Harbour Small Town

This canvas will make the perfect gift. Whether you're giving it to someone to complete theirselves or completing it to give to them. It is such a pretty canvas. And it plays I trickery on you. The entire time I was doing it I was worried that the detail wouldn't show. But then when I completed it and stepped back, it suddenly showed a highly detailed very beautiful scene. There are some positives to this. There was more than enough paint but neared the end on colors 6 and 9. Still have leftovers in those colors though. If I would have went heavy-handed, they would have run out. But the good news is that out of the 26 colors, 24 of them are opaque after only one coat including the six and nine colors with high levels of opacity. This paint opacity is much better than the previous canvases I have ever done. The paper guide was really helpful because it was much larger than previous paint my numbers I have done as well. So if I got lost, I could easily reference a large paper guide. The canvas is slightly thicker and whiter than other paint by number canvas canvases I have completed. I really like that aspect. This canvas is equal to others when it comes to the size of the numbers. The higher the detail, the smaller the numbers. That is pretty standard among all paint by number canvas. I didn't like that the canvas usually only hold what number was listed once per area of painting. On more complex windings of paint, it didn't remind me what number was there. I did have the sheet guide, but sometimes I desired to just continue after looking up knowing where I needed to aim with my colors. I have seen that in other paint by numbers. That they offer the number written in multiple segments of each paint section. A few times the numbers we're slightly too big for the section and overlapped on other section. These are minor mistakes and only rarely happened. Overall I would definitely recommend of this beautiful paint by number canvas. The paint and the canvas quality standard above others that I have done. The result is quite beautiful. If you have trouble seeing small objects I would get out some reader glasses or a magnifying glass and have a great time :-) it is definitely beautiful. Definitely giftable.

When I first looked at it, I was surprised at how small the numbers were and how many very small areas there are to paint. Now that I have the painting hanging on the wall, I am very very happy with the finished product and buying this was worth it for me. I used a magnifying glass to paint even though I have good eyesight as I did not want to strain my eyes. The paints were plenty enough and the brushes are good enough. I have other brushes too and I used multiple so that I could paint different colors in an area. I am a huge fan of paint by numbers and am trying out more creative pieces progressively. I use this to feed my creativity as well as a mode of meditation too. Enjoy.

I like the image and have just started painting it. When it arrived there were two colors, in the plastic cups, that had dried out. I started this just a couple of weeks after receiving. They vacuum sealed the paint cups in a plastic bag and this vacuum will draw out the water if the cups are not well sealed. I happen to be able to reproduce the colors, I can custom mix colors to match, so I am okay. But the vacuum sealing is not a good idea. A better system would be a plastic bag with moist towels or sponges in them. The item was on sale and maybe their inventory was probably getting old, so the color cups had been sealed quite some time ago. Over the last few years I have purchased acrylic paints and learned how to mix them to match other colors as needed.

It’s very detailed, but it ends up looking just like it should. It doesn’t look like a paint by number when you are finished! It looks just like the picture.

I received this product and I started it right away because I was doing it for my mother’s birthday this month. I started looking at the little picture that comes with it and I started to notice that the colors didn’t make. All the colors that came with the picture were to bright. After getting most of it done it looks like crap. I can’t give it to her. So now I have to buy her something else before Monday. I am so disappointed. She really like the picture and wanted it done.

This a good product for me. It had brushes but they are flimsy and thin so I used my own better brushes, has all the paint colors you need (I don't know yet if there will be enough paint for the whole picture), has a map of all the numbers on the picture in case you paint over a number and don't know what color to paint in that area. Has a small picture to see what your picture should look like. It is a good picture for quarantine.

I usually choose realistic scenes to paint, but I chose this one specifically because daisies are my favorite flower, and I loved the colors of the daisies here. I was not disappointed! It was fun to paint, and I filled in the flowers last. Watching them unfold against the background was lovely. So glad I did this one!

This is the third paint by number I've done so far. I love seeing it come alive as I progress. This one is pretty good. Plenty of paint left over. Just use sparingly. Add a drop of water as you go, cause it dries up pretty quickly. It doesn't look as nice until all the colors are there. Just follow the numbers and trust that it will turn out nice. It looks kind of busy up close, but looking at it from a few steps back, it looks almost exactly like the picture. There were a few spots that were missing numbers, but I looked at the photo and did my best to give it a color. This is a great hobby. I find it very relaxing. No thinking, just listen to some music and start painting!The only thing I did not like is that it arrived folded instead of rolled up. I had to lay it out and put a few heavy books over it for a few days to flatten it out.
