Create your very own Van Gogh with the paint by number kit from Banlana, and take in the masterpiece that is Starry Night. Including more brushes than other sets, this kit comes with six premium painting brushes, one set of acrylic paints, instructions, and a reference card for easy painting. Numbers that are shown more often actually include more paint so you should have adequate paint but the option for extra paint is available so you can paint without worrying about running out. This is a favorite amongst those who have done a lot of paint by numbers and the quality of the canvas is said to be very nice. It’s worth noting that this print in particular might be a little harder than others because the elongated parts can be harder to keep track of due to limited numbering, but with time and care you’re sure to love the process as well as the outcome.

None that we could find

The magic cat adult paint by numbers from Komking is another great paint by number, bound to help you scratch your creative itch. Included is a pre-printed textured art canvas, a set of acrylic paints, and a three-piece brush set for painting. The canvas does come folded so it might have some minor creases but this doesn’t sound like an issue for most people. The included brushes aren’t great so you might want to invest in different brushes but they will hold up for the completion of the painting. Details of this paint by number are said to be intricate and may be hard to follow so we would recommend keeping this paint by number to adults. The acrylic paints included are said to have good coverage but lighter areas will need two coats to look their best, and once finished you’ll have an awesome painting that’s bound to garner a ton of compliments!

Seen on Shark Tank, Pink Picasso’s paint by numbers are a beautiful gift for any creative person in your life. This paint by numbers canvas comes rolled, so there’s no worrying about creases and does come with brushes included, but they’re said to be mediocre. Said to be relaxing and less difficult than some others, this paint by number might require a little extra time due to the thin paint viscosity so plan to take some time on your painting. While some have voiced worries about not having enough paint to finish, there are no actual reports of this so we wouldn’t go so far as to say that this is a con but it might detract from the relaxation in your process.
