us who can't freehand a stick figure. Your grandma probably did paint by numbers. Now you're planning on doing your own beautiful painting. It's evolution, not a trend.

Can they match numbers? Handle tiny paint pots without creating abstract art on your furniture? Sit still for more than 10 minutes? If yes to all three, maybe. We recommend 12+ for our kits.

Join the club. Around 6% of the paintings people purchase from us get hoarded for future activities.

But here's the thing - acrylic paint doesn't expire quickly. That abandoned kit will wait for you. We've had people finish kits two years after starting. The painting doesn't care about your timeline.
