Custom Paint by Number, Personalized Paint by Numbers for Beginner, DIY Canvas Oil Painting Make Your Photo, Color Paint by Number Set Ideal Gift Choice for Family, Friends, Pets

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!

These are amazing! I just ordered number 4! Beautiful colors picture perfect fabulous gift. Easy to read generous amount of paint good quality canvas. Arrived rolled and easily lays flat. Very relaxing and addictive! It’s amazing to see the painting develop. Great tracking provided and recieved my item well within the delivery window.

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.

Was a bit disappointed at how abstract the picture turned out. Fortunately the paint quality was excellent it was easy to use. And as a painter I was able to add some detail touching to make it look perfect

Exceeded expectations ! The final print, paint color options and detail was definitely worth the price

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

I feel like I should start with how much I love the result of the painting.The reason I’ve only given three stars instead of fewer is due to that singular reason.The reason that I gave this item so few stars is the paint problems that I incurred.#1 there was not enough paint in the pots that came with the kit to fill in properly the colors that were most prominent in my picture. Before I had finished, I had ran out of seven colors. The pots themselves were not filled all the way when you open them they usually looked full, but had a huge air pocket in the middle meaning they were really only partially full.#2 when I reached out to the company, they resent the paint for my picture, but the main color that I was missing had even less paint then the first set, and now that I am done and trying to do two layers on the lighter colors, I don’t want to see the numbers or the lines that I was painting inside of in the final product, one of the lightest colored skin tones are already skimming the edges to complete this.#3 when I was already mostly completed with the image and I ran out of paint. My paint replacement was not expedited.
