[@jessicaturner3405]

This is great! Will be trying on my next paint by numbers project!

[@offdhook3264]

Luckily Michael’s was selling a whole bunch without numbers!❤ love it! Enjoying your videos. Thanks for all the great advice and knowledge. Appreciate your help and sharing tips with us. I’m just starting! 😂

You're a genius!! I'm in the midst of a painting of koi fish, and the oranges and reds... those are always the worst! I'm on the fourth or fifth coat on the numerals. Gah! Wish I'd known this trick. I use several coats of clear gesso on my canvases, but I will definitely be using this technique to *lighten* the numbers before gessoing. I always test my colours for opacity before starting, so I might totally erase the numbers for really transparent colours and add a small brush of colour - then gesso. Thanks so much for this!

Since I go over the canvas with clear gesso before starting the painting, I don't think this would work. But for those that don't, great product.

[@creativecraftswithginny]

I did test it out on gesso canvas, and it works; give it a try.

Hello. What happened to the end of the video? What kind of brush do you dip the solution in?

[@creativecraftswithginny]

If it is remove the numbers, it is half water and half rubbing alcohol.

[@oskie501]

Thanks. I was wondering about the little nub you use. You called it something but I couldn't make out what you were saying. Where would I find it? (I have zero experience with this. I got it as a gift. @@creativecraftswithginny

[@creativecraftswithginny]

@oskie501 you can use disposable lipliner brushes, q-tips work but are messy. Use a wet wipe to clean up the leftover ink.

[@miakodemelo]

1 to 1 ratio of alcohol to water.

[@RF-rz5vv]

Thank you for this great idea, I’m going to try it today. What type of brushes are you using to apply the mixture?

[@creativecraftswithginny]

I use lip liner brushes; the tips are strong.

[@RF-rz5vv]

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn’t have thought to try that. Really enjoy your videos very helpful.

I just use Johiux White Gel Pens 0.8mm and draw over the number

[@ritanazar]

I always geso my pbn but in the end I always see little whites from the canvas showing through. Is there any ideas of how I can fix this.

[@creativecraftswithginny]

If you use a lot of dark colors blacks browns blues use a sharpie and dot them out. Or use a thicker bodied paint. Or a combo.
