Learn About Your Kit
This Venice canal scene has that "I should book a trip but my bank account says otherwise" vibe, complete with gondolas that look way more romantic than they probably smell in real life.
The terracotta buildings glow like they're lit from within, while those teal shutters pop against the warm stone like Pixie's eyes against her gray fur. The water reflections are where things get interesting all those wavy, broken building shapes will test your patience more than assembling IKEA furniture.
That golden hour sky melts from peachy orange to soft blue, creating the kind of light that makes even mundane architecture look like it belongs in a movie.
The Science Behind Your New Favourite Hobby
Your therapist costs $150/hour. This costs significantly less (and comes with wall art).
Look, we get it. Your spare room cupboard is full of half finished craft projects and good intentions. But paint by numbers is different because the hardest decision is already made: what goes where.
Here's what actually happens (and there's real science on this): After about 30 minutes of matching colours to numbers, something shifts.
A 2016 study tracked people's stress hormones and found 75% had measurably lower cortisol levels after just 45 minutes with art supplies. That mental noise? The endless replay of work emails and tomorrow's meetings? It gets quieter.
Scientists have a fancy term for it: "flow state." Brain scans show that when you're focused on something creative, different parts of your brain start talking to each other better. A review of 776 studies over 20 years found consistent evidence that structured art activities (like following numbered patterns) work better than random doodling for reducing anxiety.
Your brain waves literally change. The same pattern you get during meditation starts showing up while you're painting. Your shoulders drop. Your breathing slows down. Even Pixie notices you're less twitchy.
Clinical trials found that people doing structured art for a few weeks had serious improvements in mood — like, measurable on psychology tests improvements.
The best part? You end up with something real. Something you can hang on your lounge wall instead of another app on your phone.
It's basically prescribed chill time that comes with wall art.
Studies: Kaimal et al. (2016), Abbing et al. (2018), Ciasca et al. (2018), De Pisapia et al. (2016), plus several others that sound very official when you need to prove this isn't just craft time.

What Our Happy Customers Have To Say
We have hundreds of happy customers around the world
Absolutely brilliant kit! The mountain colours were gorgeous and everything was labelled perfectly. Took me about 3 weeks of evening painting, but the result is spectacular.
bought this because their ad make me laugh. great kit, very pleased with the end result.
my painting still looks like a potato.
Lovely set overall. Had to contact support for more of the turquoise paint as I ran a bit short, but they were quite helpful. The finished piece looks brilliant in my study.
The design is beautiful, but the paints dried after I left them out. Maria sent me more paint for free - gotta tell people they can't leave the paint open. Pleased with the final result.
Fantastic experience from start to finish. The colours were true to the picture, and the numbering system was crystal clear. A perfect winter evening project.
A bit frustrating at first - but once i got into my groove it went quite smoothly. Beautiful finished piece. The numbers were a little small on my pice.
As someone with arthritis, I found this kit wonderfully manageable. The larger sections were a joy to paint, and the smaller bits had clear boundaries. Well organised.
My third kit so far. Good quality canvas and the paints mixed well. Needed extra coats on the lighter colours but worth the effort.
Brilliantly organised kit. Each colour was perfectly matched to the preview image, and the numbered areas were well defined. Took about a month to finish but well worth it. Will buy again.
The finished piece is lovely, but some of the paint pots arrived a little dried out but a tad of water did the trick. Customer service sorted it quickly though, so no major complaints.
Absolutely chuffed with this kit
Rather therapeutic project. The subtle shades were beautifully organised, though I did need good lighting for the smaller sections. Worth every dollar.
Purchased this for my retirement hobby and couldn't be more pleased. The colours were vibrant and true to the image. Even the tiniest areas were clearly marked (had to use a magnifying glass)
Decent kit overall. The canvas quality was brilliant, but a few of the darker colours needed extra coats. Still happy with how it turned out.
Started off a bit challenging - some numbers were quite faint. Once I got going though, it was quite enjoyable. Lovely finished piece for my lounge.
Brilliant quality throughout. The paints were well mixed, canvas was sturdy, and the numbering system was spot on. Never fails to get a reaction.
Lovely kit
First time trying paint by numbers and I'm thoroughly impressed. Everything was well-organised and the instructions were crystal clear.
Nice project overall. Some areas needed a steady hand and proper lighting, but the end result is quite lovely. Good value for money.
Absolutely marvellous kit. The colours were perfectly matched, and the canvas quality exceeded expectations. Wonderfully relaxing hobby.
Analysis Paralysis Is Real.
Close your eyes. Point. That's the one. You're welcome.
