OTIKO Lin-A-Lex DIY Paint by Numbers for Adults, Canvas Oil Painting Kit for Beginners, 16 x 20 Inch, Arts and Craft for Home, Charming Winter Cityscape

This is a great painting to do the paint is a good quality , most colors cover with one coat , the guide sheet is most helpful for some numbers are hard to read on the canvas . It took me about four weeks to complete there are a lot of small spaces an fine detail areas . For me using a magnifying lens for the small spaces helps immensely plus I glue all my canvases to a canvas panel to eliminate the creases and making it easier to paint . I also buy the five packs of 4/0 an 5/0 micro tip brushes for the small spaces , plus I never add water in the paint instead two to three drops of slow dry acrylic retarder will make the paint flow better an prevent the paint from becoming to thick , Once complete I like to use the poster frames with a plexi glass front the canvas panel fits them perfect an they only cost about ten dollars . BEAUTIFUL PICTURE !

I would say this represents a 100 hour plus project. It is relaxing, easy to do while listening to a book on tape, and and the printed guide helps when the numbers on the canvas are too small or blurred to read (which is rare).I don't think the brushes are small enough to do some of the detail work - I bought a separate set of brushes which I feel work better. The canvas is rolled, so I clipped mine to an oversized lap clipboard to keep it steady. I am also using a table easel for the project. I do need a magnifying glass to see some of the numbers. Some of the paints are a tad too thick, but I found I could load my brush up with water and mix with the paint easily to create a more usable consistency.Overall, an excellent product that delivers as promised.

I got the darker blue version with paint pots. I imagine that is because I ordered it way back in November of '22. Yes, it took me all this time to finish it. I got caught up in a lot of other projects in the meantime and forgot all about it. When I did open it back up, three of the colors that I had opened 2 years earlier were very thick, but that was my own fault. I mixed up some new paint from acrylic tubes and got on with it. I like pretty much everything about the finished picture except the building in the far background is a bit wobbly looking. I will go back and touch that up. I also used different colors for the lights and reflections. The paint provided has a brown cast to it and I wanted it to be more golden. Again, I mixed up the colors I wanted. Over all, I really had a lot of fun on this one, and the finished painting really captures my imagination.

Turned out nice. But I would recommend a simpler one for your first attempt. Lots of tiny spaces.Would be nice if they gave you a painting guide that was the same size as the picture, hard to figure out where you were at times. The colors were a little different than the included picture (which is about 2x3 inches!) Would be nice to get a full size print to go by. You need to spend 10 bucks for some decent brushes. But it was fun and i'll do some more.

So far this has been great. The paints are packaged very nicely, and nothing is dried out (I have seen this before with other paint by numbers kits). The painting is only 10% done, but so far it is looking great.

When paint dries from first coat, it is blotchy. So it requires another coat. Number 23 is black, number 10 is a blue. Both these are used in many places and I'm afraid I will run out of paint trying to get each section totally covered so the end effect is like photo. Thank you for also including a paper reference.

Mine is not detail as much as people bought before, but still nice drawing.And I feel real painter because of this tube paints. Quality is perfect.

When I received this product, the paint in the containers seemed as if someone had left it out for a bit and it was no longer smooth. There was also a few that seemed half empty, and I ran out of paint at one point. This paint by number also uses red lines and numbers rather than black, which personally I'm not a fan of and feel like that makes it even harder to identify numbers. It's also the type that will only put one single number in a huge spot of color, so if you have a spot with a lot of small lines but it all connects, you have to be incredibly careful to remember what color you're using and where to go or you can easily lose track. This is unfortunately the first paint by number that I just couldn't finish.
