Advanced Paint By Number Kits

Advanced paint by numbers kits are the most intricate designs in our range — built for painters who want to be genuinely absorbed in the work. Fine sections, a large palette, and layered detail that takes real time and attention to bring out. These are not beginner kits in disguise. They are proper artistic challenges, with the numbered guide still there to keep you on course.

Expect small, precise sections alongside sweeping backgrounds, with subtle colour transitions that reward patience. The more hours you put in, the more the image reveals itself — the kind of slow reveal that makes advanced kits so satisfying to finish.

Completed pieces from this collection are genuinely gallery-worthy. Framed and hung, they look like original paintings. Many of our customers frame them without telling anyone — and nobody guesses.

Stand-out designs include Iris & Poppies, Botanical Still Life, and Cornish Fishing Harbour. Looking for the ultimate personal challenge? Our Custom Paint By Numbers Kit turns any photo you choose into a fully guided painting — a keepsake that is uniquely yours.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an advanced paint by numbers kit take to complete?
Advanced kits typically take 25 to 40+ hours, reflecting the fine sections, layered detail, and larger colour palette involved. Most painters work on them over several weeks rather than finishing in one sitting.

Do I need real painting skill to attempt an advanced kit?
No prior painting skill is required — every section is still numbered and guided. What advanced kits ask for is patience: smaller, more precise sections and subtle colour transitions that reward taking your time rather than technical skill.

What's the difference between an advanced kit and a custom kit?
Advanced kits use our most detailed pre-designed artwork. Our Custom Paint By Numbers Kit can be produced at any difficulty level, including advanced detail, but is built from a photo you choose rather than one of our existing designs.

Will a finished advanced kit really look like a real painting?
Many customers say so — the fine detail and rich colour blending in this collection produce a genuinely gallery-quality result once framed. It is common for finished advanced pieces to be mistaken for original paintings.

What size works best for an advanced design?
40x50cm and 50x70cm are the most popular sizes for advanced kits, giving enough canvas space for the fine sections and layered detail to read clearly from across a room.
