Paint by Numbers Kit

I enjoyed this more than I expected.I am an artist and usually hate this kind of thing as it is too "crafty" and I don't like following exact directions. I'd usually rather paint my own picture.But, this was more like playing an online game, in that it was calming. There were no decisions to make! I just colored in all of one color and then another one. Having the same experience as an online game, but in real time and real space was wonderful. The digital experience always leaves me feeling empty. This makes you feel like you accomplished something and really plays well with "Mindfulness".I did use (and loved) Betem 72 Colors Paint Markers Acrylic Paint Pens, Dual Tip with Brush Tip and Fine Tip instead of the tedious paints that are sent with it.The paints are too thick (although you should continually add water to them and mix them to thin them out a bit) The brushes are cheap and the hairs on them make it impossible to stay in the lines.The PAINT PENS are fabulous! One end is stubby and the other is like a brush. I used both.It took me a bit of time to translate the colors from the paint pots to the matching paint pen. But I numbered the pens, so it was easier to do.The uploaded picture is not yet finished.I started with the 48 pen set, but I needed some specific colors, and sent for the larger 72 pen set. I am waiting on them to arrive b4 I finish it.Already sent for 4 more! And there is plenty of paint left in the pens for many many more hours of fun!I listen to audio books and I can't tell you how relaxing it is!!!

Good sized painting! Definitely helpful for unwinding and relaxing after a long day. The numbers are displayed clearly and make it easy to find. The material is like a thicker canvas so its very durable. Very happy with the quality of this and the paints that came with it. Once finished, it looks like a detailed painting. Good price as well.

I’m still working on it but this piece is awesome! The colors are vibrant, the print is clear and easy to read. I look forward to finishing it

Therapeutic and gorgeous results. A little creasing when it arrived and a bit difficult to match the colors with the tiny detailed spaces and provided brushes but it turned out vibrant! Clearly numbered and easy to read. I’d recommend for anyone looking for an inexpensive mindful hobby.

This has beautiful paint colors! It’s easy to use. The numbers are readable. I would actually have liked it to be a bit more intricate, but overall I enjoyed it. Fun for teens and adults.

I absolutely love the art, it's gorgeous! It was so fun, anyone can paint these and it's excellent for a stress-free, meditation, self care, no decision making art creating time! My ADHD brain needed to find this hobby bc I love painting but my perfectionistic brain needs a break sometimes and it's lovely to not have to think while creating beautiful art for the dopamine!Cons: it comes folded so it's wrinkled. I found that you can iron the back on low heat after you get it a bit damp to remove the wrinkles.It's also not quite 16x20 and could not be stretched to fit 16x20 bars. I was left to either toss it in a frame with a mat that would cover way too much of the painting or staple it while stretching as much as possible to a canvas frame. Even the extra canvas is not long enough to be stapled on the back of the frame. I had to staple it on top which looks like crap.Pros: it's beautiful and I loved painting it and it was cheap! I got what I paid for.I will never buy a folded canvas again, only rolled or framed. So sadly this company is out for me.

Absolutely love the colors and size. I love paint by number and I’ve done many but this tree was special. The paint was perfect, never dry… and the brushes lasted for all the use of the painting and still use them for other things. Got here on time as well.

Beautiful painting. The spaces were large to paint so it's one for a beginner but is still enjoyable for an expert. The reference image it came with is tiny but fortunately I didn't need it. The description says the canvas would arrived rolled but it was folded, and put permanent indentations in the final image as you can see from the picture. I tried to iron out the creases with flat iron on a low heat setting but it began to warp/melt the canvas so I don't recommend it.The creases in the canvas are the only bad thing about this item.
