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 (Colorful With Frame, 12''x16'')

Arrived in time & appears to be really good quality! Haven’t painted it yet as it’s a gift but it looks super cute. I hope there is enough paint co complete as doesn’t look like a lot but only time will tell. My one regret was not ordering it framed so I had to order that seperate, it was easy to put together but in the future; if I order another I would order it as a set to avoid that.

Turned out nice. The colors were a little off but overall was great

What a great idea! I was really impressed with the selection of paint colors and especially that there was enough paint provided for the entire picture. I did mine as a gift and the recipient loved it. Well worth the cost. I did have to take it to an art store to have it stretched but it turned out great.

This is my very first paint by number and I had so much fun doing it! The end product turned out great! A few things I’ve learned during the process and why I’m giving a 4/5. Cons: -The canvas comes folded in a small square so there are several creases (1 horizontal and 3 vertical) when unfolded. As a rookie and excited to get started, I thought the lines would come out over time if I kept it flat so immediately started to paint it. For those like me who didn’t know, the creases do not come out on their own over time when laying flat. TIP now that I know, do some research first and remove crease prior to painting! I wish the company would just avoid this problem by sending the canvas rolled up. -One of the paint colors were noticeably wrong. I contacted the company and they did right and sent a replacement color so I give them credit there. -This company doesn’t send a small version of the blank numbered image that now I’ve learned some other companies do. They just send the digital version of what painting will look like with numbered colors. Thankfully I took a picture of the blank canvas when I first received it. I highly recommend this as I personally had to referred back to it many times. Pros: -I’m very happy with painting process. Nearly all the numbers were easily read, only a very few numbers were really hard to read in the teeny tiny spots but it’s manageable. -The 3 paint brushes were good and held up the whole process. Obviously just clean them often and take care of them. -They sent more than enough paint for each color, only a 1-2 were a little dry so I learned quickly that adding a scant amount of water helped. -I didn’t buy the frame so once I completed my painting, I bought a stretch bar frame and the canvas had plenty of extra space to wrap around so I was happy with that. The actual painting is slightly smaller than 12x16 bc the paint part didn’t wrap around the edge when wrapped, it left the smallest white part in front. Overall end product turned out great! Id would buy from this company again, I just really wish they would avoid the problem of creases on canvas and not fold it with shipping. It’s just one extra step that you need to be prepared for when buying, but not the end of the world. Good luck, paint by number is so relaxing during downtime and the end product is awesome!

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.

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!

This couldn’t have turned out ANY BETTER!!! This is an EXQUISITE SET for the price!!! Everything you need to make an absolutely IMPRESSIVE WORK OF ART!!! Esp for a beginner such as myself. Kit includes all needed paint colors, paint map, canvas stretch bars & frame (DIY) & (3) brushes.

Colors were all high vis like we were shooting deer instead of racing Bmx. There was a lot of fluorescent orange, yellow, and pink sent. I reached out to the company but received no response. I can mix my own colors so not the end of the world. What I did like was the quality of the canvas and it arrived rolled not folded. That’s huge! It went on the board really well. As I painted this the elements in the picture really started to show up. It was really cool.
