Today, most popular Paint by Numbers kits are made of cotton canvas, pre-mounted on internal wooden frame. Ready mixed acrylic (water-based) paints are used because they work well with cotton surface. Each paint colour is labelled with a number which correspond to an area on the canvas. It's important to purchase a paint by numbers kit that requires NO mixing of the paints, as mixing process can be tedious and the produced colours may not match the intended colours for the painting.
