Ledgebay DIY Paint by Numbers Kit for Adults Framed Canvas: Beginner to Advanced Paint by Numbers Kit, Kits Include Acrylic Paint Set Brushes Tabletop Easel (Seaside Escape 12" x 16" Framed)

It’ll keep you busy for hours! It’s so fun to paint. The quality of the canvas is heavy and made of very good quality material. It’s a beautiful picture and it is going to look good in our house when it’s finished. It is allot of value for the money spent. I’m not quite done with it but here’s my picture so far.

So far I am just starting to sit down to paint this. The kit comes with lots of acrylic paint color pots, 3 lower quality brushes, one small reference card for the paint colors, a instruction sheet and a table top easel. So it looks like this is more of an adult paint project and not something that would be fun for kids since the areas to apply paint are small to very small. Overall the kit looks to be of high quality minus the brushes that are packaged with it. So you will need to supply your own set of good quality brushes as these dictate how well your painting will look after you complete it. Other than that this looks like a great way to sit by the fire in the afternoons and watch the snow fall. I am giving this five stars at this point since the canvas is nice and tight on the frame and the areas to be colored in are printed well on the canvas and easy to follow. If anything changes I will be back to edit this review.

I bought this paint-by-number, along with one other, before COVID. I started on this one but became very frustrated, partially because I needed to have my glasses renewed, but also because the spaces are so tiny and the numbers are hard to see. So I put it aside until after my eye doctor’s appointment, but it was cancelled, due to COVID. So, life happens and 4 years go by, but I didn’t forget. Three weeks go, with brand new glasses, I started again. The spaces were still too small and the smallest brush too big, but I stuck with it. If you are a perfectionist, like I am, this may not be for you. I often found that I ran one space over into another or misread a number. But if you are a perfectionist but love a challenge, as I do, then go for it. Keep in mind that as one of the pictures shows, the picture does not stretch around the sides top or bottom of the canvas. Since I did not want to use a frame, I continued the scene around those edges with the leftover paint, and I think I did a pretty good job. I took away one star because the print and the lines were so hard to see. I’m including one picture that shows how things run together, but for some reason, in the photo, the lines are much much darker than they are in person. Also, the paint colors are not very true to the original. The sky has a lot of green when I expected blue, and the water also has too much green. Even though the paints were bought so long ago, the only ones that were too thick were the ones that I had already opened 4 years ago, and a little water fixed that problem. Even so, even the thin smooth paint would dry out on the brush in the time it would take me to magnify things so I could see where to put my next stroke. This particular painting would work out much better on a larger canvas. I did look at the other one that I had purchased along with this one, which isn’t one of the ones listed at this time, and its numbers and lines are much clearer, with bigger spaces to paint. I’m looking forward to it. All in all, I enjoyed this experience, and kudos to the original artist. It’s a great piece of art.

I have no complaints. This is a great product, just more detailed than I was thinking! I'm a couple months in working on it, I will eventually get it done!

I'm familiar with painting but not great at it but even I can see that this was designed incredibly poorly. There are almost zero defining shapes, you can't tell where or what anything is if you follow their lines. The paint colors are half dried up and some are not anything like the photo of the finished painting. The color for the bicycle that they give is a horrible gray instead of the lovely teal in the photo. I had to mix my own colors several times and honestly the way I'm fixing it is coming out ok but I really wish they could've just put the paint lines and colors where they belong instead of random blobs of color here and there.

Lovely design, clearly printed. There was plenty of paint as well. However, the colors were very, very different than those online or the photo included. The water, fence and boardwalk were all very similar shades of grey. Not the blues and browns indicated. And the peach color of the ribbons on the bike basket were a green that was indistinguishable from the green of the basket. I had paint left from other painting to correct some of it, but that certainly took away from the relaxing aspect of the project.

Has a lot of dark colors but it only makes the brighter colors more vibrant. It is a beautiful picture. It’s a little hard to read and some of the spots are difficult.

This was my first ever Paint-by-Number Kit and I’m so happy with the way it turned out! When I picked it, I purely judged by the picture, had no idea about the difference in difficulty levels for PBNs in general, the amount of small areas I would need to consider, the time it would take me to complete the piece. And it took me a long time! I ended up ordering an extra set of paints since the original ones dried out in the process and I didn’t want to dilute them. So these days I just order extra paints when I order the actual kit. But probably not everyone might need the extras if they are simply faster - the amount of paint was enough. Now that I’ve completed my first PBN project, I’m hooked)). It’s such a fun, creative and at the same time challenging hobby! Working on it felt like it was 100% mine - yes, of course, you have it pre-drawn and the paint colors are pre-mixed for you, but still it was a lot of creative effort on my part. If I could recommend something to the people doing the kit for the first time, is getting professional acrylic brushes of different sizes - cannot even tell you how much easier and more enjoyable the process will be. Overall, I’m very happy with this kit - the canvas quality was good (I bought the pre-stretched canvas), the art and the rendering of it - very pretty, the pricing is comparable to other PBN kits. Very happy! Thank you))
