How it works

1. Upload and frame your photo

On any kit page, choose a photo from your phone or computer. Pick portrait or landscape, then drag and zoom to frame it. The frame is exactly the shape of your 16×20 in canvas.

2. Preview your kit

In a few seconds the page shows two previews: the finished painting, and the numbered canvas you’ll actually paint. Your photo is simplified into areas of flat colour, and each area gets a number. Tiny details merge into their neighbours so every space is big enough to paint.

3. We make your kit

When you order, your framed photo is printed onto canvas as a numbered outline, and the paints are mixed for your picture and numbered to match. Making a kit takes about a week; shipping across Canada takes about 7–12 business days.

4. Paint it

• Start with the large areas and the darkest colours, then work towards the small details.
• Paint one number at a time so you don’t open every pot at once.
• Two thin coats cover better than one thick one, especially over the printed numbers.
• Keep the pots closed between sessions so the paint doesn’t dry out.

Choosing a good photo

• Bright and in focus. Daylight beats a flash.
• Let the subject fill the frame: faces and close-ups keep the most detail.
• Simple backgrounds paint cleaner than busy rooms.
• Bigger originals print sharper; screenshots and old thumbnails can look soft.
