Artist-led

Paintcha pieces begin with a South African artist’s design. Their drawings, colours, vibe, and details are hand-sculpted into artwork for you to paint yourself.

Tactile by nature

Paintcha is made for hands, not just eyes. Each hand-carved item features raised details and textured surfaces that invite
you to slow down and enjoy every brushstroke.

Made to keep

A square paint-by-numbers planter decorated with a colorful desert floral and meercat illustration, filled with green succulents, displayed on a wooden table with paint supplies nearby.

Once complete, your Paintcha piece becomes a personal artwork to display, gift or keep — something handmade by you together with the artist who designed it.

Thoughtful materials

Paintcha products are made in small batches using a base of recycled plastic collected from rivers and beaches in South Africa. Both a creative story and a sustainable one.

Every piece begins as a collaboration with South African artists — a sketch, a conversation, an exchange of ideas.
This becomes a limited batch paint-by-numbers artwork you can proudly make your own.

Hand-designed, hand-sculpted, and hand-painted by you.

Choose creativity that feels different: thoughtful, textured and tactile, proudly rooted in South Africa.

Frequently asked questions

What is Paintcha?

Paintcha is a beginner-friendly, sculpted, artist-led paint-by-numbers kit. Each piece is created in collaboration with a South African artist, then sculpted into a textured, numbered artwork for you to paint, then display, gift or keep. A relaxing, creative activity with adults in mind.

Is it a paint-by-numbers kit?

Yes, Paintcha is a guided-by-numbers activity, but with a more sculptural and design-led feel. You follow the artwork step by step, while still creating a finished piece that feels personal to you.

Do I need to be artistic?

Not at all. Paintcha is made for guided, pressure-free creativity. You do not need painting experience, but you do need to embrace a challenge — just a little time, a comfortable space, and the willingness to enjoy the process.

What is in the kit?

Each Paintcha kit includes your sculpted art piece, the paints needed to complete the design, paintbrushes, and step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process.

How long does it take to complete?

It depends on your pace and the design you choose. Some people may finish their artwork in a long afternoon, while others may enjoy it slowly over a few days. If you are painting in one sitting, we suggest allowing around 6–8 hours. If you prefer completing it over a few days, make sure to close your paints properly to prevent them from drying out.

Can I gift Paintcha?

Paintcha is a very thoughtful gift for someone needing to unwind while enjoying the therapeutic process of colour, creativity, texture, and making something by hand. It is an artwork they can proudly display long after the moment has passed.

We ship nationwide, which makes direct gifting convenient. Each product is packed in our bespoke eco-conscious packaging, making it a hassle-free, thoughtful surprise.
