Review on Romantic Love Autumn DIY Oil Painting Kit - Colour Talk Paint By Numbers - 16x20 inch - For Adults and Kids by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very detailed! Love it!

A few years ago I stopped painting and decided to start again. I learned drawing a long time ago by drawing pictures like this, so I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn. If you pay attention, you will learn how colors work together, as well as shades. It has a lot of small details, I would suggest a 4/0 or 5/0 brush to get those little blemishes (trust me it's a pain but adding those details makes a huge difference!). I ran out of grey. color, but the seller responded quickly and sent me more color. While waiting for more paint, I finished the rest of the painting, then professionally stretched it and installed the inner frame. I would not recommend putting this in a regular frame as the colors will wash off over the years. I will varnish this painting once the paint is completely dry. Varnish for acrylic paintings is available in every art shop or here, it protects against dust etc. It also prevents the paint from chipping. Also, NEVER dilute colors with water, otherwise the colors will lose their brilliance, use a flow agent instead, a drop or two will help the color to be creamy and easier to apply. If you prefer, you can also apply clear gesso to the canvas before you start painting. This will help the color on the canvas.

Pros
  • Simple instructions
Cons
  • A prize that will break a piggy bank
