“Even though I haven’t started this painting yet due to painting the family requests. But it’s next on my list and am anxious to do it. I love the new artist’s paintings .”
“I got this to past the time during quarantine, then the next day I got called back to work the next day. This quickly became my way to destress after I returned from work. I have tried adult coloring books in the past but they make me really anxious and overwhelmed that I will mess them up by coloring something wrong. I haven't done paint by number since I was a child and didn't really remember liking them much but I thought what the heck why not try something since all I was doing was sitting around the house. These arrived pretty quickly for the mail being what it is at this time. This was the first one that I tried and fell so in love I had to order more right away. I ordered the other ones from the Ann Stokes collection and I see there are more so I'll have to order those too! The canvas was lovely and not creased at all from the journey. The numbers were easy to read and I love the enclosed guide that I had to use only because I messed some up. I had more than enough paint to finish my paintings, although and this is just a paint fact and in no way a criticism you do have to thin it out with water every once in a while. It's just the deal with acrylic paint. My daughter is loving getting all my extra paint to use for herself. This painting in particular has a lot of small, small spaces and I recommend adding on the small bushes they sell or buying some from a craft store. The brushes that come with the kit will do the job if you have nothing else. I just like variety, My favorite brush is one I stole from my daughters cheap paintbrush kit. The only weird thing is that the brushes that come with the kits can be different sizes in length, but it's not a big deal I just have favorites that's all. This was one of the hardest I have done. I have completed two and started another. My advice for a beginner is take your time and it will turn out great.”
