Product Information
Full details
The Artiste Large Paint By Numbers kit is ideal for hobbyists and budding artists of all skill levels who want to create professional-looking artwork without needing advanced techniques. Its primary benefit is the structured, number-coded system that takes the guesswork out of color selection and composition, though users should be aware that the 39.5 x 29.5cm board requires patience to complete smaller, intricate details.

FAQs
Do I need to buy extra paints or brushes?
No, the kit is fully self-contained and includes 14 paint pots and three brushes suited for the canvas size.
How long does it take to complete the painting?
Completion time varies based on individual pace, but most users find it takes several sessions over the course of a week.
Can I mix the colors provided?
While the kit is designed to be used as-is, the acrylics are mixable if you wish to experiment with different shades, though this is not required for the design.
Is the paint safe for children to use?
The kit is generally safe, but adult supervision is recommended for younger artists due to the small size of some paint pots and the detailed nature of the work.
What is the best way to clean the brushes?
Rinse brushes thoroughly with water immediately after use. Do not let the acrylic paint dry on the bristles.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or dry
Add a single drop of water to the paint pot and stir thoroughly with a toothpick until the consistency is smooth.
Number is still visible through paint
Allow the first layer to dry completely, then apply a second thin coat of the same color to ensure full opacity.
Brush hairs are splaying or stiff
Gently clean the brush in lukewarm water with mild soap, reshape the bristles with your fingers, and let it air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clean, flat surface covered with protective paper. Keep a jar of water nearby to rinse your brushes between color changes to avoid muddying your palette. Store paint pots tightly closed when not in use to prevent the acrylics from drying out. When painting, work from the top of the canvas to the bottom to avoid smudging your progress with your hand. Once finished, ensure the piece is fully cured for 24 hours before installing the hanging hooks, and avoid placing the finished artwork in direct, harsh sunlight to maintain color vibrancy over time.
