Enchanting Lakeside Village Painting Kit - Dimensions PBN 20x16 Review

It was a great color by number game. I won't say it was easy, it was hard, but it was a lot of fun. I was a little disappointed to find that it wasn't actually canvas, but it was easy to paint and I had no trouble framing it. You have to mix colors, but it's a simple process that will make your colors blend better. The numbers/letters and lines were clear and easy to see, and the included brush was good and lasted all the way. The color has a pleasant consistency and is easy to apply. The…

I was so excited about this painting as it has some interesting colors and the scene is so beautiful. Then I started working on it. I got to the stone wall and some other areas that on the board look like they should be gray (17) but should be black. Now the colors are mixed in such a way that the clarity between many rooms is destroyed. The directions page shows things better, but if you start like me and match the board with the color block next to the number, you'll get caught in the hose…

I didn't finish it because I really messed up mixing colors (read the instructions lol) but before I did realizing my mistake, working on this picture made me feel like I was doing something. It also helped me get out of my head for a few hours a day (now priceless). I have 3 chronic illnesses that keep me home 99% of the time and I was looking for something to get me through the day other than video games (sounds heavenly but gets boring really quickly). The numbers are tiny so be prepared if…

color sizes by number is the only brand I will buy. The colors are always vibrant and the finished painting always looks exactly like the picture. Some of her paintings, like this one, are a bit tricky because you have to mix the colors, but that gives them such beautiful tones. As for mixing colors. In order not to waste a lot of paint I used discarded water bottle caps to mix up what I needed. I took a large brush and dipped it in each color 3 or 4 times depending on the size of the area I…

I'm almost halfway through this painting, which was my first painting by numbers as an adult. I love it. I'm a very detail oriented person who loves color so my brain just loves this activity. It is also very reassuring for me as a parent of two small children. After the kids are put to bed I spend about an hour on this project in the quiet of my bedroom and it feels so good to me. I bought an aluminum easel at my local craft store for about $15 to correct my posture. I can't wait to finish…

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…
