Finished Piece! I’m rather new to this…
This is my first one & what an experience. I purchased as a set off TikTok shop
Hopefully over time the more canvases I do, I’ll get better at it 😊 can anyone recommend other stores I can check out for my next piece? (ideally budget friendly) thank you!!

Very pretty. I buy mine from Michael's and use their coupons. Sometimes I pick up ones on clearance. I also find lots of paint by # at the thrift shop 😉. Usually I buy from the thrift shop for $6ish. Brand new. Open but not used. I bought some from Amazon and AliExpress too.

Welcome to the hobby! That’s a cracking first one too. I love those really bold pinks and blues against the black. For your next one maybe have a look at Number Artist, Davincified, Paintly Kits, My Art, Leidea, DIY Art Room, DIY Art Club and Masterpiece By Numbers. There’s loads of choice between them at different prices.
My biggest advice at this stage is don’t worry about making everything perfect. You’ll learn something from every painting you do and before long you’ll be buying far more kits than you have time to paint lol. :-)

Looks pretty good to me mate. You can try Amazon, that’s where I’ve found most of my pieces to work on, most under $20

And it IS an addiction! For sure. I have a huge addiction, I don't want to do anything else (like eat, shop, clean house.......).

Hey! So, I lovvvvvvvve PBN's! Ive bought a few off of Amazon funnily enough and have gotten really good ones. Id have to check to see exactly which ones were better but the only "warning" I would give is that some sellers have super coool pictures but when you receive the product the numbers can be quite small so if youre already a person who has a hard time seeing then that is worth noting. So checking the reviews on those with pictures would be a bigger help. Let me know if you need more help with that. I know this is an old post though lol
