Please note that if you receive your painting and are not happy, you can return this for a full refund, providing it is in it's original condition once we receive this.

If this happens, we are truly sorry. Please email us at support@paintplot.com.au and tell us your order number and what the issue is.

We will take care of you and cover all costs of getting you the right item. We will send you a new one and pay for your shipping to send that one back to us. We are human and do make mistakes. We will make sure to correct the issue as soon as possible!

Orders are processed very quickly to ensure the fastest delivery possible. Because of this, an order usually cannot be changed or cancelled once it has been submitted. Please be sure to check all the information very carefully before placing your order. If you discover a mistake, please contact us and let us know as soon as possible via email support@paintplot.com.au

The shipping address for orders that are already on their way to you, cannot be changed by our fulfilment team. What you can do is contact Australia Post, to see if they can re-route this to you. Please note that if a package is returned to us due to an incorrect shipping address or changed address that has been entered during the checkout, there may be an additional postage fee for us to send this to you. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do from our end once the package has left our warehouse and is in transit.

Our warehouse located in Australia means that for domestic orders, you should expect to receive your Paint Plot paint by numbers kit within 2 - 7 business days.

For some items, we will make your product to order. In this case, designs are made from our manufacturing facility and shipped directly to you. This allows us to offer a broader variety of paintings and means that we can release more new art, more often; which has been a common request for our community.

In this case, it can take up to 5 business days to create your custom paint by number print and up to 7 business days for shipping.

If you have any questions, please email us at support@paintplot.com.au Our team is here to help.

Paint by Numbers is easy, relaxing and fun. You will receive your Paint Plot Australia box with everything you need inside to create the perfect painting every time.

Inside the box you will find your canvas, which has a grid pattern, with numbers that match the numbers on your paint tub. Some artists choose to paint the numbers one at the time and some choose to start in the corner (top left for example) and paint their way down the canvas - it's up to you!

In your Paint Plot Australia kit, you will also find paint brushes, a small image of your selected photo to use as a guide and a frame if you selected one at the checkout.

Most artists would say that you should stretch the painting before you paint it. I, personally, prefer to stretch it after I've painted it because I like working on my painting when it's lying flat on the table. So it's completely up to you, both ways will work out nicely.

The length of time it takes to complete a Paint Plot painting will vary depending on the detail of the artwork you've selected, and the hours or time applied to working on it. 

This is a relaxing art form which can be completed quickly over a weekend or enjoyed a little at a time over a series of weeks or even months. It is totally up to each individual. 

Because the paint is water-based acrylic paint, it will dry to the touch within 10 – 15 minutes depending on the thickness of paint application. You can use a hairdryer if you want to speed up the process, or simply work on another section of the canvas while you wait for the sections you have recently painted to dry.

Please make sure that your containers are sealed at all times (apart from when you use them), otherwise they can dry up pretty quickly. Our paint is water-based acrylic paint so all you need to do to get a better consistency is to add some water to it.  We also offer Acrylic Flow Medium, which is very helpful for older paint pots. In our Art Academy we have a blog on Tips and Tricks of Flow Aid/Flow Medium

Many people in the art world still feel that oil paintings are superior or more valuable than acrylic paintings. This is likely because many great painters of the past have used oils and that oil paints have been around for centuries.

When acrylic paints were first introduced, they were inferior to the acrylics that are available today. Today’s acrylics are available in both gloss and matte varieties that can even produce the sheen associated with oil paints. Quality acrylic paints made today also carry the same pigment load as oil paints, and some manufacturers even produce both types of paints.

Acrylic paints offer a non-toxic alternative that is better for the environment as well as human health. Oil paints also tend to decay at a faster rate due to the use of organic materials, whereas acrylics are made from synthetic polymers that will last longer.
