10 reasons why a paint by numbers kit beats another evening of scrolling
We asked our painters why they keep coming back to the canvas. These are the ten answers we hear most, with their own words in between.
You don't need any talent
Every area of the canvas is numbered and every paint pot matches. Follow the numbers and the picture appears. Six in ten of our painters say they are not creative people. It makes no difference.
Your head goes quiet in minutes
Hands busy, eyes on the numbers, thoughts drain out. It is the stillness people chase with meditation apps, except here it happens by itself.
"Absolutely love doing this. This painting is my 4th painting. I love the peace and calmness. I am also getting better at picking pieces that are not too fiddly so I make progress and don’t get overwhelmed by a new picture."
Vicky W.It replaces the phone without willpower
You cannot hold a brush and a phone at the same time. An evening at the canvas is often the first evening in months the screen stays dark.
It's the cheapest relaxation you'll find
One kit costs less than a single yoga class and fills 15 to 30 quiet evenings. Everything is included: canvas, matched paints and brushes.

Progress you can actually see
Every session ends with more picture than you started with. That visible progress is what makes it so hard to put down, and so satisfying to come back to.
It fits any schedule
The canvas waits patiently. Ten minutes or two hours, evening or Sunday morning, it continues exactly where you left it. No class times, no membership.
It trains your focus back
Attention is a muscle, and endless feeds have been shredding it. An hour of matching numbers and mixing colors is focus training that feels like rest.
"Amazing! What a calming and lovely thing to do. I’m hooked!! I’ve already asked for another one for my birthday!"
Rachel P.You end up with real art for your wall
An evening of scrolling leaves nothing behind. This leaves a painting you made, framed above the sofa, in the hallway, wherever you see it daily.
It makes an unbeatable gift
A kit is a gift of 20 quiet evenings plus a painting. Our reviews are full of daughters buying for mothers, friends buying for stressed friends.
There is genuinely nothing to lose
Every order ships free and comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. If painting does not relax you, send it back and pay nothing.

Absolutely love doing this. This painting is my 4th painting. I love the peace and calmness. I am also getting better at picking pieces that are not too fiddly so I make progress and don’t get overwhelmed by a new picture.

The colors are nice, easy to work with. Only issue is that the lighter colors dont cover the number as easily so you have to go over it twice. Really fun!
Olivia O.
I’m loving this! Obviously not done but really satisfied. The letters are hard since so thin so I’ve avoided it but will do later.
