COLORWORK DIY Paint by Numbers, Canvas Oil Painting Kit for Kids & Adults, 16" W x 20" L Drawing Paintwork with Paintbrushes, Acrylic Pigment-Flying Flower

Had to purchase some magnifying glasses for some of the teeny tiny sections, but loved working on this! The mountain lake landscape is relaxing. I’m still going back and trying to smudge edges so they aren’t so blunt

I loved doing these paintings. They were super easy and a great distraction from the world. I normally would paint without the number guide but have been feeling a creativity block. These helped me still get my paint therapy without having to think much. The paint is good quality. The light color needed a couple extra coats to hide the numbers but the dark colors covered easy. The brushes are decent enough to use on all four paintings before losing their form. I liked that it cane with an extra numbers guide and a sticker with the final product as a secondary guide. I recommend and easel or big clip board like I have in the pictures. The canvas sheets come rolled up and will need a way to hold them down because they roll easy.

This is not for amateur, but has an amateur look.First off, do not expect your finished painting to look like a Van Gogh, Degas, or Monet, but this is decent enough to be displayed or gifted. It is for beginners but can be enjoyed by any painting skill level. Just remember to have patience and good eyesight lol numbers are tiny.Second, the canvas and paints aren't archival. I'm not expecting high quality pigments nor archival primed canvas under $10. But hey, if the colors remain true 20 years from now, I'll edit this post :) The brushes are ok. I like my bristles to have more spring to it. Slight stiffness. This one is too soft. The canvas came rolled up not folded. I appreciate that very much. Please continue to package it this way.Third, the acrylic paint has a matte "gouache" finish look. The paint's opacity has some transparency to it. In professional acrylic and oil, the Titanium White has high opacity. This one is transparent. Which means you need to do several layers so the numbers and lines will not be visible.Fourth, the amount of paint in each tub is substantial. In this painting, I did 4 coats. None of the paints dried up on me. Just keep it tightly closed when not in use. Best to work a number at a time, but of course, paint the way you want. The paint is very difficult to blend. It dries quick. Sure I can mix other mediums (slo-dry, glaze, molding gel, etc) to make it work or at least have a professional look to it, but I won't do it with the pigments provided. If you are a painter, you can use your own acrylic paints and do a color match. But remember, acrylics darken once it dries. And why bother going to all that trouble of color matching when you want it to be relaxing in the first place?Fifth and final, this piece I chose is an impressionistic painting. The result does have an impressionistic look BUT it is more like a block-in stage for an oil painting.I find it relaxing, a change of pace and a break from my oil painting. This piece was done in 13 hours. Picture taken and uploaded with no filters.Hope you find this helpful and do give a go.

This took me about 2 weeks to finish and it was worth it! I wish there was not as much intensional blank space on two of the pictures, I would rather have a dark paint in place of the blank space. I love how they turned out and it’s satisfying knowing I’m the one that painted them. They really round out my gallery wall.

I enjoyed this. It took me about 6 weeks to finish, because I only worked on it for 30 minutes or less most days, and skipped a few. It was pretty easy, but challenging enough to keep me engaged. Some of the colors had to be painted on pretty thick to cover the numbers, and the colors weren't exactly as pictured. Also the paint brushes it comes with aren't very good. But for this price, I'm still giving it 5 stars because the end result looks good and I enjoyed working on it. It looks quite nice on my wall. I used 16 and 20 inch stretchers. The 16s (height) were perfect, but with the 20s (length) I had to paint about a half inch extra outside the lines to avoid having a white strip showing. So I'm not sure the measurements are exact, but it turned out just fine for me.

This paint by numbers had a few major problems. The paints they gave me were no where near the same color as the picture. Much brighter and some of the brownish beige colors are more of a bright orange. The brushes provided were also terrible and the hairs started to separate from the brush where is became almost impossible to use without painting out of the lines. The painting was not outlined so the finished product looked very messy and ratchet on the edges. Most of the paint colors were also see through even when I did multiple coats so the black numbers still show in the finished product. It did not come with a magnifying glass, but the numbers were easy for me to read and fit in the designated shapes. The painting looks as pictured when finished, but I reccomend getting better detail brushes and a magnifying glass if you have trouble seeing things up close.

This is my favorite paint by numbers that I’ve done so far! There are lots of small areas, but the numbers are clear and easy to read, and the brushes have fine enough tips to maintain precision. Another great thing about this PBN was the paint thickness. Though a couple colors (especially #9) required two coats to cover the number, none required more than two. Once one or two coats were applied, all the paints were smooth and thick. Also, the final outcome of this PBN is awesome! It really looks like the product you expect. The whole process from start to finish was gratifying and relaxing. Would definitely recommend!

Super fun paint by number. The finished product is so nice! I put it above my sink in the kitchen so I can pretend I have a window. Paint was a little thick but I just added water. Had to paint over each area 2x but it helped the colors pop!! Love the outcome. Was easy to paint.
