I decided to buy this color by number for summer fun and I love it! Like the other posts mentioned, yes, this set requires quite a bit of color mixing to achieve a nice depth of color! I've attached an image showing exactly how much you can do without mixing colors (which is almost nothing) and the end result! Also keep in mind that the kit comes with some parts of the painting that are already shaded (light and dark gray), which surprised me a bit and mistakenly thought it would save me time (since I figured I wouldn't need to paint over it ). However, I quickly noticed that light gray corresponds to #11 and dark gray corresponds to black #12. So you end up having to paint over already shaded areas if that makes sense. The brush that comes with it is more than enough and I still have tons of paint left even after mixing and applying 2 or 3 coats of lighter colors. I would recommend getting a cheap acrylic mixing palette. The patience and effort you put into it was worth it! If you have doubts about buying it, I definitely recommend it! I have minimal drawing experience but I was able to recreate the photo perfectly :)
