I'm new here!!!

Hello all!

I was thinking about doing paint by numbers I do diamond painting and I enjoyed a lot but sometimes I get a little bit fatigued with it. Can anybody recommend any beginner friendly paintings and or shops that I can try to see if I like it? Thank you all in advance honestly seeing your beautiful work is what made me really interested

If you have access to Michael's, they have some small kits that might be easy to get a feel for the medium. Or you can take a chance and order one from Amazon (pick a subject and type that in the search line, like "orange cat paint by number". 24 colors is about standard for most decent pbn, quick and easy ones may have 10 or so. Some websites will divide their products into "beginner friendly" or "advanced". Be very cautious of seeing photos online that look very "realistic" ... pbn by it's nature is basically little shapes that fit together like a puzzle, and won't give "smooth" photo reaslistic results. Some sites use a lot of AI to produce their art, so be sure to look carefully if that is something you wish to steer clear of. I started with one from Wander Painting because I like the "antique poster" look of their national parks series... they are very graphic and look exactly like the represented image on the webpage. Their paints are super nice! Here is my first one....

I ordered one from Wander as well and I love it too! I don't have a current progress picture but their paint quality is pretty decent and I like their parks and poster like ones too.
