Quick answer: Artistry Rack carries kits inspired by more than forty painters — from Klimt's gold and Van Gogh's swirls to Kahlo's symbolism, Hokusai's waves and Rothko's color fields. Every kit is an original design in that artist's visual language (not a reproduction), and they all ship the same way: numbered 40cm x 50cm canvas, matched acrylics, three brushes, instructions. Start at the Artists hub.
Painting in the style of a master is the fastest art-history lesson there is — an evening inside someone else's way of seeing. This is the tour of our artist-inspired collections, grouped by mood, so you can pick the era that matches your wall.
The golden ones (start here — everyone else does)
The Gustav Klimt collection is our most-ordered artist line by a wide margin — seven designs of glowing forests, gilded florals and ornamental pattern. We wrote it its own deep-dive with the full sales ranking. If you like Klimt's decorative language, the Alphonse Mucha collection — Art Nouveau's other great ornamentalist — is the natural second canvas.
The Post-Impressionist crowd-pleasers
Vincent van Gogh — swirling skies and bold strokes that translate beautifully into numbered sections — sits beside Claude Monet's soft gardens and water, Cézanne's structured still lifes, Seurat (pointillism was basically proto-paint-by-dots) and Degas' dancers. This is the shelf for classic-beautiful walls.
The bold and symbolic
Frida Kahlo-inspired designs bring lush florals and fierce color — the Mystical Garden kit is a store best seller. Nearby: Munch's moody expressionism, Goya's drama, and Dalí for the surreal-minded.
The pattern and geometry lovers
If crisp shapes relax you, this is your aisle: Kandinsky's musical geometry, Miró's playful floating forms, Malevich's stark shapes, Klee's color grids, Escher's impossible constructions and Rothko's glowing color fields — the most meditative fill of all. (Why pattern designs suit beginners is covered in our abstract guide.)
The masters' masters
For classical gravitas: Leonardo da Vinci (fittingly — numbered canvases for apprentices were reportedly his idea five centuries ago; see the history of paint by numbers), plus Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Caravaggio, Raphael and Velázquez.
East, street and beyond
Hokusai and Hiroshige bring Japanese woodblock serenity; Zhao Mengfu classical Chinese brushwork; Kusama dots for days. On the modern-street end: Basquiat, Banksy and Pollock. Canada's Group of Seven — Lawren Harris, Emily Carr, A.Y. Jackson and peers — round out the landscape wing.
Which artist for which painter?
- First canvas ever: Klimt or Monet — generous sections, guaranteed-gorgeous result.
- Patient detail lover: Escher, Kusama or Seurat.
- Fast, bold satisfaction: Rothko, Malevich or Basquiat.
- The giftable one: Klimt, every time — see the gift guide.
To be precise about what you're buying: these are original designs inspired by each artist's style and palette — homages, not reproductions of specific paintings.
