Here's what's inside every Escape by Numbers box, and how it works.

Paint that Actually Covers

36 Paint Pots
Enough detail to feel rich, not enough to feel like homework. Smooth acrylic that goes on even and stays vibrant after it dries.

Each paint pot has a number. Find that number on the canvas and fill it in. Then watch your painting come to life.

6 -Detail-ready brushes.

2x the Brushes
Double what other kits include — so when one wears out, you're not painting with a frayed tip. Sturdy enough to still feel new on your next canvas.

Switching colors? Wipe your brush on a wet napkin first, so the new color stays clean. Painted over a number by mistake? The reference sheet shows you right where it goes.

Real Cotton & Linen Canvas

Pre-Tinted Numbered Canvas
Lightly pre-colored, so you're never staring at a blank white canvas wondering if you'll finish. Real canvas grip and texture — not thin plastic sheet.

You can't mess this up. Wrong spot? Just paint over it with the right color. The light printed lines keep you on track the whole way.

"My girlfriend got me this as a joke because I'm the least artistic person alive. It's like meditation but you actually have something to show for it. It's in my office now and people ask where I got the painting."

Diana S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Something quiet to come home to. Now my partner and I paint together on our days off"

Matilda L. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I sat with it for three hours and didn't touch my phone once, which hasn't happened in I don't know how long. It's above my bed now."

Im Leah, the founder of Escape by Numbers.

I've always looked for an escape from stress, and painting was the one thing that gave me it. Only problem? I was never any good at it. So I found paint by numbers. But every kit made it harder than it should be: never enough paint, colors so watery you'd need three coats, one cheap brush, and a canvas that never turned out like the one on the box. So I fixed all of it. Enough paint that won't run dry, colors that cover the first time, brushes that reach the tiny sections, and a finished piece that actually looks like the art you fell for. My favorite paintings are in the Destinations collection — every one lets me imagine a place I want to visit, or paint a memory from somewhere I've already been. That's the whole point. Its my time to slow down, unplug, and end up with a beautiful painting on my wall with no experience needed!

The History Behind Paint by Numbers

Leonardo da Vinci invented it. He used to hand pre-numbered canvases to his apprentices so they could fill in sections while he focused on the harder parts.

That's where paint by numbers came from - eventually. In 1951, a commercial artist named Dan Robbins took the idea, packaged it for regular people, and launched the first kit out of Detroit. Critics called it an insult to real art. By 1954, Americans had bought 12 million of them.

Even Eisenhower's staff was painting them in the White House.

Seventy-five years later, it still does what it was built to do - turning anyone with a brush into someone who made the art on their wall.
