Review on CaptainCrafts Numbers Adults Beginner Canvas by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Like on the picture!

I was a little worried it would be a lot smaller than the original picture (like other kits ordered from other companies in the past) but it was great! I love sunflowers and despite all the black and gray they were so much fun to draw. I'm very happy with the result, especially after ordering a stretcher/frame kit from Revain to complete it myself. Very quickly, here is a list of my pros and cons, but know I would definitely recommend for beginners (if you have the patience and attention to detail) and anyone who loves this beautiful painting. PROS: - canvas, no paper or card - paint was fresh and not dry - shrink wrap definitely helped I think - acrylic paint, not oil which is much easier to clean (brushes, fingers etc) - a paper copy of the image was provided added so if you accidentally painted over a number you can still look at the paper copy to see which number you should use - the numbers and lines are grey, not black, making them easier to color over - Comes with a paint Photo for reference, as well as a set of 3 brushes - The finished painting is the same as shown CONS: - The canvas was folded, not rolled. You can iron it yourself (see instructions so you don't burn it) but even that doesn't remove the worst of the wrinkles (mine were finally smoothed out after stretching and framing) - no way of arriving early - framed (I'm always happy to pay a few bucks more for it because a do-it-yourself stretching/framing kit is at least $20 and you don't have to worry about wrinkle removal) - the brushes are fine, but I had to trim mine, to get rid of the stray hairs (that leave paint marks), and although I used them, I ended up bringing out a couple of my own brushes to paint large areas as well as very detailed areas that required an inclined brush (not included contain). to achieve very straight letter edges

Pros
  • Color By Number Kits
Cons
  • Incredible Piggy Bank
