Thanks for the tips..always happy for tips..I must have done 13 or 14 over the years..,,It helped very much to pull me out of depression..I listened to positive Vibe type music while painting..It really was therapeutic!..I may have spent 50 plus hours upon 1st starting,then got it down to 20 plus hours,depending on the complexity of the painting...I tended to write on the back of the canvas how many hours it took me....But not all in one stint ..Over a few weeks even....Best wishes to all you PBN fans..Best wishes form the U.K.
When I do the paint by number I pick one number and I paint just that number for one day. So let’s say I pick a three I will paint all the threes in and not move onto another color until that three has dried and it is to my liking.
What do you do to blend your edges for smooth transition etc like a normal painting . I get paint by numbers for the pic I use my own paint that’s close to the colors. But I use the pic as a guide line for my painting. Blending . Etc
??”add water to your paints, that will make them look more professional” noooooo! That’s terrible advice! Use an acrylic medium, that’s what pros do, not water, which actually breaks down the molecular structure of acrylic paint. If theres not enough paint for the whole project included, than perhaps the company needs to provide more paint?!
@@RecoveryRose There is a product called Liquitex Professional Flow Aid additive and it is made for acrylic paint. If the paint is too thick, a drop or two of the flow aid will make it smoother and creamier without diluting it like water does.
Not true at all. All acrylic painters use water when they paint. Mediums will thin the paint, but keep the colour solid, while water will thin the paint and the colour.
Do you recommend stretching/ framing the canvas before painting your canvas?? I have a canvas that will wrap around the diy frame and doesn't have boarders
Problem I run into is the colors that are just single numbers like a tan for instance the paint color is no where close to the picture sample of what it should look like when finished so do I just go ahead and paint it on anyways and it will look ok or do I go ahead and mix it and try to get as close as possible I got a fence on my painting it shows ran in very top corner the dark brown literally right under it and doesn't say to mix the color.and on painting sample it's all one single shade of tan not like what the number call ilouts say not even close
I started painting 3 days ago (about 30% done so far) and Loving it. However I have started hurting in my neck and back at places I didn't even know existed before. It got so painful yesterday I had to put the project down. Any advise on how to do the painting so it doesn't get painful? I am doing it at my dining table maybe that can be the issue? Not having proper painting set up. Please advice. Thank you!
if you look down, perhaps have regular breaks or prop the painting higher/at an angle so your neck is not crooked. Just move in between sections and relax often.
I have paid for 2 paint by number kits on your website. it has been 40 days since I purchase those items. I have sent a number of emails and have only received one response. What is going on. Is anyone working there. please send me an update and my order confirmation email, along with the tracking #.
Thank you for sharing these tips with us. Do you think painting in a sunroom is a bad idea? I get the sun in the afternoons but planing to paint in the mornings! I hope you see this
I wonder how many guys watch your videos because you are attractive instead of interest in painting by numbers. I've had 40+ years of artwork and musicianship. But honestly, I wanted to see what you had to say because of your beautiful face and sweet smile.

I painted for roughly 15 hours and i woulf say Im about 20% done

lol I chose the 64 colors painting, that strategy will take me 64 days haha
Yes I did the same it was very relaxing

@ nothing
What about when they send you the colours that are so way off the colour in the photo?

exactly, I was using thick layers and still have extra paint.
Yep truly not recommend add water to paints esp if it’s acrylic paint. It just breaks the true color and less vibrant-y
What is acrylic medium? I’m a brand newbie to this. Would I buy that at an art supply store or on Amazon? Suggestions welcome. 🙏🏼

Why start with the darker colours? i was told to start with the lighter ones, im new to this 😅
I 100% agree! That one dumbfounded me. I would love to know why she says that

Could you please give more details what's that DIY frame? ❤
@@KaterinaKaterina-i8h my kit came with 4 wooden boards that I screw together to make the frame for the picture to wrap around
@user-gl7jc9im5q I ordered from diamond painting pro and you can order paint by numbers with or without a frame
Thank you very much for ur advices.
Thank you so much for the advice
Hi! Is it fine to put the frames first before painting? Please advise. Thanks 🙏🏻
yes of course, it’ll help

Blend it
Should one tackle the background first then the foreground?
My canvas has what seems to be a paper cover over the number side. How do I remove it?
my paints have dried and hardened in their containers. Water dosen't work. Any tips pls?
You will have to buy new acrylic paint and mix the colours that you need.
Try some liquitex flow-aid. Just a drop of two and then stir.

Get a an easel for your table. :)
I have a back that I broke and I literally prop up my canvas or board cuse I use the ones from hobby lobby and the canvas is on a hard fiber board
enggak buka store di shopee ya? :(
Thanks for ur tips !
What do you do if they dont give you all the colors you need?
Is it toxic to work with acrylic paints, or is the amount too small in paint by numbers?
All artist paints are toxic......but only if you eat them!.
I’ve been painting for weeks and I’m only on number 7 of 17 😫
I paint with several different colors in one sitting. I never go in order.
What does it matter if you are enjoying the painting. The longer it take the more value for money.

I thought that they used oil paints not acrylics or even worse water colours.
I started with darker colors, but my friends who started with light colors looks much better. Now I don't seem credible 🤦🤷
Order of colors has no bearing on the painting. I use several different colors in one sitting.

I hope you see this
natural light is best! It helps with the eye strain if you're at it for long periods of time
Use extenders to make paint last .
Also blend your edges when need to
I have seen to many paintings not blended looks yuck 🤮 looks flat

Get your mind on painting .
You are sick !!
