FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What are Paint by Number kits?
Painting by numbers is a fun, meditative, and totally Instagrammable craft. Your kit from Easy Artiste will come with everything you need to get started + a guided team event. All you do is fill in pre-numbered areas on a canvas with specific colors of paint.
What will my Easy Artiste kit include?
Each kit includes a high-quality, preprinted linen canvas with a 15"x15" wooden frame, three paintbrushes (small, medium & large) tucked in a velvet pouch, and approximately 24 water-based, non-toxic acrylic paints.
No mixing is required to create the right colors. Sometimes a kit will include more than one capsule of a particular paint color if the painting requires extra. We provide plenty of paint to complete your virtual masterpiece.
How much does an event cost?
Pricing starts at $59/kit + shipping/tax and includes all the supplies plus a complimentary event host. We require a minimum of 15 kits per order and ask for a 50% deposit to secure your spot.
What is your shipping policy?
We require three weeks between order date and your event. We are happy to collect addresses on your behalf and can include company swag in each box at your request. International shipping requires additional time in transit.

Painting by number is easy to learn. Just match the numbered sections on the canvas to your pre-mixed paint capsules. Depending on how fast you paint, it can take just a couple of days to several weeks to complete your painting.
How should I prepare my workspace?
Pick a well-lit part of your home and unroll your canvas. Place it on a flat surface and grab a cup of water and some paper towels. You're ready to get painting!
How should I care for my paint brushes?
Remember what your art teacher told you as a kid! Make sure to thoroughly wash your brushes between each use. Easy Artiste recommends dabbing them dry with a paper towel before switching colors. Never let your brushes sit overnight in water. If a brush is particularly dirty, you can add a drop of mild soap to make it easier to clean.
How should I care for my paint capsules?
Our acrylic paints are non-toxic and better for the environment than oil alternatives. If your paint seems to thick, simply add a few drops of water and stir the capsule with a toothpick.
Between uses, seal the capsules tightly by closing the lid.
What happens if I make a mistake?
We recommend putting down a sheet of newspaper to protect your work surface before painting. If you paint the wrong area or go outside the lines, don't stress! Simply wait a few minutes for the paint to dry and go over the error with a fresh coat of the correct color. Sometimes it takes a couple coats of paint to completely cover the lines and numbers - it's smart to wait for the first layer to dry before repainting.
