I always avoided paint-by-numbers because I didn’t see any individuality in them. Ready to draw only a close heart.
At the same time, I know that the same pictures as the type of leisure time among the people are popular. You don’t need to be an experienced artist to work on them, plus it’s nice to do things in the virtual world and with mechanical things to do with your hands.
For custom wardrobe lovers like me, QBRIX has introduced a paint-by-numbers design that can be made from any photo.
The key difference from other sets is that You need to choose the future fabric after unpacking the set. No one expects you to decide on ideas in advance, as a custom portrait or ready-made coloring requires. And less risk to give not that.
Below we will figure out how innovation works, how long it takes to “paint” pictures, what colors it comes in, and in general how it is studied.
First, evaluate how this simple idea works.
How is this painting by numbers different from others?
QBRIX as a product class focuses on individual approach.
Kubrix sets are sold identically and do not require choosing a template or adjusting the portraits before purchasing. Moreover, each owner will have a painting from such a set that is special in its own way.
After unpacking, you need to upload a photo to the qbrix.me website, and you will draw. The algorithms offer free options in different styles, and after your choice they will generate a method that you can print out or gradually fill out online as you paint.
You can upload photos from any device with Internet access: a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, or even a helmet will do. Everything works on the web, no need to download applications.
Access to the generator is provided through an individual code inside the kit.
Unlike other products in this category, the set is universal and there is no long-term choice before purchasing. You leave the store with a set, and after unpacking you are free to choose any photo or image you will draw.
Before purchasing, you only need to decide on the shade of the future painting.
Everything is already folded into a shameless set
Three QBRIX colors
The QBRIX set is presented in three colors: ORIGINAL in black and white, VINTAGE in warm colors and color POP ART.
Each such image in the photo includes 7 shades, organically matched to each other. There’s plenty of paint in stock, there’s a whole lot of them here 35 jars five pieces per color.
The canvas of universal size 30×40 cm is located directly on the stretcher, such a convenient cover for a shelf or to hang on the wall, the mount for this is also foldable.
We will paint not with brushes, but with complete mini-stamps made of wood. They are numbered for each color and duplicated. The obvious advantage of this solution is that you don’t need to bother with water, be afraid of spilling it, and the result will not be spoiled by dirty stains.
As a result, in the set you will have:
Everything is packed in a presentable original box. With this one, you don’t even need to worry about wrapping if you decide to give it as a gift.
The same level of attention to detail and readability applies to the illustrated instructions, which are a pleasure to hold in your hands. Plus, she easily gained trust.
Convenient design generator
The instructions are accompanied by a QR code that leads to the website of a pattern generator from your photos. To access it:
1. Open the camera on your smartphone
2. Scan the QR code
3. Select Painting by numbers > Get instructions
4. Enter the unique serial number to the right of the QR code.
Also, instead of requesting a QR, you can simply go to qbrix.me.
Any photo will do, just crop it larger.
Future paintings will have a pixel art style, so a more readable image will be obtained without lights and with a small number of miscellaneous details.
You are given several options to choose from.
If you don’t like any of them, you can crop differently or simply choose another photo. The format is available both vertical and horizontal, for this there are built-in cropping tools.
Next, we confirm the future result, enter our email and receive a PDF version of the instructions.
There is also an online option that can be filled in interactively as you color the images; in my opinion, it is the most convenient. It remembers where you stopped, beautifully fills ready-made cells, allows you to switch from one block to another, and even allows you to filter “pixels” by a specific color.
The logic of painting is extremely simple
The canvas consists of 64 sectors, each with its own number and fields. You need to paint over all the cells, including the numbered ones. If a cell contains two numbers, the top indicates how many cells in the row need to be painted with that color.
This is how a full-fledged portrait in the photo gradually grows from abstract dots before your eyes.
The paint is applied quickly and does not leave streaks. You can forget the fear of hard gouache from childhood. It is liquid here, clings well to the carved wooden stamp and easily sticks to the canvas.
On average, one block takes 15 minutes. Creating a complete picture takes approximately 16 hoursso the pleasure can be spread over several evenings.
If several people are painting, you can speed up the process. Since the stamps and paints are duplicated in the set, you can work with four or eight hands: a company of 4 people will make a picture at a time.
The result is an illusion work that will add a catchy accent to the interior. At first it seems that this is pixel art with high detail, but look a little closer and you will be surprised that it was made by yourself.
Costs the same as a regular painting by numbers, but has more individuality
Wall mount included
The result is a new word in the picture by numbers, a unique offer. You, or the person who will receive the set as a gift, clearly haven’t seen anything like this before.

Everyone is familiar with the concept of picture by number. But you add “from your photographs” there, and the idea blossoms. It turns out to be an understandable gift with an unexpected twist.
The idea is suitable for diverse groups. I can easily see a child, a mother, a husband, and a grandmother typing on a free evening.
It intrigues with a fresh idea and attracts with an understandable process. Everything is already included in the kit, following simple instructions, painting will take longer. Such a gift will definitely not be left on the shelf.
I advise you to take it before it’s taken apart. It’s new, after all.
