The company lists more than 1,500 designs and offers custom photo kits with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee
COVINA, United States — October 22, 2026 — Number Artist announced a customer milestone of more than 450,000 purchasers for its paint-by-number kits. The company reports a catalog of more than 1,500 designs, alongside custom photo kits and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee that includes free returns when a kit is not suitable.
The milestone reflects the company’s reported customer total, rather than a count of kits shipped or paintings completed. Number Artist’s product selection includes landscapes, animals and abstract compositions. Its catalog serves both first-time participants and people who have completed multiple numbered canvases, while its custom option turns personal photographs into painting projects.
“Number Artist offers more than 1,500 designs, custom photo kits and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee,” said a company spokesperson. “The selection includes landscapes, animals and abstract pieces, with both ready-made designs and photo-based options.”
The ready-made catalog and custom service represent two distinct approaches within the company’s offering. Customers can select an existing composition or use a personal image as the basis for a numbered canvas. The satisfaction guarantee accompanies those purchasing considerations, including situations in which a kit is intended as a gift. Number Artist reports free returns within the stated 30-day guarantee period.
The announcement comes within a broader adult craft market that includes standard and personalized kits. Background pricing cited from Growth Market Reports places adult kits generally between $15 and $52 and custom photo kits between $40 and $120. Those figures describe category-level ranges rather than Number Artist’s prices and do not establish the cost of any particular kit in its catalog.
The hobby’s history extends back to Detroit in 1949, when Max Klein and commercial artist Dan Robbins developed the numbered-canvas concept. Kits went on sale in 1950, and roughly 12 million had sold by 1954. The Smithsonian’s Paint By Number collection documents those Detroit origins, connecting the contemporary craft category with its midcentury beginnings.
The Michigan context in the announcement’s background also includes Detroit’s art scene and accounts of painting parties at home during the pandemic. Those accounts describe individual art practice and social painting activities, providing a setting for the hobby beyond a single finished canvas. Number Artist’s announcement centers on its customer count, existing design catalog and personalization service.
Arts participation has also been examined in a June 2025 survey by the University of Western Australia involving nearly 700 people and a 2025 systematic review published in SSM Population Health. The survey and review addressed different populations, with the latter focused on adolescents rather than adult hobbyists. Neither is presented as an evaluation of Number Artist’s products or customer results.
