Paint a landscape. Discover an eye. Follow a reflection into a hidden world. Each kit offers its own way of seeing.
Art. Colour. A little uncertainty.
More than meets the eye.
The pleasure is in making it. The surprise is in seeing it differently.
These optical illusion painting kits bring the studio’s work in perception into your own hands. Follow the numbered areas, build the image in colour, then take another look.
Not every illusion works the same way. A second image can emerge as you step back; a mirror can turn a distorted painting into a recognisable form. That mirror technique is anamorphosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is optical illusion paint by numbers?
It is a numbered painting kit based on an artwork that plays with perception. As you paint, you recreate an image with more than one way of being seen: a hidden form may emerge at a distance, or a distorted image may resolve in a mirror.
Does every kit use a mirror?
No. The collection includes different kinds of optical illusion. The Jungle Secret uses cylinder anamorphosis, while I See and The Watcher Tree explore hidden images. Check each artwork page for the technique and contents of that kit.
Can I buy or pre-order every kit?
Only kits currently marked for sale are open for buying or pre-ordering. Pre-orders use a 10% deposit. Other kits show their current release status and link to the artwork page for further details.
Where can I check the kit contents and size?
Open the individual artwork page for its materials, dimensions and kit details. Contents differ between works; contact the studio if you need to confirm anything before ordering.
Are there members’ prices?
Yes. Sentient Circle members use the members’ price shown for each kit. The public price and members’ price come from the studio catalogue, with free shipping.
