That turned out great 👍. I think some pictures suit paint by numbers better than others and Van Gogh's style is one of the better ones. I'm just about to start my first one so I've been strolling around TH-cam for inspiration. Thanks for providing some 🙂
I like that you sectioned it off. It gives you a feeling of accomplishment. It can be so finite. I will do mine if Greece with washi tape. Thanks for the great idea.
You did a lovely job with this painting. I also did not know to use washi tape for sectioning off each portion as I thought the washi tape might make the numbers underneath the tape come off but it seems to be just great. Thank you so much for this!
❤️ Thank you very much!!! ❤️And yeah I loved using the washi tape if I were you just don’t press too hard on it just in case 😅 you never know with tape it can be unforgiving sometimes 🥲✨
The printed paper is a reference sheet of the painting..it replicates the numbers of the canvas .so if u have put one layer on the canvas and dont know which one goes where for the second coat...then u can consult the ref sheet😊
@EritsStudio I know people use clear gesso first, but it's supposed to prime the canvas before painting. It's supposed to add "tooth"/texture to it, but I just got my first paint by numbers, and my canvas is smooth on the painting side. I was just curious if different companies use different types of texture
@@melaniephillips8556 ohh that’s interesting 🤔 I have two more paint by numbers and I wonder if they are both canvas or smooth I’m going to go check haha 😂
@EritsStudio it's a canvas but looks like they printed the paint by numbers on something and stuck it to the canvas 🤷🏼♀️. It looks like all the videos I've seen have a canvas texture on the painting side. Maybe that's why people use clear gesso... to give it texture. I'm see how it goes once I start the painting and lyk
When you say 4 days it doesn't really tell me much. I would like to know how many hours approximately? How many hours per day did you work on it? My daughter bought me a couple of paint by numbers for Christmas. I haven't painted one for quite a few years but I am excited to get started. I know you do have to do several coats of light or bright colors sometimes when doing paint by number. I thought it was funny how your cat kept walking/sitting/laying on the project. The same happens to me. I like your masking tape idea too. I might try it.
Ohh how exciting!! Lol yes my cat is my little helper 😚 As for the hours I’m not sure as I didn’t track it with a timer 😞 Good luck with your paint by number kit 😉 I hope the washi tape trick helps you as much as it helped me ❤️
Your paint looks kinda thick. I would recommend using flow aid to thin them out a little and they'll paint smoother and won't change the color of the paint. A little goes a long way!
Haha yes I was painting pretty thick on the canvas 😅 and that’s super cool I never even heard of flow aid I’ll have to check it out for my next paint by number 😁 Thank you for the advice! ✨💖✨
@EritsStudio it' really affordable and a little will last you a long time. I bought the brand liquitex on Amazon for around $10 (4oz). That's what was recommended by another paint by numbers enthusiast. The directions say to dilute it but I watch Melanie B's creative studio channel and she doesn't for the most part. There are a lot of tips and tricks on her channel.
I’m so bright in the beginning 😂
Ya you were!
Very Angelic like!
@ haha 😂 works for me!

Thank you so much!!! 😍 That’s good to know for the future 🎨 And I hope you enjoy your paint by number 😚✨💖✨
I am in the middle of a painting already. Wish I had watched this first. Using painting tape dividing into four sections is genius.
Ohh how exciting!!! 💕 Haha and no worries that just means for your next one you can use the tape trick 😄 Happy painting! 🎨🖼️
I hear ya on the pateince thing! Great job at sticking to it!
Haha thanks, it was a test of patience for sure! 🤪
Nicely done! I’m on day six and I’m nowhere near complete 😂 You’re an inspiration
Haha don’t even sweat it! It does take some time 🥲 I’m rooting for you! You got this! ❤️
Nice work ❤
@@CraftyBanda2 thank you very much! 🥰❤️❤️
This looked so relaxing to do. Loved seeing your cat, too!
Yes! It’s definitely a relaxing project Haha she is always there to monitor what’s going on 😂🐱💓✨

Haha yes it definitely helps! Ohh Greece that’s going to be beautiful! Have fun! 🥳💕🌷✨

Ohh hahaha that is very handy!! Awesome thanks for the tip! 👋😄💕
Where did you order this? Also was your painting area smooth or did it have a canvas texture?
So I actually bought it at Michaels 🎨 and it was canvas texture 🙂 I’m wondering if I had to use something over it before I painted 🤔

Usually takes 22-24 hours depending on how complicated the painting is😊
I pick more dark paintings , like landscapes and animals because the paints are darker and are easier to blend .
Ah that is good to know 😚 I recently got myself a darker landscape painting and I can’t wait to start it 🎨🖼️
