Hello World! Welcome Friends! If you’ve tried painting landscapes, still lifes, and puppies, but want a more personal subject, suppliers like www.paintingkits.net offer custom kits. They let you upload a photo from your own collection. Then, the photo is made into a paint by numbers kit and shipped to your home.
The tricky part might be deciding which picture you want to upload. Most people have thousands of photos saved on their phones and computers. Which one from your life will make a good paint by numbers project?

Design by Color
An easy way to decide on a photo for your custom paint by numbers kit is to use color as a guide. Decide first where you’ll want to hang your finished painting. Then, look around the room and pull colors from your surroundings. Do you have blue throw pillows on your couch? What color is your accent rug?
When you’ve identified a few colors that stand out in the room, scroll through your photo thumbnails and see if you have pictures that include one or more of those colors. Once you’ve made a few selections, print them out and tape them to the wall to see which enhances the room best.
Choose by Theme
Are you a collector with a shelf of model sailing ships? Do you have an affinity for a certain breed of dog? Is one room of your house dedicated to your yoga practice? Chances are, you already have an interesting hobby. Try choosing your photo based on that theme.
A photo from your last day at the beach might look great alongside those model ships. If you love Boston Terriers find a charming picture of your own pooch. Relaxing meditative snapshots of the forest or the lake could be great on your yoga studio walls.
Select by Skill Level
Since you’ll be painting this picture yourself, try choosing your photo based on how easy it will be to paint. Those who are just starting out with paint by numbers might want a simpler picture without a lot of fine details. If you’re seeking a challenge, pick one with a lot of objects in it.
Low-detail pictures have big blocks of color. A closeup of a face or a houseplant is a good choice. High-detail pictures usually have a lot of small objects, like the shelves of a store display or an elaborate fabric.
Opt for a Memorial
We often honor those we’ve lost or those we want to remember with pictures. Past pets are a popular choice for creative projects. Creative projects like paint by numbers can help you process your grief in a safe, healing way. The result will be a beautiful memorial you put your heart into.
You can also memorialize a point in time that brought you joy. Vacation photos are a particularly worthy choice. Did you see something while traveling abroad that inspired you? Do you want to recapture that rambunctious day at the beach? Bring that moment back to life with a custom paint by numbers kit.
