Pink Picasso Botanical Paint by Number Kit for Adults & Teens, 16x20 Canvas DIY Acrylic Painting Set, Floral Wall Art Craft, Relaxing Hobby Gift, As Seen on Shark Tank (Petal Power)

I love the design of this paint-by-numbers but am extremely disappointed at the overall quality of this specific one. Canvas is quality but the numbers and lines are printed way too dark and the paint doesn’t contain enough pigment to cover them. From far away, the painting looks great. Up close, it looks awful and obviously a paint-by-numbers. Even the darkest paint colors are not covering the lines, even with multiple coats. I’ve now painted each area at least three times which is extremely time consuming. Hours I feel I’ve wasted because I can’t hang this on my wall now. On top of the dark lines and numbers, inside the tube was a 8x10 paper with a mini copy of the painting for reference along with instructions. It must have been rolled up inside the canvas right after printing before the ink was dry. I had to peel it off the canvas and when separated, my canvas had lots of the ink from the paper all over it. It clung to the texture in the canvas causing dark dots all over the side you paint on. (As soon in picture 2) had it been rolled up on the outside of the canvas it would have been unseen at least. All the dots are still visible in so of the lighter painted areas even after multiple coats. Keeps bleeding through. Very sad I wasted all this time. Definitely not wall-worthy. Also the actual orange paint colors don’t look right compared to those areas in the picture either.

Great product and quick delivery

Best Mother’s Day gift ever for that artsy mom in your life plus they look beautiful when completed

I love coloring with colored pencils, but wanted to try a new medium. I have never been good at painting, finding the brush to flexible to wield. I decided to try an easy paint by number set, and found this set design and colors to be pretty. I did notice many reviewers bought a second paint set, but they were all sold out when I looked. Due to this, I was light handed with my paint. I ended up going over much of the painting twice, sometimes three times, to get the desired coverage. This was to be expected, but I had just enough of some paint, and plenty of paint leftover for other colors. My set, like many others, was a bit too orange. Some of the petal transition colors were also different hues, so instead of dark pink, medium pink, light pink, it went dark pink, medium PEACH, light pink. The color difference was obvious, and it did not look good. I was able to mix some of the leftover paint to create a more pink color that looked much better. I did this last, and just painted over the top of the original peach color. I have always been good at being able to differentiate color variations, so this was not a set back for me, but it did contribute to knocking off a review star. Overall, I had fun, did not feel intimidated by the new medium, and was able to relax while creating a beautiful peice of art to frame and hang (eventually). I highly recommend this, though, only to someone who is able to blend thier own colors, so they can fix the manufacturing error.

Gave it to my mom for Christmas. She had surgery in January and was to be in bedrest for about a month. She loved this project to keep her mind occupied and it turned out amazing.

It takes some time so be prepared for a project, but that is part of the journey. The pictures are beautifully detailed, but be prepared to work on it under bright lights as some of the shapes to fill in with the numbers are small. Be sure to rinse your brushes well and don't leave them tip down as you will need a fine point. I like to paint flowers myself, but am very amateur, so getting my gumption up for a free-hand project can take some doing. I found this project to gratify my yen for painting, but without a lot of stress / design phobia, so it was perfect to tackle when I was having a stressful and busy time at work and needed something in my downtime. Already bought a second one!

Ok. So I made this my own creation. Added to it bc I didn’t like some of the original spots that I painted. That being said. This took me about 100 hours to do…but I love it. When ok do these I really take my time so time wise maybe 50 hours if you want just what it came with. I do like the paints very good consistency and brushes were ok. Buy your own brushes is the key. I will buy from them again. I enjoyed it. The only con is I did not like the browns and greens. I thought it would be more greys and pinks. Just so you’re aware.

The painting numbers are very small and lightly printed, so unless you have very good eyesight, this will be difficult. It's a great idea and the picture is pretty.
