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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The paint quality varies greatly

The paint quality varies everywhere. Some of the strips were so thick that they were sticky and I had to thin them with water. Others were so watery and translucent that it took several thick coats to get a solid color. There was little consistency. One color was so runny and unusable that I mixed my own colors at home to match the color. The colors are different than in the picture. The lighter colors are too similar in hue and indistinguishable from each other, making the highlights/water reflections look like one large blob of the same color. It's frustrating that I've spent so much time on each individual path color just to make them all look the same. I'm pretty sure I had the exact same shade for shades 2 and 3. The canvas was folded and had deep creases. I don't have an iron so I had to steam it in the shower several times and then iron under heavy objects for several days. Other paint by numbers come in rolls, not folded. The colors don't quite match, so the painting looks just mediocre and doesn't look like the picture. I would not buy from this brand again. It's not worth spending 40 hours (most of which were multiple coats of these thin paints!) to complete.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Not everything fits
