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 !

Very beautiful and good quality paints. Super easy to set and up. The best part is the paint there’s really no hard clean up since it’s in the containers. Only thing is I really wasn’t expecting this difficulty I didn’t check the star rating for it so that’s my be but it’s got a lot of small intricate parts that will prob take me forever. Over all it came on time for our date night and has been very challenging and fun.

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.

Bought this picture a couple of weeks ago and can't stop painting it. Wish i had more time for it though. I wanted to try paint by numbers for awhile, but couldn't find the picture I liked. When I saw this one I finally made my decision. I like that it has not too many colors, but a bit of small detailes, not too difficult and not too simple. It really is a great experience, especially with everyting that is going on now, helps to take my mind off things. After i've finished i am going to hang it in my bedroom. But I think it'll look wonderful in any room though. Thanks to the seller for fast delivery👍.

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.

With that title being said, there are several locations that do not have numbers at all. I have painted about a dozen of these paint by numbers and with all of them, the standard brushes are not what you should be using and a magnified desk mounted lamp is also key to make it all easier. I suggest getting some brushes from a crafts store and order a cheap lighted magnifier to keep this from becoming a hassle. This one in particular uses red ink as an outline which was a little harder to cover when compared to black. over all, great picture that I can't wait to finish and frame.

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.

The paint brushes that come with it are definitely not great quality and not nearly small enough to fill the TINY lines on the canvas without making a mess. I ended up using an old eyeliner brush more than any other brush in the set. The paints are fine but you have to use them wisely or you will run out. Overall a fun activity but slightly more difficult than expected and a NIGHTMARE if you’re a perfectionist
