Review on Enchanting Lakeside Village Painting Kit - Dimensions PBN 20x16 by Carol Miller

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not for Beginners

This is my 3rd paint by numbers I've done. Actually I started a year ago, stopped and started again this year. As beautiful as it turned out, it was the most difficult painting I've ever done. The mixing of colors and the lack of numbers in so many places helped this painting. I ran out of color because I had to mix colors. This painting had 21 letters on canvas that each had to be mixed across 18 regularly numbered colors. This means that this painting needs 39 different colors, but you only get 18 colors. It was a nightmare and I've wanted to throw it away so many times, but I've spent too much time on it. I was only able to finish it by creating my own colors using old colors from my other paint by numbers I've made. As a beginner I would not recommend this. I'm not sure I would recommend it even to an experienced person. If you need a challenge, here it is, but they need to better mark spots on the canvas with letters/numbers (there was a place for it, they just didn't have it), and more paint needs to be provided. I did my best to save it, but it ended anyway.

Pros
  • Paint by Number Kit includes high-quality acrylic paints, (1) pre-printed textured cardstock, (1) instruction set, and (1) brush.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
