Gift sets for artists

Gift sets for artists — a painting from your photo with brushes, easel and varnish

A gift set is a paint-by-numbers canvas made from your photograph, plus everything needed to work on it, packed into one box. The real present here is not the canvas but the chance it gives: someone receives their own photo turned into a painting, and several evenings of work that end with a finished piece for the wall.

Four levels of set

For beginners — a 30x40 cm canvas with up to 30 colours, a card, a stand and a gift box. For the amateur — 40x60 cm with up to 50 colours, a tabletop easel, a card, a box and a tube of dammar varnish. For the skilled — 60x90 cm with up to 70 colours, a tabletop easel, an automatic paint dropper and professional aerosol varnish. Interior — a large format from 80x90 up to 120x200 cm on primed canvas, professional brushes, an artist's apron and varnish. The larger the set, the deeper the discount against buying the items separately: from 10 to 25 per cent.

If you cannot decide

There is a gift certificate — the recipient chooses the subject, the size and everything else themselves. That is the way out when there is no suitable photograph, or when you are giving to someone whose taste in decoration you cannot predict. If you do have a photo but are unsure of its quality, send it over: we will look and tell you honestly whether it will make a painting at the size you want.

Timing, delivery and payment

Production starts once the layout is agreed and takes one to two days; there is also a rush service that makes the painting in two hours, ahead of the queue. Courier within Moscow from 850 RUB, beyond the ring road from 1,550 RUB; free from 15,000 RUB inside the ring road. Large canvases from 90x130 ship at the freight carrier's rate and are paid separately. Collection near Park Kultury metro is available. Payment online by card, instant transfer, in instalments via Podeli, or by bank details for companies.
