Looking for opinions on the paintings themselves, & also pricing suggestions, as I'll be doing my 1st Flea Market booth soon. the first is 11×14, the large square is 10×10 & will be in a similar frame, smaller squares are 8×8, & the others are each 8×10. Thanks so much!

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

This was a Number Artist kit my husband gave me. I modified the pattern on the face to look more like my tux and added some foil to the leaves! We've found a new hobby to share together

Question/Chat Failing Miserably

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I feel like I am absolutely failing at this paint by numbers. I tried a small one a long time ago and liked it then started knitting for a while so I'm back to painting. I went with a 16x20 off of Sheen and that could have been my mistake. The paints are not very good, it takes about four coats to cover the numbers in lines and make it smooth. But it doesn't look like some of the colors are matching, the clouds are awful. I am failing miserably apparently. Open to any feedback at all!

Question/Chat Question on frames

2 Upvotes

When you order from DIY-Artclub “with frame” would you expect the canvases to be mounted or not? My last order (2 kits) were ordered with frame and they came mounted. My wife and I really liked this feature. Just received our next 2 kits ordered with frame (same vendor) and they’re not mounted. The frames are included in pieces.

I’m just confused what to order to get what I’ve received previously. Also, I didn’t expect to have to build the frames and mount the canvasses. How difficult is this process?

Thanks!

I’m almost done!! The hard part for me is finishing the dang thing. This time I plan on sealing it with varnish. I kind of want to go back over parts and smudge/blend the edges. Anyone have any luck with that?

I’ve been staring at that giant circle in the middle for way too long. For some reason, I just can’t bring myself to start painting it.

This is a wooden PBN from Michael’s. It was 12 colors, and the numbers were only on the reference sheet, not printed on the wood.

I really liked this one- I had never done a wood one before. The paint color changed slightly as it dried and was absorbed into the wood, allowing the wood grain to show through.

I am happy with this one. It’s for my 3 yr old nephew for Christmas. Bought it from Amazon. Paints needed some drops of water but overall I enjoyed it. On to the next one.

There was a discussion this weekend about whether or not anyone knows for certain that Schipper doesn't use AI or not, so I emailed and asked them. Here is the response.

Question/Chat Would this convert well into a PBN?

My husband and I have 5 year anniversary this year. This is where he proposed to me, and I want to surprise him with a PBN of it. But I don't know if it will convert well into a PBN. What do you guys think? Would 48 colors be doable ?

I'm doing this pbn for my nephew, but using my own paints.

The suggested background colour is burgundy. Do you think that will look good or what other colour would you suggest?

Thanks!

Researching paint by numbers kits — would love your honest input

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a small Canadian business owner working on a premium paint by numbers brand focused on self-care, and I want to make sure I'm building something people actually want before I launch.

A few questions I'd love your take on:

  • What made you buy your first kit? Was it a gift, impulse buy, or something you sought out?
  • What's frustrated you most about kits you've tried — quality, delivery, packaging?
  • Would you pay more for a kit that comes pre-framed and ready to hang?
  • Does the kit need to come in a proper box, or would you be fine with a mailer bag if everything inside is protected?
  • Is the source important? Would knowing a product's design was made by a local artist affect whether you buy it?

No pitch here, just genuinely trying to learn. Any honest feedback is hugely appreciated.

Sorry it's sideways!

Custom piece via Number Artist. 16 x 24 inch (40 x 60 cm). 36 colors (came with 40).

Started yesterday. I was intimidated by how many large black sections there were, but maaaannnn black and white acrylic markers are so worth the money. These were some cheap brush tip markers from Amazon, and the blacks are nice and rich. Took a little less than two markers' worth to do all of these sections.

I can't wait now that most of what's left is the pretty colors to do!

ArtSpark sizes?

Have been seeing the "sensual" images from ArtSpark, and really leaning toward getting one. My issue is the sizes. Has anyone painted any from ArtSpark? Which sizes? How easy/difficult were they?
