Our Story

How we began

We’re two siblings from Melbourne who wanted a hobby we could pick up at home after a busy day. We tried a few things, but painting was the one we kept coming back to. We could sit down for twenty minutes, fill in a few colours and leave the rest for another evening.

When we shared it with friends and family, we kept hearing the same thing. They liked the idea of painting, but they didn’t know where to start. That’s what gave us the idea for Paint By Numbers Australia.

Making it easier to paint

We worked with suppliers to create kits we’d be happy to give a friend who’d never picked up a paintbrush. Each kit comes with a numbered canvas, matching paints and brushes, so once you’ve chosen a design, you can sit down and start painting.

You might spend a Sunday afternoon on it, or do a little after dinner each night. That’s what we liked about painting in the first place. It was something we could fit into the day and look forward to coming back to.

The paintings you make

One of our favourite parts of running this business is hearing from people who’ve found a new hobby through our kits. We love seeing what you paint, especially when someone tells us it’s the first piece of art they’ve made for their own home.

If you’re choosing your first kit, start with a design you’d love to see on your wall. We’ll help you find one that suits the way you want to paint.
