Paint by numbers, from 16 colours to 96.

Three hundred and fifty digital kits — glaciers, skylines, hobbit holes, harbours. Every one arrives as a set of difficulty levels so the same painting can be an easy evening or a two-week project.

What you are actually getting

A digital paint-by-numbers kit is not one file. Each of ours ships as a graded set: a 16-colour version for a relaxed evening, then 24, 36, 48, and on the larger scenes a 96-colour ultra-fine level that holds detail down to individual reflections in water. Same painting, five different amounts of patience required.

Every kit includes the numbered outline, a matched colour key, and a clean reference of the finished painting so you always know where you are heading. Files come as PDF for printing, PNG with transparency for layering, and SVG so you can scale a canvas to any size without the lines going soft.

Four to five levels per kit

The same scene at 16, 24, 36, 48 and — on the bigger paintings — 96 colours. Start easy, come back to the hard one later.

Print it or paint on glass

Print the outline on card and use acrylics, or drop the PNG into Procreate, Fresco or Photoshop and fill with the colour key. The kit works either way.

Sized for A4 and US Letter

Every PDF is laid out for both, so a Letter printer will not crop the edge off a European sheet. Larger canvas sizes come from the SVG.

Questions people ask

Do I need an iPad to use these?

No. Every kit prints. The PDF is built for A4 and US Letter, so you can print the numbered outline at home, tape it to card and paint it with whatever you own — acrylics, gouache, markers. The iPad route is an option, not a requirement.

What do I open the files with on a tablet?

Procreate is the usual answer, and the PNG layers are built for it. Adobe Fresco works the same way. On Android, Infinite Painter and Sketchbook both handle the files. You are filling numbered regions with the supplied colour key, so any app with a bucket fill and layers will do.

How many colours should a beginner start with?

Sixteen. It sounds low, but a 16-colour version of a good painting still reads properly — the artist has already done the work of choosing which sixteen. Most people finish one in an evening or two and immediately want the 36.

Can I print the same kit more than once?

Yes, as many times as you like, forever. That is the part people underestimate about digital: ruin a painting halfway through and you just print it again. There is no second purchase.

Are these for commercial use?

They are for personal use — paint them, frame them, give them away. If you want to sell finished paintings or use the files commercially, message the shop first and we will sort out the right licence.
