Our Story

In a world that never stops, we believe in the power of slowing down, finding a moment of calm, and creating something beautiful with your own hands.

A Search for a Simple Escape

Our story begins not in a boardroom, but with a feeling many of us know all too well: the hum of modern-day stress. Our founder, William Murdock, was searching for a way to disconnect from the constant digital noise and reconnect with a sense of calm and creativity. He rediscovered Paint by Numbers, a hobby from his past, and was immediately captivated by its simple, meditative process.

The act of watching a detailed image emerge from a numbered canvas was profoundly rewarding. It was therapy, it was art, and it was pure joy.

The Birth of Paint on Numbers UK

And so, Paint on Numbers UK was born. Our mission is simple but unwavering: to be the UK's most trusted and beloved source for premium creative kits. We are obsessed with quality, from the weave of our linen canvases to the richness of our acrylic colours. We are passionate about art, curating a collection of stunning and exclusive designs you won't find anywhere else.

Most importantly, we are committed to you, our fellow creator. We believe that the joy of painting is in the entire experience, and we've built our brand to reflect that. You can learn more about our specific promises on our Why Choose Us page.
