How It Works
You Don't Have To Be An Artist
Most people who buy this have never picked up a brush. The video does the heavy lifting. Just bring yourself and get ready to be creative.
Your Kit Shows Up
Delivers in 2 to 5 business days from our Chicago warehouse. Video access unlocks the moment you order, so you can watch while you wait.
Press Play And Paint Along
A real artist walks you through every stroke. Pause when you need to. Rewind if you missed something. Nobody's grading you, and nobody's watching.
Hang Something You Painted
You've completed your masterpiece. People will ask where you got it. You'll get to tell them you painted it yourself. And you'll probably want to start the next one before this one's dry.

Fun Painting, Engaging teacher
I really loved the colors and mood of this painting. The teacher had so many great tips, and she was painting from her personal experience of having lived in the desert. It was the perfect addition to my home to bring a warm, summer vibe.

Perfect!
Thank you to the instructor for making art so accessible, fun, and rewarding. We loved painting together and are already deciding what to paint next!

Such a fun time
We had another couple over and had a fun night painting together. It was easier to pause the video because it allowed those of us who paint slower to catch up.

Can I really create my own painting?
Yes, our tutorials are designed for beginners with no painting experience needed. Our artists will guide you from a blank canvas to the finished painting each step of the way. We don't use pre-drawn canvases because we want you to get the full painting experience. If you're unhappy with the kit for any reason, email customersupport@paintingtogogh.com within 60 days and we'll make it right.
Can I gift it?
Yes. Add a gift note when you add the kit to your cart, and we'll hide pricing in the box. You'll get tutorial access by email after ordering. Forward that email to the recipient when the kit arrives.

What's the difference between the kit types?
Studio Kit comes with everything you need to paint, including an aluminum tabletop easel. Best for first-timers. Essentials Kit has the same supplies minus the easel; pick this if you already have one or plan to set up on a flat surface. Refill Kit is for returning customers who already have an easel and brushes (canvas and paints only). Video Only gives you tutorial access without the physical kit, perfect if you have your own supplies.

Yes. The acrylic paints we ship are non-toxic and water-soluble. Washes off skin with soap and water, and off your countertop with a damp cloth.
