JATOK paint-by-numbers kit, 40 × 50 cm

Key specifications

For a quiet evening project or a bit of colour to work on between other plans, this JATOK paint-by-numbers kit turns a hydrangea image into a step-by-step painting task. The canvas is colour-coded and numbered, and the set comes with acrylic paints and three brushes, so you can work through the marked areas without having to plan the picture from scratch. It is aimed at beginners as well as more experienced hobby painters. One detail worth sorting out before choosing: the listing gives more than one canvas size.

The supplied information describes the painting area as 40 × 50 cm, while the product name says 16 × 20 in and another line refers to a 12 × 16 in kit. Those measurements do not agree, so check the exact size for the version being offered rather than assuming they describe the same canvas. The canvas is rolled and unframed, there is no stated frame or stretcher included.

Who it’s for

This suits someone who enjoys a guided craft project and wants to follow numbered sections instead of drawing and mixing a composition from the beginning. For example, you could work through a few flower or leaf areas at a time, then use the colour postcard and numbered paper copy as references when returning to the canvas later. The colour canvas is intended to make the blocks easier to distinguish, which may be useful when you are getting used to this style of painting.

It may suit you if you want a hands-on activity with a clear visual guide, or a finished floral image to display once complete. It won’t suit you if you want a ready-to-hang picture, a framed canvas, or a fully open-ended painting experience, this is a numbered project, and the canvas arrives unframed. The listing mentions wall-mounted hooks and screws, but doesn’t explain how they are used with the rolled canvas.

What’s included

The kit lists one rolled colour canvas, a set of acrylic paints, three nylon brushes, two wall-mounted hooks and screws, a colour postcard guide, and a paper copy of the numbered canvas for reference. The paint is described as large-capacity, but no volume or colour count is provided. That makes it hard to judge how much paint is supplied for touch-ups or future use, so don’t assume there will be extra beyond what the project requires.

Three practical questions

Does it include a frame? No frame is listed. The canvas is described as rolled and unframed.

Are there reference materials? Yes. The set lists both a colour postcard guide and a paper copy of the numbered canvas.

What size is the canvas? The listing is inconsistent: it gives 40 × 50 cm, 16 × 20 in, and 12 × 16 in in different places. Confirm the size for the specific kit before ordering.

Final verdict

Choose this kit if the appeal is a guided hydrangea painting, with the paints, brushes and reference materials gathered in one set. It offers a more structured starting point than buying a blank canvas and designing the image yourself, but the numbered format also leaves less room for improvisation. The conflicting size details are the main reason to pause: if the canvas dimensions matter for your workspace or display plans, get that clarified first. For someone happy to paint by numbers and source framing separately, the included materials make the project straightforward to understand, for a framed or size-confirmed artwork, this listing leaves an important question open.
