Paint by Numbers Kit for Adults Kids Beginner, Paint by Number Kits on Canvas Painting Art Craft for Home Decoration, Black Dream Girl 16x20inch

This is the first Paint by Number that I fell in love with! Definitely not for beginners but still worth it!FYI - The blank, no number paint is for the “Shadowed” section of the canvas.Can’t wait to frame it and hang it up!

Easy to use. Affordable and the finish result is amazing

I loved PBNs when I was a teen (back in the 1960’s. I’m 75 now). With the pandemic upon us, I decided to buy a kit for relaxation. Amazon was offering this one on Prime Day, so I bought it.What I liked:1. There was more than enough paint in the kit to finish the project.2. The paint was of reasonable quality, IMO. Some of the colors were too light to cover the numbers, but this should be expected. You will find this to be true in ANY PBN kit, because the lighter colors do not cover. Some folks use “white out”, or a white Sharpie pen (I bought one here on Amazon) to cover the number, then let it dry before painting over it.What I didn’t like:The canvas arrives folded. I’ve since learned that many PBN kits are shipped rolled up so that there are no creases. I tried ironing the canvas (a few times), and placing a large book on it for a few days (waste of time). I WAS able to remove most of the creases, but not totally, but then I reasoned that this purchase was an experiment before spending money on a more expensive kit, so I went ahead with it.Before beginning to paint, I bought a stretcher frame and mounted the canvas. I learned later that you don’t have to mount it before painting.If you are in the same position I was in when I began, I highly recommend searching YouTube videos. There is a wealth of information there from people who can give highly respected advice on this hobby (PBN), and can also save you money on supplies.

Paint by number they said….it will be fun they said. My wife and I had just completed a paint by number of a flower and were a bit confident with ourselves and hopped back onto Santa’s playground (aka Amazon) to search for a new adventure. We wanted something a little less “grandmas vacation” and a little more edgy. We already have enough “painting with a twist” artwork around, and frankly having two of every painting starts to take up space, So we decided to find a paint by number to do together and would be something we actually hang up when we were done. This edgy beauty met the look we were going for and looked challenging enough to keep our attention. To be honest we thought it would be bigger, but it’s the same size as all the other ones on here, so no worries. Click. Buy. Received. As we unrolled her, she met all initial expectations and we ironed her out and began the journey. I patted myself on the back for also buying a new set of brushes and a magnifying glass light thing for my wife to ease her eye strain. The wife read the instructions and made sure to inform me about the difference between 6 and 9s and that the paint with black dots on top were for the gray shaded areas. <high five for teamwork>. With the kids fed and entertained and our adult beverages in hand we sat down saying “I’m gunna start with the 5s” ….”I’m gunna do the 21s”. We attacked this thing for hours…the offspring grew restless with their “needs” like snacks, new show, sleep….and in response one of us would attend while other kept working. It continued like this for weeks. I found myself unable to sleep, getting up after kids had gone down to bed and feeling like “I’ve got to almost be done with the 21s…I’ll just go work a little more….oh fudge it’s now 4am…just 5more minutes”. I’d eventually rest, then the wife would wake up and review the progress and say to me “you were up till 4 and that’s all you got done?”. It’s like this thing created more numbers over night. We’d work on it for hours and barely make a dent. This painting started to consume us and even impacted our nights away from it. Adult friends asked me what I’d been up to lately, I couldn’t recall what I’ve been up to and could only say…” I got all the 21s done on my paint by number” to which they promptly zoned out and I felt dumb for being 40yo and this paint by number was all I had to speak about with other adults.That being said, we did enjoy this painting and are happy with its final result. It might go on a wall….or maybe she is just to haunting and will be rolled up and put in a cabinet…. I really don’t care. The wife thinks this should be renamed “the paint by number B that would never end”.

Quick paint absorbing canvas.Don’t get liquid on the backup paper template, ink will bleed.Enjoyed working on this project!

UPDATE: I was told paint by numbers was a good way to relax. This painting is NOT relaxing. There are so many small areas to paint and the white, there are six shades and that is most of the painting, you have to repaint everything twice because the lines and numbers show through. You are pretty much watching paint dry so you can do another cover of paint. I did not realize there were so many white shades in the picture. The paint brushes are nice but are frustrating as some of the areas are so small they are to big with paint on it. This painting is NOT for a beginner or even a novice painter. The materials are nice, but having to get the folds out of the canvas is a pain, repainting the white, and the very small areas it just became so frustrating and not enjoyable I gave up and I DON’T give up easily! I will probably try a different painting kit, later, with no or very little white and larger paint areas. This is a nice PB# kit all-in-all, but unfortunately very very difficult to paint and enjoy. I still give the kit three stars for the product quality Happy Amazoning.

Bought for my son and he loves it

The canvas is damaged .I am not satisfied with the purchase. The canvas should arrive rolled up!Some of the creases, when the canvas was folded on delivery, are so deep that it is impossible to stretch the canvas sufficiently. The canvas should be pre-rolled to prevent deep rinkles

I made this for my son’s room & he loves it!!!The quality is great!!!Recommend!

This painting was definitely a challenge, but very happy with the end result. It is beautiful.

This turned out so nice!

The paint arrived all dried up. It’s impossible to use. Really disappointed.

A LOVELY PAINTING TO DO THE FLOWERS FELT AS IF YOU COULD TOUCH THEM EXCELLENT
