Here's What People Had To Say

  1. Mother’s Day fun

    Bought 4 sets for the moms in our life and they loved pairing their personal masterpieces! Easy set up, easy to follow along.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. Desert Sun

    Enjoyed painting with Lori. Always something to learn from different instructors .

Are the paints safe for kids?

Yes. Our acrylic paints are made in USA, non-toxic, water-based, and safe for kids ages 8 and up. They wash off skin with soap and water (off most fabrics with a quick rinse). Apron included.

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.
