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

Loved doing this picture and adding my twist to it. Picture came out very nice.

It's nice but too complexed for me!!!

It looked a little daunting at first, but it came out beautiful! The paint has a lovely sheen and the numbers were easily readable. I will buy more of these!

I like the premise of this one because it reminds me a lot of Alaska, but the color scheme was not my style, but still great.

Have not started it yet due to having several I am currently working on. However, I peeked and it is marked clearly and the paints are a good quality. I look forward to completing it.

Pro tip: Don’t underestimate your two year old’s desire and ability to open the paints and paint all over your canvas.Well this isn’t the ideal review for me to leave because no one pro-tipped me and my two year old pretty much ruined 15+ hours of work so I never got to finish it.I saw this product on a Buzzfeed article so of course I had to try it out. I am an art major and enjoy painting. The irony of an artist doing a paint by number is not lost on me but when you have 4 kids under 4, creating something original is not really an option. I don’t have time to make mixing up paint worth the 15 minutes I have to use it.So this was great! It’s a nice mindless, calming project.Shoutout to the seller’s customer service because when I first got it some of the paints were dried and tacky and unusable. They sent me a new set of paints free of charge very promptly that were in better shape. Having good paints makes a big difference because there are a lot of little areas and tackier paint is harder to spread and fit in the little crevices. So I appreciated the new paints even though mere days later my canvas was wrecked.The brushes provided were okay but I ended up using a couple of my own brushes that would work better for smaller spaces- I needed a stiffer brush for some parts.I like that they provided a second sheet of paper identical to the canvas. That way if you painted over an area or accidentally covered a different number you could use the paper as a reference to check what color goes where.Since I didn’t finish, I can’t attest to if the quantity of paint was sufficient. It looked like maybe the colors that had bigger areas may have been close to running out since some of the colors needed a couple coats.The picture looked pretty and based on my progress in the attached pictures, I think it would have turned out great! Maybe if I get ambitious I can try to save it and paint over the mess. I just don’t have much time for that. So bummed!But I would still recommend this to people who want to paint a pretty picture and want someone else to tell them how to do it!

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.

I found the lighter colours very translucent, needing several coats to cover the indentification numbers adequately. Otherwise it was a delight to work on.

I read a review there wasn’t enough pain to finish all 4 paintings. There was plenty of paint left over.It helps to add some water or paint additives (can be found at Michael’s) the paint bushes however couldn’t last all 4 paintings. They should give 2 sets of brushes. Always fun to keep your hands and mind busy.

A bit sheer and the Colors slightly off but in end the product is beautiful and it’s always fun to do to relax. My suggestion is use a little bit of the paint at the beginning even if sheer and once everything is done you should know how much more paint you need to go over to cover the numbers and have a beautiful finish. This will help with the use of the paint so you don’t run out before covering what you need.

Good to pass the time. It comes rolled up, so I spent a day laying it out with books just to get the wrinkles out. Beware: The colours don’t really match what’s in the picture though, which is disappointing.

Some Color’s were off which made the end product look a little weird. The other review posted pictures didn’t have off Color’s so maybe I just got an off one.I plan to fix the two Color’s that were off later with different paint, which should help. Otherwise it’s a beautiful painting and I do love it!

I’m several hours into painting my project and it’s looking great. Definitely requires patience and a steady hand. The numbers are printed softly on the canvas so bright light is definitely a requirement!
