ABOUT THE KITS

What is included in a Plan Art Kit?

Each kit is curated around one of our unique art styles, meaning the contents are chosen to help you create a piece in that particular aesthetic and varies depending on the style you choose. That said, the core of every kit is the same:

 

  • Inner and edge frame
  • Raw fabric canvas
  • Staple gun and staples
  • Staple gun practice piece
  • Canvas practice pieces
  • Paint palette
  • Protective sheet
  • Acrylic paints
  • Brushes
  • Palette knife

 

And of course, every kit includes access to our full Digital Art Guide: an e-guide with style breakdowns, painting tips, tutorials, curated playlists, and everything you need to start creating.

Is the staple gun safe to use?

The 3-in-1 staple gun included is safe to use, but please note it's a powerful tool and should only be used by adults.

 

Within the e-guide that comes with your kit you will find a tutorial on the best practice of use.

Are the kits suitable for beginners?

Yes, you don’t need art experience. That said, our kits are not designed for children. We recommend them for adults only, due to the construction process involved. If you’re new to making art or building frames, our e-guide will walk you through everything.

Do I need to follow a specific painting style?

No! The styles are there to inspire, not to restrict. They’re starting points that you can follow closely, or take in your own direction. There’s no right way to do this.

What if I mess up? Can I start over?

We get it, that blank canvas can be intimidating. You only get one stretched canvas in the kit, so technically, no, you can’t fully start from scratch.

 

We include canvas practice pieces so you can test out designs, colours, and ideas before you begin. But once you’re on the real thing… go for it. Feel it out, let it happen.

 

And if you really think you have messed up? Paint over it. Layer on top. Let the “mistake” be part of the story. That’s the beauty of art.

How long does it take to complete a kit?

There’s no set timeline, and there’s no rush. Some people finish in one sitting, others take days or even weeks.

 

If it’s your first time, building the frame and stretching the canvas might take up to an hour, but after that it’s entirely up to you. You might want to let paint layers dry in between, or pause and come back with fresh eyes. This isn’t just about the final piece. It’s about slowing down and enjoying the process.

Are your kits reusable?

Not exactly. They’re designed to help you create one complete, gallery-worthy piece. But tools, protective sheet, leftover paint or pastels? Absolutely fair game for future projects.

MATERIALS & QUALITY

What kind of paint and canvas do you use?

We use Sennelier abstract acrylic paints, richly pigmented and beautifully blend-able. Our canvases are either raw cotton or raw linen, depending on the style you choose.

What sizes are available?

30 x 40 cm – Available for most styles.

50 x 70 cm – Available for most styles.

 

Each kit lists the available size(s) on the product page.

Do your canvases come primed with gesso?

Our canvases come unprimed, on purpose. We love the texture and unpredictability of raw fabric. It lets the paint behave differently and gives each mark more character.


If you do want to prime your canvas, you absolutely can. Gesso can be applied before or after stretching, depending on what feels easiest for you.

Who makes your frames?

Our frames are custom-designed and handcrafted by a skilled maker in Edinburgh. They’re made using European plywood and redwood, carefully crafted for both form and function.

Is your packaging plastic-free?

Yes. Our materials are recyclable and reusable where possible, without compromising on protection.

CREATIVE SUPPORT

What if I don't know how to start?

You’re not alone, that’s exactly why we created Plan.


Every kit includes access to our e-guide, which gives you tips, tutorials, and gentle guidance to help you begin. You’ll also find inspiration across our website, Instagram, Pinterest, and other socials. Wherever you like to browse, we’ll be there with ideas to spark your creativity.

 

Starting is the hardest part. But once you do, you’re already creating.

Will I get step-by-step instructions?

Sort of. But not like paint-by-numbers.


We guide you through building your frame and stretching the canvas, then introduce you to the aesthetic and techniques behind your chosen style. But how you interpret it? That’s up to you.

Can I see examples of finished artworks?

Yes! You will find inspiration across all our socials, our website and e-guide.


We also share real creations from the Plan community, and no two ever look the same. That’s the beauty of it. Every piece is personal.

GIFTING

Can I send a kit as a gift?

Absolutely! Just enter the recipient’s shipping address at checkout.

Will pricing be included in the box?

No, we don’t include any pricing or receipts inside the box. It’s gift-ready.

Do you offer gift messages or cards?

You can leave a message in your order notes at checkout, and we’ll include it as a handwritten note inside the kit!
