- Paint By Numbers Kit for Adults Beginner,Adult Paint By Number Kits on Canvas Painting,Couples Painting Kit Date Night,Landscape Arts and Crafts for Adults,20x16 Inch 8481

Was looking for something to do while off work. Luckily, found these in my search. I'm embarrassed to admit that I wasn't aware of paint by numbers for adults. That being said, I after some research, I chose this one and I'm happy I did! I haven't done a paint by number since I was a child and consider myself very much a beginner, so I was a little intimidated by this one and the smaller sizes. Comes with everything needed to finish product. If you want to frame it you will need to purchase that separately. It's a fine quality canvas with decent quality paint, plenty to finish painting and than some. Brushes are great quality and sizes & are sufficient for entire painting. No need to buy additional brushes or paint, big plus for me. No need for my intimidation either, being a beginner, as this was easy enough to paint and finish at my level. Paint dries fast enough that you can move on to next color after minimal drying time without smudging. Great quality and value for the money! Loved the end result. Really enjoyed and it was surprisingly relaxing. Now, what to do with my work of art? Not sure I will frame but would look cute hanging on the wall for sure!

I bought this paint-by-numbers kit to give myself something to do besides mindlessly scrolling social media at night, and it worked. The canvas is a good size, the lines are clear, and the poppy design looks detailed without being overwhelming. Some of the numbers are tiny, so I do need a magnifying glass to see a few sections, but it’s worth it. The colors are vibrant, the finished piece looks like real wall art, and it’s just enough focus to keep my brain busy without feeling like work.

So I’m making this review midway through the painting and I will update this review with the final product once I finish. So for starters, I will say, since there are no clear reviews or full reviews on this painting yet I will be the person to tell you that you will need to devote a lot of time and patience because this is a very difficult painting and the sense that there are a ton of tiny spaces and we are painting sections in a painting that would actually be blended it done professionally. At the point that I’m making this review I have spent about 4 1/2 hours and I’m not even halfway done. Also, because of the painting that we’re doing, this is a landscape of water and clouds. I highly highly recommend going from darkest colors to light that way you are able to visually see the contrast in the photo. Not only that, but there is more dark space in this painting, then light so you will want to use your darkest colors first. I do not recommend painting this paint by numbers Kit sections. Work from darkest to lightest colors. I’ve seen some people complain about the quality of the paint, I personally do not have any issues with the paint. The paint is very thick and so I do recommend a couple droplets of water in each one and mix with a toothpick before painting but every paint by number Kit is going to need a couple of coats to get a vibrant finish. This Kit in particular will need that but also like I said earlier in the review, there are a ton of sections so you will need to take time in each color and just do those multiple coatings as you go then you don’t have to go back once you finish the painting unless you need to just to do spot details. As far as the quality of the brushes go, the little wooden brushes that came with it are not the worst brushes I’ve ever received in a paint by numbers kits. I do recommend getting your own set of detailed acrylic brushes from a Hobby lobby or Michael’s or something like that. I find that I really don’t need to use any big brushes. You will need to use small detailed brushes, the entire painting. Even at the point that I am at in completing this, the biggest sections are already done, and I had to use a detailed brush for all of it so far therefore anyone who is having trouble with coverage is probably using too big of a brush when you need to be using a detailed brush to get through all of the intricate sections appropriately. That way you have the right amount of paint on the canvas and you’re paying attention to detail as you go and then you’re not worried about spots and coverage issues later on. I would say so far I would give this paint by numbers Kit a four out of five because the sections are so tedious and small and intricate and detail that I don’t find much relaxation in this, but I do have a lot of patience and I just enjoy painting my number, so I think that the colors and the quality is very good. If you have a lot of patience like I do, you will still find this to be fun and relaxing. I just don’t think this is something for beginners. This is definitely more of an intermediate or professional paint by numbers painter so if this is your first paint by number’s kit that you’ve ever done in your life….. I would highly consider doing something a little easier first until you have the time and patience and skills to do this one appropriately. That way you’re getting the best image at the end of the day and I finished product that you can hang on your wallet and be proud of. All in all, don’t expect this painting to get done in a couple of days I would spread this project out over a few hours a day over the course of a week or two. At this point I’ve done two-3 hours for two days in a row and I will update this review once I finish with my final thoughts and the final product.

These are just as good as number paint or whatever the viral one is called. These arrive much faster, are about the same quality and lots of choices. I'd much rather get these than wait three weeks! This one is really pretty and I'm enjoying it.

*Tip for all PBN kits. Buy a pack of acrylic white paint pins. And cover each number in sections before you paint it. I do sections and in that section I color like all the 5’s and ect.* So I’ll start off with the one bad thing. Like with many paint by numbers, the picture examples are better because they are blended paintings and we are painting individual sections. And the colors were green rather than the blue in the areas of the painting. With that said the amount of paint was the best. I always add a few drops of water to each color and mix really well with a toothpick and then sometimes I add more later on. However even if you don’t you will have a ton of paint because this is the only set I’ve ever received that I didn’t worry about running out and I only had to use two of the colors that had double and that was at the main end of the painting. So I have a ton of paint left over. Two the colors were vivid and it ended up beautiful. I wish it looked more blended but if I could accomplish that I would be a professional.

The detail of the canvas picture is great! My complaint is the paint was just about dried out. The amount of time spent on trying to salvage the paint was maddening. This is not acceptable.

I love paint by numbers kits. But this one may be my favorite so far. I love how the art looks almost like watercolor. It comes with 4 brushes of varying size, and I like how the brushes are unpolished wood because it gives them more grip than the plastic or painted wood brushes I've used with other kits. I also like how they give you an extra pot of the most-often used colors so you won't run out.

I purchased this for my 84 year old mother who's addicted to doing puzzles throughout the day. This is her first time trying a paint-by-number and she LOVES IT. She has not stopped working on it since the day it arrived 2 weeks ago and normally, if she tries something and does not like it, she'll immediately put it aside to 'work on later'. But not with this. I saw a review that said the paints are difficult to open for the elderly so I was a bit hesitant, but, she's doing just fine with them with me only needing to help her open two so far. Otherwise, she does well, especially for having bad hands / joints. The lids on the paints are more of a hard rubbery / flexible material, so they truly are simple to open. The colors on this particular paint-by-number are fantastic. Value for money is wonderful, thank you. We'll be getting another one soon!

I got one for myself and my 14 yr old daughter. The colours are very strong and not watery. The canvas is lovely soft material We both enjoyed it with some music in the background.

I would definitely recommend this to beginners as well as friends and family, the pictures are big so advise measuring x
