Laser Engraved Canvas | Paint-by-numbers | DIY Oil Painting

Today, we are laser engraving a canvas with a colour by numbers design.

We use our Speedy 360 laser engraving machine to engrave a blank canvas with paint by numbers designs that we found online.

A great application for any schools, promotional companies selling children's toys, arts and crafts suppliers, fablabs or makerspaces.

Materials required:

• Canvas board
• Colour-by-numbers image

Laser used:

• Speedy 360, 100W
• 1.5" lens

***ARTWORK ATTACHED***

Download the image you want to use and convert it to black and white. Consider getting a design that has a colour key to guide you. Put the canvas in the Speedy 360 and send the image to the laser with the following settings:

Engraving
Power: 40, Speed: 100, Z-Offset: 0.03

With the Speedy 360, the laser power is efficiently regulated. These settings should scorch one side of the canvas, but not cut through to the other side.

After engraving, you can now paint your image. Follow the colour guide or get creative and mix your own colours!
