Review on πŸŒ„ Captivating Dimensions PBN: Adirondack Evening Scene - 20x14 Canvas by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very detailed but very fun!

That was my first color by number! I'm very happy with how it turned out, despite some minor glitches that I noticed as an artist. I agree with other reviewers that this is a very detailed project and not for those with little patience. I also recommend starting with dark colors like black, navy blue, and green. I mixed some of my thicker paints with a few drops of water which helped. I've also found that a little paint goes a long way (except with lighter colors that require thicker layers). I don't know how some people run out of paint (I have about 1/2 paint left in each container). I would recommend pouring only what you need and then getting more. When the paint dries, it is not very convenient to use. In addition to the accessories that came with it, I also bought a 'Round 3/0' brush which helped with very small spaces. I also bought a $0.99 paint tray/palette to help with color mixing. Finally, I had a sharp pencil beside me and lightly marked the sections that weren't clearly marked. Following lines on grass and water can be confusing. Much luck! :)

Pros
  • The easy-to-follow instructions included with this paint-by-numbers kit will help even the most inexperienced artist master the art of creating special effects like mixing colors.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
