Review on BAISITE Painting Paintwork Paintbrushes Pigment Lakeside by Linda Diaz

This was my first attempt at painting by numbers and it needs to be learned. I really liked this set but had to deduct a star because the brushes that come with the kit are rubbish. I got it very quickly. If you're considering buying this set (or any other paint-by-numbers set), here are a few tips: 1. Invest in a good set of brushes, preferably one that's oversized where your fingers grip. Illuminated clip-on magnifier is a great help.3. Copy the image piece by piece to have as a reference if you accidentally paint over a number, or go back and touch up.4. Link to a color swatch so you can match colors when retouching. The color will be slightly different when the paint dries and when you have 11 different shades of blue.5. Work from light to dark; You make fewer strokes.6. Diluting the paint makes it easier to apply BUT it can also give it a mottled effect that needs touching up. Use water VERY sparingly when needed.7. Don't worry about riots. The way the image is printed, no one can draw it exactly as it will be printed. Some gaps are literally less than a hair's width. Just join in and have fun!
