Miairivy Paint by Numbers Kit for Adults Beginner, DIY Color by Number Set on Canvas, Extremely Creative Acrylic Oil Paintings Crafts, Gifts, Home Wall Decor - Red Poppy Flowers 3 (12 X 16 inches)

I've really been getting into these adult paint by number kits, though, one of these days, I hope to break away and just paint my own pictures. In the meantime, this is my latest kit, and I'm very disappointed in the way is was packaged. It may have started out rolled, but unless there is something to support that roll on the inside, it's going to flatten out and become folded, just like this one did (see photos). It's a shame they didn't use a cheap cardboard tube to roll it on. Fortunately, only one of the fold lines became actual crease, but, hopefully, I'll be able to stretch it out along with the other fold lines when it gets stretched onto a frame.Other than that, it is a nice kit. The paint (unopened as yet) appears to be fresh and will slowly flow from bottom of container to top if turned upside down. But in the kits description it does mention that if the paint does gets too dry at any time to just adding a little bit of water will revive it. And there are plenty of colors to keep it interesting, 18 in all. The lines and numbers on the canvas are faint enough that they look like the paint will cover them just fine but are still easy to see and read. The canvas, itself, feels like it is a good quality. I am looking forward to the time I'll be spending on this project and am anxious to see the finished product.

For less than $10, you get a quality linen canvas print, closeable paint containers (vacuum sealed for shipping), brushes, and a guide. Paint was not dry. Over-all, this kit is very nice, and a good activity to chill out.The canvas is rolled up for shipping. No worries if it is creased - I just steam ironed both the front and back of the canvas to make it flat. I also dry ironed the paper instructions sheet. To see the numbers better on the instruction sheet, I used my phone camera to take a picture of the section I want to paint then I used the zoom in feature on my phone. If you're going to paint one color for the whole image then getting a digital copy, as noted in the instructions, is available. The canvas has a 1 inch border, which is in addition to the size of the print. The only thing I don't like is the number of the print is on the front lower part of the canvas (in the border, not on the image part).The instructions state that you can put the paint in the refrigerator or freezer to prolong the storage time.I looked on the YT for working suggestions. Lots of good tips out there, like taping the canvas to your work surface, so it doesn't move or so you don't get paint where you don't want it. Trimming the paint brushes if fibers are sticking out. Two separate water cups for cleaning paint brushes, and clean water for thinning paint (add a couple of drops of water and stir with a toothpick)... etc.I received this product as part of the Amazon Vine program. I would definitely purchase another kit (possibly from another vendor for different selections) with my own cash. A good value at $9.99 ($8.99 after 10% off on 5-2-2024).

I love the flower design on this paint by numbers kit. The canvas/linen has a nice weight I just wish it came with some kind of wood or metal stretching rod which would allow me to hang and hold while I paint. The ad shows a person painting it on an easel. It is not a wood wrapped canvas it is a raw linen canvas that needs to be stretched to paint. I will buy rods to stretch but until then I can't paint it. The kit comes with everything else you need to paint; brushes, paints and a number diagram. The numbers are clearly marked on the top of the paint cups and on the canvas. If you are older you may need a magnifier to read the numbers they are pretty small.

I've been looking things to keep my hands busy so I stop snacking and stay off my phone. This fun little paint by number will do the trick! It comes with everything you need, including brushes. It does come rolled up, so you may need to press it under a few books for a couple days to get the bends/creases out.

I was really disappointed in this paint by Number, (DIY Paint by Numbers Kits, Acrylic) because every paint by number we have ever had has been on a board. This is just a piece of canvas. They send little screws and hooks. I’m assuming to put it on your own board, which is not what I had in mind at all. I really wish they would’ve just had a picture to show it is only canvas - that would clear everything up and it doesn’t even mean that I would not have ordered. At least I would have been prepared. Also, it does have wrinkles!

I like that this image has so many bright colors. It's also fairly simple and very forgiving if you have trouble staying within the lines. This kit is typical of most other PBNs in this price range. The canvas is rolled around the paint and brushes, so it's more of an oval than a circle. Has the same old cheap brushes and little paint pots you get with all the others. I always glue my canvases to backer boards rather than framing them. I don't have enough wall space for paintings & I'm just doing them for fun anyway.

The package came as described, with canvas rolled. Wasn't crazy about that, but a hot iron took care of it. Getting ready to paint, I realized there is not enough enough rim to mount the canvas on stretchers, without losing some of the picture. There is a 1 inch border around the picture. That is not workable. Secondly, the pictures on product page showing the painting over the couch, and near other things shows a much larger painting than this actually is. This is definitely not an over-the-sofa painting.However, you can experiment with your own colors/brushes. There is a picture of finished product, unfortunately it's the size of a postage stamp. Most of these painting kits come with a picture to aim at or guide you, like jigsaw puzzles. You'll have to use the pictures on the product page, and then you can experiment all you want. At ten bucks what can you lose?

A beautiful paint by numbers for adults. This is beginner friendly. Have fun with it you can use the paints it comes with or be adventurous and paint it your own way.
