Abstract Paint by Numbers
Discover abstract paint by numbers designs built around colour, rhythm and shape. Flowing lines, mineral-like patterns and layered compositions offer different ways to create a painting without a single literal subject.
Choose an abstract design with the right amount of detail
Look at the size and arrangement of the painted areas as well as the palette. Broad colour fields feel different to many small adjoining shapes. An abstract subject can still be intricate, so judge the close-up artwork rather than assuming it will be simple.
For a room, choose a palette that echoes an existing colour or makes the painting a focal point. Compare the canvas proportions too: a tall composition and a wide sweep of colour have very different visual effects.

Frequently asked questions
Are abstract paint by numbers kits easy?
Not necessarily. The size and number of painted areas matter more than the subject. Look at the close-up image and canvas dimensions before choosing.
What makes a painting abstract?
An abstract composition emphasises colour and shape rather than a literal scene, although its forms may suggest flowers, flowing water or minerals.
