The Ultimate Guide to Paint by Numbers is a downloadable eBook covering how to choose a kit, paint it well, and finish it properly once the last number is filled in.
Most people learn paint by numbers by getting things slightly wrong the first time: paint that dries out halfway, a canvas with creases that never quite flatten, visible numbers showing through pale colors, and no idea what to do with the finished piece. This guide is written to save you that first canvas.
What it covers
- Choosing a design and size that matches your patience and your eyesight
- Setting up your space, lighting and brush order before you start
- Working large sections to small, and why that order matters
- Stopping numbers showing through light colors
- Blending edges so the finished piece does not look paint-by-numbers
- Reviving paint that has thickened, and what to do when a pot runs low
- Flattening a rolled canvas without damaging it
- Sealing, varnishing, stretching and framing your finished painting
Who it's for
Written for adults painting their first kit, and for anyone who has finished a few and wants the results to look better. It assumes no art training and no prior technique.
Common questions
Is this a physical book?
No, it is a digital download. You get it straight after purchase and can read it on a phone, tablet or computer, or print the pages you want beside you while painting.
Do I need a Ledgebay kit to use it?
No. The techniques apply to any paint by numbers kit, though the sections on paint sets and canvas assume an acrylic kit like ours.
Will it help with a custom photo canvas?
Yes, and it is worth reading first if you have ordered one. Custom canvases tend to have more small sections than stock designs, so the blending and brush-order chapters earn their keep.
