Either I’m getting better or it could have been more complicated. It only took me 38hrs to complete. Even so I still love the picture.
Couldn't believe that my son's partner had created something so amazing. I sincerely thought that she had bought it - this was the lion - so I had to give it a go.
I'm not artistic or have a good imagination but I love trying new arts and crafts, so this was perfect for me - just need to match the numbers on the paint pots to the numbers on the canvas. Love the fact that you receive a paper copy as well, as this is very useful if you go over the black lines, especially on the smallest areas.
I have only scored four because I've had to buy more white acrylic paint, due to the border being all white, plus the instructions are in chinese, but I watched a couple of YouTube videos, which advised products not included in the pack. I haven't bought them and don't consider them necessary.
My eyesight isn't bad, I wear glasses for reading and computer screen work, but there are some seriously small areas on this particular painting. Hedyart may have easier ones - contact them
As my husband creates small scale models, he has some magnifying glasses, which have been essential for me.
Overall, I am very impressed. I can lose a fair few hours and love the fact that, when I get bored of doing one colour, I can switch to another.
However, start with the lightest colours - they are easier to paint over with dark colours if you go over the lines.
Finally, when you get your pack, ensure that you wet the brushes, squeeze up to the tip with your fingers and trim the top, with very sharp scissors, or with a Stanley knife on a flat surface, as I can guarantee that there will be one hair minutely longer than the rest, which you won't notice until you start painting.
If you can afford it, consider buying better quality brushes.
I'm only about an eighth of the way through but loving it. Go for it and remember - ARTISTS LICENCE (if you have any artistic talent)
Very relaxing - enjoy!!
Really enjoyed doing this, it’s addictive! Don’t know what to buy next 😊
Not started yet. Thanks
Currently doing the painting for my husband as he love totoro can't wait till it's finished
Lovely relaxing hobby when you have such beautifully colourful paintings to complete. Only snag is the brushes are not that good, but the canvases i have had (3 of them so far) have been a joy to work on.
Arrived quickly, great size and design. Great paint quality and amount of each. Going to buy another when i finish the first!
Great quality of canvas and paints, just wish there was extra paint as i run out on 2 canvas’s.
Really enjoyed this, great quality, impressed with results, calming to complete. Thankyou
Great pictures quick shipping and delivery . Looking forward to start painting. Thank you !!
Such a fun way to relax. I really loved this one.
A pleasant surprise. I got 3 art pieces for the price of 2. Beautiful colours.
Order came through quickly, really nice paint, looks good, easy to do, good fun, would recommend
I was really pleased with my personalised painting by numbers and it came out really well. Good quality product.
Brilliant a really good size and lovely colours x amazing thing to do in lock down xx
the painting is beautiful, clear and easy to follow instructions
Canvas quality is great and paint is good too. There is enough paint to go over a few Time to really lock in the colour and blend if you don't want the clean line feel to it. I have really enjoyed this and I brought 3 of them. Would definitely use again. Delivery was fast considering the post while we on lock down. Great service, thank you.
The kit arrived on time, with all the relevant paint, brushes and guidance. Looking forward to finishing the painting!
For a time killer there is nothing to beat it....the hours just vanish, and you are rewarded with a fine hangable picture. The canvas and paint are quality items and the detail quite superb, although another couple of brushes would be helpful. As your painting develops in front of your eyes with each stroke, your confidence grows and even the trickiest areas become less daunting. A very well put together product, aimed at non painters and painters alike I feel and worth the many hours of work required for the pleasure gained.
I brought 3 for myself and kids, we have absolutely loved painting, they are so good you can't even tell they are paint by numbers. Thank you
This is my second painting by numbers, love them find them very relaxing, will definitely be ordering again
