How to Paint by Numbers: A Beginner’s Guide in Australia

Paint by numbers is a guided activity where every numbered section corresponds to a paint colour. You don't need previous painting experience to get started.

Choose your first design

Begin with a picture you enjoy and larger, less intricate sections. Explore our paint by numbers kits in Australia, including animals, landscapes and abstract artwork.

Prepare your workspace

Set up good lighting, protect your table, and keep fresh water and a cloth nearby. Match the numbers on the canvas to the matching pots of acrylic paint.

Paint at your own pace

Fill one section at a time, cleaning brushes between colours. Allow painted areas to dry before adding another layer.

Display your finished artwork

Choose the frame option that suits your project where offered. For a personal design, explore our custom paint by numbers kits.
