    - The background shouldn’t be cluttered if the photo being uploaded is a selfie, pet portrait, or family image– this is to make sure that the painting is subject-focused.

What are the Materials that Come Inside a Paint by Numbers Kit?

Unlike other paint by numbers brands, MiiCreative ensures high quality painting kits are delivered all the time to enhance people’s creative painting process. Thus, we are committed to deliver high quality kits to ensure that the overall outcome of the painting is beautiful, high quality, and aesthetically-pleasing to the eyes that can be framed and decorated to your wall.

  1. Canvas:

    A paint by numbers canvas is different compared to a regular canvas because it is pre-printed with the outline of the image that you selected. It’s pre-primed, meaning, you don’t have to put gesso anymore to make your surface more workable and smooth. Looking at the canvas for the first time may confuse you but as you delve in and start painting, the image will reveal itself like a puzzle and make sense at the end. The canvas is marked with contours and each contour area is marked with indicated numbers, which corresponds to a particular color in the acrylic paint pots. 



  2. Brushes:

    The brushes that come inside the kit come in three sizes– one small, one medium, and one large. These brushes are of high quality, environment-friendly, with ultrafine tips and anti-shred bristles so that you can reuse these brushes after finishing your paint by numbers canvas project. Make sure to take care of your brushes so that they won’t break off easily because the way you take care of them depends on how long the brushes will last long.



  3. Acrylic paint:

    The number of acrylic paints depends on the option that you choose, you can either get 24 colors, 36 colors, or 48 colors which depends on your preference. The color distribution of the hues in MiiCreative is wide so that you can have more realistic and good-looking paintings. Thus, it’s already premixed and ready to use! No need to mix additives and the best thing is that the paints are of artist quality, high coverage, and fade resistant.
