Do I need painting experience?

Not at all. Every cell is labelled with a number that matches exactly one paint pot, so the path is mapped out before you start. Many first-time customers tell us they “upgraded” from colouring books and felt immediate success because there is no fear of blank canvas. If you can hold a pen, you can follow our template – and our illustrated guide explains brush cleaning, best lighting and drying tips in plain English.

Are your acrylics non-toxic?

Yes. Our colours are water-based, low-odour and fully EN 71-3 certified, so they’re free of heavy metals and phthalates. Ventilation is optional; a dining-room table setup is perfectly safe. Brushes rinse clean with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap. check_box

Best way to protect the finished artwork?

Lightly brush on our clear acrylic varnish once the paint is fully dry (about 24 h). It cures to a subtle satin sheen that boosts colour vibrancy and shields against dust and UV fade. After 30 minutes you can frame, stretch or gift the piece. check_box

What if I make a mistake while painting?

Let the area dry, then apply a new layer of the correct colour. Our pigments are opaque enough to cover stray strokes completely. For major slip-ups, a touch of white primer resets the spot in seconds. check_box

Will the numbers show through lighter colours?

We print numerals in a low-contrast grey, and the paint is formulated for one-coat coverage. If you’re using very light pastels, a quick second pass ensures the numerals disappear entirely. check_box
