A Painting Pieces collaborative mural is surprisingly simple to create — and even simpler to do well. The process is easy to facilitate, yet it generates a truly beautiful, one-of-a-kind final piece every time.

Every Painting Pieces design comes with a unique color key. Our artist carefully assigns paint colors for every piece of your puzzle so you can create with confidence, knowing the final result will be a cohesive work of art you’ll want to display indefinitely.
