ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Paint Me Like, a local arts‑and‑crafts company, unveiled a major upgrade to its custom paint‑by‑numbers service on September 18, 2026. The company now offers customers the ability to select portrait or landscape orientation for any of eight canvas sizes, combined with three color‑detail options and framed or unframed formats. This expansion creates 96 distinct canvas configurations, giving shoppers greater flexibility to match the shape and orientation of their original photographs.
More control over composition
According to Liz Cary, a spokesperson for Paint Me Like, the new system addresses a common frustration when turning personal photos into paint‑by‑numbers kits. “People put a lot of thought into which photo they want to paint, so we don’t think the canvas should dictate what happens to that photo,” Cary said. “A horizontal family photo and a vertical portrait have completely different compositions. Giving customers control over orientation, size and color detail lets us create the kit around their photo rather than forcing their photo into a standard format.”
Eight sizes, two orientations, three detail levels
The eight canvas dimensions range from 12 × 16 inches to 24 × 32 inches. Customers can now choose between portrait and landscape orientation, decide whether they want a framed or unframed canvas, and select one of three color palettes: 24‑color Classic, 36‑color Premium, or 48‑color Masterpiece. All photographs are human‑reviewed before production begins, ensuring that the final artwork respects the original composition.
Why the added flexibility matters
Paint Me Like’s internal review of other custom paint‑by‑numbers providers found no competitor offering the same combination of size, orientation, and color‑detail choices. The company believes the expanded options are especially valuable for photos where composition is critical, such as wedding images, family portraits, vacation snapshots, pet photos, and multi‑subject scenes. The ability to match orientation also helps customers decide where the finished painting will be displayed in their homes.
How the kits are made
Each kit is created from a photograph supplied by the customer. The kit includes a numbered canvas, acrylic paints matched to the chosen color palette, and brushes needed to complete the painting. Paint Me Like also offers custom diamond‑painting kits and pet portrait kits, further broadening its personalized‑art product line.

Based in St. Louis, Paint Me Like contributes to the city’s growing creative‑industry sector. By expanding its product offerings, the company aims to attract more regional customers seeking unique, family‑focused art projects. The company encourages interested shoppers to visit its website for ordering details and to explore its broader range of custom art kits.
