INITIAL IMPRESSIONSWhile the kit provided basic brushes and paint, I found the painting process both challenging and engaging. It reminded me of an advanced adult coloring book that required patience and attention to detail.KIT CONTENTSThe set came with essential painting materials, though I supplemented the initial brushes with additional tools to enhance my painting technique.OVERALL EXPERIENCEDespite the initial difficulty, the end result was truly spectacular. I thoroughly enjoyed the creative journey and felt a great sense of accomplishment upon completing the painting.RECOMMENDATIONFor those who enjoy detailed, immersive art projects, this paint by numbers kit offers a rewarding and enjoyable experience that results in a beautiful finished artwork.

This was my first ever paint-by-numbers (PBN?) kit and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Canvas is high quality and it was so much fun to do. Here are some tips and tricks that might help somebody out there:(1) - It arrived folded/creased but it was quite easy to iron out. I'd recommend to flip it over, and iron the back of the canvas with your iron on low. After a few passes, the creases should smooth out. I also pinned it onto a wood frame before starting. Pinning it helped to further stretch the canvas, which allowed the paint to go on smoothly without the canvas bunching up.(2) - I chose to paint an image from my wedding, which in retrospect was probably not a good idea.. and here's why. My image contained very light colors - pure white, pale peach and pinks. Even though I went over the areas with many layers of paint, the numbers are still visible up close. (As you can see in my photo attached.) However, far away no one can see the numbers. Later on I discovered that going over the numbers with correction/wite out tape first, really helped.(3) - I read many reviews where people recommended to start painting the darker colors first. This helps in most situations, but for me it was better to paint the larger areas first. I had to paint flowers with tiny details and it was just better to paint these last - despite some of the colors being darker than the rest of the painting.(4) - I thought this was something I could complete in a whole day or two, but boy was I wrong. I painted for 2-3 hours a day for a little over a week. It probably could've been finished in a few days, but my hands and wrists were so sore that I had to stop and wait for the next day. At one point I had to take a day off because my wrists still felt stiff. So my biggest tip is -- TAKE BREAKS! When I got tired, I found myself not caring for painting the details properly.All in all, this was an extremely fun project to do. I made a few mistakes, but I am still so happy about it. I hang it proudly in my home and smile everyday when I see it.About to order my second kit and I am so excited for it!

Definitely will do less color next time and the print came out quite pinky colors but it’s great I love it

Cons: Apparently, an actual human doesn’t check the items before theyre shipped. The skin colors are all shades of pink- like Easter egg pinks. Cartoon characters at best; definitely not anywhere close to skin colors. Checked against the pic I sent- 90% of the colors are way off. Considering both canvases arrived late (not USPS fault) its too close to Christmas for me to do anything except trash them or try to match the colors myself. Canvases are VERY VERY thin & not good quality. When I steamed out the wrinkles (they ship them rolled) I was afraid it was going to tear. Most of the paints are a decent quality except for black. Its like painting with cheap liquid eyeliner. There are details that have no color at all. For ex, my Nan’s jewelry. So I will have to figure that out too. There are details on the canvas that are different from the photo- buttons missing, neckline of top completely different. They have me using purple & pumpkin orange for auburn hair. I could go on but you get the gist. I have ordered these in the past & did not have these issues (diff company). My brother & Nan passed this year & this was supposed to be family gifts. It would be disrespectful for me to gift these as is.Pro: If you need to waste your time & money, its perfect. If not- I recommend choosing a different company or doing it yourself.

The media could not be loaded. The paint is a good thickness and is easy to apply to the canvas, but some of the lighter colors don't full cover the lines and number's but that's only noticeable in person and up close. Some of the colors are lighter than the original photo but still turned out very nice.The canvas feels high quality and durable. It came rolled up around a piece of foam which kept it unwrinkled and ready to use right away.Some of the sections were very small or looked disconnected on the canvas, but a slightly enlarged print out of the guidelines and numbers helped to understand which color went were.Overall this is a good product for a great price point. I personally didn't get the set with the frame.

Great painting website . Colors were perfect and painting was clearly marked

The kit is awesome! Paints are moist and well numbered.
