Is this paint by numbers kit difficult?

This is an Intermediate level kit. The painting process is immersive and thoughtful. Clear sections guide you gently through the figure, while the abstract background allows for more expressive flow.

Do I need to mix the paints to get the skin tones?

No, mixing is never required. We provide every specific shade of skin tone, magenta, and violet in pre-mixed, numbered acrylic pots. You simply match the number on the pot to the number on the canvas.

What size do you recommend?

We recommend the 40x50cm size. This canvas size creates an intimate presence on the wall, perfect for showcasing the subtle emotions in the subject's face and the depth of the colours.

Can I frame this painting?

Yes! We offer a DIY Frame option which includes wooden stretcher bars. Once your painting is dry, you can stretch the canvas over the bars for a professional gallery-wrapped look, ready to hang.

A Private Moment

A woman turns slightly away from the viewer with her gaze drifting off as if caught in a private thought. With Held Close, one of our most intimate Abstract & Modern Paint by Numbers kits, you can explore this quiet tension and warmth.

Her posture is gentle but guarded with one hand drawn close to her chest. It suggests protection rather than retreat. This painting feels personal, like a moment you were not meant to rush past.

Why this scene is a joy to paint

Guarded Warmth

One hand rests softly against her chest. Painting this protective gesture creates a connection with the subject. It feels intimate and almost confessional.

Emotion in Colour

Deep magentas, soft violets, muted greens, and inky blues swirl around her. This expressive background wraps the figure in atmosphere rather than overwhelming her.

Real & Present

Her face is expressive and human, not idealised. There is a quiet tension in her eyes balanced by the softness of her skin tones. Painting these details feels slow and thoughtful.

⭐ Choosing Your Perfect Kit

Which Colour Count is Right for You?
More colours mean more detail, smoother transitions, and a more realistic final painting.

24 Colours (Standard): Great for a classic paint by numbers feel with bold, distinct colour blocks. Perfect for beginners and simpler designs.
36 Colours (Most Popular): Highly recommended for most paintings. This option captures subtle details in faces, landscapes, and pets, creating a richer, more nuanced result.
48 Colours (Ultimate Detail): The ultimate choice for complex, high-resolution designs. This provides the most realistic and impressive finish with the smoothest colour gradients.

Which Framing Style Should You Choose?

Without Frame (Rolled Canvas): For the purist. You'll receive the rolled canvas, ready for you to frame using your own creative solution.
DIY Frame: For the hands-on creator. We provide an easy-to-assemble wooden frame kit. This allows you to stretch your canvas yourself for a professional, gallery-wrapped look.
Stretched on Frame: For instant gratification. Your canvas arrives professionally stretched and ready to hang on the wall or give as a perfect, finished gift.
