    Photo Guidelines

    Choosing a suitable photograph is the first step in having the best experience possible with Easy123Art personalized photo products. The quality of your photo determines the final result of the painting, so it’s important to choose a suitable image to achieve a quality result. Here are some general guidelines:

    • Choose a clear, crisp photo with contrast between subjects and background

    • Close-up images, face only or head/shoulders work best

    • Mini kits are best with photos of only 1 subject, face only

    • Classic kits, choose close-up photos with 1 or 2 people

    • Big Kits work well with images of many subjects and details

    • Main subject(s) within your photograph should be 2/3 the size of the entire image

    • No images that are overexposed with too much light, or not enough light or blurry.

    Edit Requests may be requested in the ‘Notes’ space provided at checkout. Examples of reasonable edit requests are changing the background color or removing image details. For the most part, simple edit requests are permitted.

    Original, printed photographs and mail orders are no longer accepted for processing. If you have an original photograph, convert the original to a digital image by taking a photo of the original with a mobile phone or digital camera.

    File Upload Requirements

    You can drag a photo into the image upload box or select 'browse' to search for a file. File size requirements are important to follow to prevent upload errors. The maximum file size for uploads is 10MB; if your image exceeds this requirement, resize the image before uploading. Also important is file type, and the allowed file types are: jpg|jpeg|jpe, gif, png, bmp, tif. If your file is any other file type than one of the allowed types, you will need to resave the image as one of the allowed file types before uploading.

    If you have followed the file requirements and cannot seem to successfully upload your image, the cause may be a slow internet connection speed, which may trigger a file upload timeout. If this is the case, you will need to seek a better internet connection or further reduce the file size. Also, an outdated browser may present an issue, so be sure your browser is updated to the latest version or try a different browser altogether. For help with resolving an upload issue, you may submit a message: Contact Us.

    Acrylic Paints

    Acrylic paint quality may diminish after 1 year of non-use. Preserve unused paint sets in a temperate location with caps secured. Paint will dry and harden if left open for several hours. In this case, add warm water to improve consistency. If paints are solid or have a grainy consistency, it is possible the paints have frozen. It may be possible to restore frozen paints to original consistency by allowing the paint to thaw and stir thoroughly.

    Simple & Detailed Patterns

    You can customize your paint by number outline pattern according to the detail level you prefer. Regardless of the pattern style you choose, it’s important to use good lighting and a magnifying tool can be helpful. Simple patterns have minimal detail and are an abstract impression of your photograph with minimal shading. Detailed patterns include fine details for a portrait quality result, may be challenging and time-intensive due to pattern complexity. Most popular pattern is detailed for a realistic result.

    Painting Tips

    Before you begin, it may be important for you to create a reference guide. This can easily be achieved by taking a picture of the outline before you begin to paint.

    It’s a good idea to start with the small spaces and work your way to larger spaces to avoid missing fine details.

    Keep in mind, there is only one number for each space.

    Focus on the most important subjects. Pay close attention to painting the details within the main subject according to the outline. The background details may be less important to the final appearance of the portrait.

    Rinse your brush thoroughly when changing colors to prevent color mixing.

    For blending tips and other techniques, read more in the article Tips & Techniques.
