12×12″ Classic Kit

Choosing a suitable photograph is the first step in having the best experience possible with custom paint by number kits. The quality of your photo determines the final result of the painting, so it’s important to choose a suitable image to achieve a quality result.
• Choose a clear, crisp photo with contrast between subjects and background
• Close-up images, face only or head/shoulders work best
• Mini kits are best with photos of only 1 subject, face only
• Classic kits, choose close-up photos with 1 or 2 people
• Big Kits work well with images of many subjects and details
• Main subject(s) within your photograph should be 2/3 of the entire image
• No images that are overexposed with too much light, or not enough light or blurry.
Original, printed photographs and mail orders are no longer accepted for processing.
