Terrible Colors

The canvas has been rolled up and this is the only one good point , which is worth mentioning. The color (and the colors in it) is what makes this set so terrifying. There are 26 small paint cans. The first 16 are numbered consecutively and each has its own color. Then there are two black pots at positions 17 and 18, but neither of them are marked. The rest are marked sequentially from 19 to 26. The condition for using unmarked pots is that they are used to color unnumbered areas on the canvas, and these unnumbered areas are usually shaded gray to separate them from areas. which are numbered black and white (well, what counts as white on these canvases). The first clue that something was wrong was when we saw that some spots were marked for color #17, except there was no color #17. These rooms sometimes coexisted with unnumbered gray rooms. Since both unnumbered pots were black, we were at a loss. The next problem was the coloring. Unless the surface on which the vase stands is an iridescent fabric (in which case the wall behind it is the same), there is actually no surface that changes color from a rusty red shade to a bright yellow highlight. It's like a scary circus with rose. We tried adding some black to the deepest red to give the shadow a little more realism, but there's no stopping the goofy yellow blending into the bottom of the vase. Was anyone too happy with Photoshop's filters and layers when creating a color by number coloring page from a source image? The color balance on the monitor may have had to be adjusted. In any case, unless there's a nuclear explosion nearby, there's no reason for pure white on pink (or even yellow) rose petals. And that brings us to the misguided attempt at painting the leaves, a hodgepodge of olive, dark emerald and impossibly light pistachio for highlights. No, we don't use our own paint supply to fix this.
