What Makes a Good Number Painting

Number painting works best when the source picture has areas that are genuinely distinct from one another. A dog against grass, a face lit from one side, a building against sky — these give the generator clean boundaries to draw around.

What does not work is anything where the subject and background share tones. A grey cat on a grey sofa produces regions that wander between the two, and the finished painting reads as a single mass. If your picture is like that, crop tighter on the subject before generating.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a number painting?

It is a painting laid out as a plan: the image is divided into areas, each area is given a number, and each number corresponds to one specific colour. You fill in every area with its numbered colour and the picture appears. It removes the need to judge colour or draw, which is why people with no painting background can finish one.

How long does a number painting take?

Most people spend between ten and twenty hours on a 40x50cm canvas, usually spread over several sittings. Smaller canvases and lower colour counts are faster because there are fewer areas to fill. It is not a single-evening activity, and most people say that is the appeal.

Can I use a photo of a person?

Yes, and portraits are among the most popular. Faces need more colours than landscapes — twenty-four or more — because skin tones shift gradually and too few colours make a face look blotchy. A well-lit head-and-shoulders shot works far better than a full-length photo taken from a distance.
