Great Experience

Color & Calm paint kit was a great product I have recommended to so many family & friends. I bought the frame as well which was very easy to assemble. The canvas was personalized and so detailed. I absolutely loved working on it and my cousin cried tears of joy when I gave it to him. Thank you!!

Lovin every minute of it

We lost our dog Emitt in April, since then I have ordered 5 paint by numbers from you guys. 2 paintings of him and my husband, 2 of the dog we have now and 1 of me and my mother who has dementia, I painted her and she painted me. Thank you for the opportunity to actually paint a portrait.

Amazing and enjoyable!

I recently ordered two paint by numbers kits; one of my mother’s cat and another of mine. Both paintings were incredibly beautiful - the detail was amazing and the finished products were stunning. Great fun to paint, plenty of paint to do each painting and seeing our pets come to life on canvas was exciting! Will definitely order again and have convinced several friends to place orders of their own after they saw the results.

Delighted

We were really delighted with our paint by numbers kit of our dog, Ted, when he was a puppy. We spent a happy couple of weeks painting it and it is now framed and has pride of place in our lounge. Great.

Pretty good kits, but be careful which images you use.

Of the 3 color and calm kits I got 2 were pretty good. The thing to understand about these kits is that the more gradients that are in the source image the worse it will turn out. I would do more of these in the future, but the fact that you can't do blending presents issues if you want a more natural look.

Six pictures now completed.... more to come!

Have now ordered six pictures through C&C, everything arrived in a prompt timely fashion. The actual process of producing something that is very personal for a family member was really appreciated. (I produced a wedding picture for each of My four kids from their wedding day). A very relaxing and consuming experience as you have to focus on this and have your mind on nothing else. Summer days/nights spent in the conservatory listening to music whilst painting, with a glass of wine or two, what better way to be locked in! TOP TIP ensure your photos are well lit, preferably outside and ensure you crop them to include just the bits you want to see. I am now collating the next three to go to C&C ready for this lockdown in the UK!

I have used other companies to provide color by number painting and will go as far as to say that Color and Calm are the best. I have recommended them to my family and friends who also use them.
The detail of the picture and the color palates are spot on.
With the pandemic and lockdowns this hobby has helped me through these diffict times.

I absolutely adored painting this for a birthday gift, but sadly I was sent quite a few colors that didn’t correlate to any of the numbers, so if I was supposed to get 2252 I got 2152 which was the completely wrong color. So I had to mix my own colors which was hard and a few of the sections didn’t have numbers on them so I had to guess. It was fun, maybe my next one will be better.

Very good

Very good. Only point is that the yellow doesn't cover very well, other than that, Fab.

Thanks for the feedback - we'll take note! it's something we're always struggling to get right, the balance between numbers being dark enough to easily see when painting, but light enough to not show through too much.

We appreciate your feedback - have a wonderful rest of day!

The first painting of my dog is amazing - I’ve since done two of my grandchildren - I sent photos with faces a bit in a shade which I would avoid as the shade colours are a little strange close up but work we’ll from a bit of a distance - I would highly recommend animals and landscapes !

Really sorry your second painting wasn't as expected, but fabulous news on the first one! The color pallets can get pretty tricky - reducing a photo containing literally thousands of colors down to just 24 can mean some shading isnt picture perfect.

If you were ever unhappy with the result, just know that we're an email away and we'll do what we can to rectify the problem. (you can get to us at hello@colorandcalm.com)
