Review on 🎨 Lapoea DIY Oil Painting Kit: Paint by Numbers for Adults and Kids - Firefly Forest 40x50CM - Perfect Home Wall Decor & Arts Craft by Doris Tran

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful colors, a few disadvantages

Colors: The colors were nice colors, I liked them. However, some of them are not quite enough. I used Liquitex Matte Medium to make some colors last as they got a bit dry and thick (not watery). I recommend everyone to use this over water. (On the photo). Canvas: As you can see from the photo, it was delivered folded. I should have tried petting it a bit before I start painting it, but I was too excited to start. I wish they would ship it on a roll or give it a chance if it has a framed version. To set the folded lining in place I sprayed water on the wrong side of the canvas and ironed it on a towel to smooth out the creases and it worked even though the other side was already painted. However, it is recommended to do this before starting work. Size: The size of the painting itself is approximately 19.5 x 15.5 (not the real 16 x 20) - 40 x 50 cm - painting edge to painting edge, if I order a frame to stretch I got the one that fits it said. was 40x50cm - not easy to find. 40 x 50 cm is not the same as 16 x 20 inches. I dragged it onto the received frame (not easy, by the way). Not a perfect fit so I had to go back and fill in the overhanging white parts and also didn't have enough extra canvas to stretch it properly so I did what I could. Brushes: You're fine. Pretty standard paint by number kit so you won't find anything better in most other kits. I don't think they're good enough if you really want to follow the numbers closely (which I did at first). I pulled out my own brushes to make fine lines. I ended up using my own brushes for a good chunk of it. Design: I liked the design, but I'm a little more experienced and I pick colors here and there as I see fit and do a lot of mixes and beautiful places, heavily ignoring recommendations because I want it to be looks more like the original and not its simplified version. In general, I liked this project. It's really beautiful. Happy with the result.

Pros
  • The painting by number kit is not finished, you need to paint by yourself, enjoy DIY painting.
Cons
  • Some bugs
