Up Paint By Number

Some tips:- Steam the canvas with a clothes steamer before starting in order to remove the creases from shipping.- The brushes are better quality than some other kits I have used, but they will still shed. It should last you through the whole painting but if you have other fine tip brushes probably use those.This was fun to paint with nice bright colors. Like other reviewers have noted, some of the paint was dried and not usable. Some were drying and needed be rehydrated—I added some water to these pots and they were ok. Also, luckily I had some other acrylic paint on hand to mix the same colors to make up for the dried ones. Something other may want to consider before buying. Overall turned out great though!

Loved this! This was my first "adult" paint by number...haven't done one since I was a kid. It was a fun escape and I've already ordered a couple more. This one took me 3 evenings to finish. I had plenty of paint. A few colors needed a second coat and the burnt orange #3 color seemed a bit off to me but the overall look came out great. I'm very happy with it. It was fun to watch the balloons take shape as I painted. They are pretty forgiving too...if you accidentally blob too much paint you can easily just go with it and make it work.The brushes are acceptable quality. Two of mine had stray strands that needed trimmed. I used some even smaller detail brushes I already had as well.I do really wish it came rolled and not folded. You can iron it a bit I guess (I did not) but it would be better to not have big creases.

I really enjoyed painting this, an activity during the Covid isolation. It looks great when finished, I like all the colors involved. Like many paint by numbers kit this came folded in a box. So I used an iron to flatten it. The iron setting is medium and we pressed on the backside of the canvas. I could not get it completely flat, but the process of painting also flattens it a bit. By the end the creases are very hard to find. Like many paint by number people I have a set of brushes and used them mostly instead of the ones provided. This kit does include a very wide brush, and this was useful for the large blue area that is the sky. There is no blending (or blurring) required for this kit, which I liked as I am not very good at those techniques. I did have to make a custom lighter purple, as colors 11 and 12 were too similar shade of dark purple, so I used left over white from another kit, and an empty cup from another kit, and custom mixed a color to replace 11. This was my first foray into custom mixing but it came out well.

Really enjoyed working on this painting. Loved the movie and nice to have a painting up in my office from "Up". The only issue I had was 3 pots of paint were completely dried. Thank goodness I had some paint from another project that matched 1 of the paints. I had to improvise the other 2 colors. Since I was already two-thirds done with the project, I didn't write to them asking for an exchange. Too much work had been invested in the project. I came close to the colors that were missing, but sad that it wasn't an exact match. Still would recommend this lovely project. Nice to fill the time during the pandemic with this project.

Our daughter started doing these kinds of paintings when everything shut down. She found that it was very calming and tapped into her creative side. It comes with all the paint colors that are needed and easy to follow directions, so it’ll turn out just as shown. She worked on it a few hours each day and got it done in about a week. She ended up framing it and giving it to a friend that admired it. Really great gift at an affordable price!

I like the design and the price, I also like how easy it is to read, but the only problem is the paint. Several of the colors were so dry I was able to take them out and actually play with them, they had a clay consistency and there was no wet paint at all to the color. Other colors were chalky- like putting your paint brush in and pulling it out of the color and it comes out in almost a chalky consistency. Others were so think it was hard to paint with them. I think about 2 or 3 of the colors were actually good, like the consistency paint is supposed to be. It really sucks because I wanted just the paint replaced because I like this one. But any options I see are for a return or a replacement and unfortunately I had started painting before I had realized that several of the colors were just unusable.

I unboxed this on my Twitch streams and found out that some of the paint was dry. I reached out to the shop and they were super understanding and sent me a complete replacement even though I only asked for the paint. Was able to get the painting done within the next few days afterward. Thank you once again!

My husband bought this for me for my birthday. I love it so much!!! It’s the cutest little painting and it was a lot of fun to do. Warning: it takes a looong time to complete and is very tedious. I would do a little bit at a time while watching tv or listening to music or a podcast. The only complaint is I wish it came with smaller brushes because some of the spaces are very small and hard to get with the smallest brush they provide. It still looked great at the end so obviously it can be worked with! This is so cute and I can’t wait to put it in our future baby’s nursery!
