“I had my doubts with this project says no painter ever..however...loved to watch it come together.(but not up close) lol..I used a different technique doing this pic... but time for the next...Paint brushes need a little bit more love, I ended up buying more to add to by collecton for this pic.”
“This scene of a steam locomotive rolling through the mountains was a pleasure to paint. This not being my first paint-by numbers kit. I would like to offer some suggestions. The train and bridge in the foreground, when completed, offered enough detail to blend colors to make it somewhat realistic. On the other hand the trees and mountains in the background not so much. Leaving them with a more robotic feeling then one of realism. I feel this area could have been more realistic, but still being easy to paint. OK with that said not all of the paints covered well. Even after mixing well, some required a second/ third coat to cover the printing underneath. I did find that if I used a more expensive brush it helped the paint cover better. Don't get me wrong everything you get in this kit is better then most and the better painter you are the better results. I am still learning.”
“Great fun. I will be painting more of these! I made a few changes: I made the numbers on the front of the train black and I add a little more foliage to the smaller tree on the left side.”
