Make your own art

Paint your own artwork – step by step.

You don't need a freehand sketch or previous experience. Choose a personal photo and a suitable image world – the numbered canvas gives you a clear structure while painting.

Paint your own artwork step-by-step with a personal template
  • No prior knowledge necessary
  • Numbered canvas as a clear template
  • Motif-related paints and three brushes
  • Paint at your own pace

Start light

Paint art yourself, without facing a blank canvas

Painting your own picture doesn't have to start with a freehand drawing. At Pictumira, you first decide which motif and visual effect suit you best.

The numbered canvas then divides your artwork into clear sections. You assign the appropriate colors and see step by step how your self-painted picture emerges from the template.

Your clear process

Here's how to paint your own artwork

You decide on the motif and style. The template then guides you through every single painting step.

  1. 01 · Idea

    Select a personal motive

    Use your own photo and decide whether it should remain unchanged or be stylized in an art world first.

  2. 02 · Preparation

    Define size and image effect

    Choose a format for your home and decide on the color scheme that matches your motif.

  3. 03 · Painting

    Apply color field by field

    The numbers connect canvas and colors. This allows you to focus on the peaceful painting process.

  4. 04 · Result

    Present your self-painted picture

    The end result is a personal work of art that incorporates not only your chosen motif but also your own time and effort.

Two Personal Paths

Use the photo directly or enhance it artistically first?

With the classic upload, your photo remains the immediate template. On the art page, you choose a style beforehand, such as oil painting, watercolor, or pop art. Both paths lead to a picture that you paint yourself.

Questions about your own artwork

The template gives you security. How quickly and in what stages you paint is up to you.

Can I paint a work of art myself without knowing how to draw?

Yes. You work with a numbered canvas and assigned colors. A freehand pre-drawing is not necessary for this.

How does painting by numbers help me get started?

The template divides the motif into individual color fields. This way, you know in each step which color belongs where.

Can I use my own photo as a template?

Yes. You can upload your photo directly or first edit it in one of 15 style worlds on the separate art page.

What's included in my personal set?

The set includes a numbered canvas, motif-related paints, a three-piece brush set, as well as instructions and a reference image. A frame is only included if you select the framed version.

Do I have to finish painting the picture in one day?

No. You set your own pace and can create your painting over several calm painting sessions.
