Avoid common mistakes

- Photo is too blurry: Important outlines and details get lost.
- Too many people or objects: The design becomes unnecessarily complex and crowded.
- Wrong size selection: Very detailed images usually need a larger canvas size.
- Not enough contrast: Flat-looking photos often appear less vivid later on.
- Rushing the process: Careful painting makes a noticeable difference, especially with fine details.
FAQ about paint by numbers custom
