3. Paint
You’re all set to paint! For lighter areas, applying two coats is recommended.
This was my first from masterpiece and my second paint by number. I thoroughly enjoy the process of paint by number. This was challenging, but doable for me, as basically a beginner. I did not do one color at a time. I went from top, down the left side and then came over, so I wasn't leaning in it. No way would I recommend one color at a time. I would agree with some of the other reviews as far as the color choices. I got a little nervous on one or two colors that I was going to run out, but I didn't. Also, it was hard to cover some colors on the canvas, maybe because it's not sized or sealed (or whatever it's called) or the quality of it. But I'm pleased with the end result overall and my framing choice.
It was easy enough and overall decent but the skin tone is too orange and yellow. Not my favorite at all !! I find lots of times when I do these the colors don’t quite look like they do on the advertised painting. I keep trying tho
I already love it but I won’t start it for few more months!
It will be my third MBN.
I really enjoyed creating this lovely evocative scene . I live in a retirement home and the staff are using it as a centrepiece of the Christmas display.

Your Questions
I have never painted before, can I do it?
Yes, of course, you can! Paint-by-numbers kits are designed for all skill levels, including beginners. Our numbered system provides clear guidance, making it easy to create a stunning piece of artwork.
How long do your kits take?
The time required to complete a paint-by-numbers painting depends on the complexity of the design and your painting speed. It can take anywhere from a few hours to several days or even weeks to finish. It's the journey though!
For mini kits, it typically takes around 2–4 hours.
Framed or unframed?
Our framed kits include our artist’s grade linen canvas on our patented frame that is also an easel stand. Our unframed kits come as a rolled canvas. See our video →
Why can't I pick the number of colors?
You can’t choose the number of paint pots for an image. If an image has 24 colors, it can’t be made into 48 — companies offering this are just duplicating colors and charging more. More colors don’t create more detail; the original artwork does. At MBN, we license all of our copyrighted images, so the number of colors depends entirely on the original artist’s painting.
Should I clean my brush?
Yes, it is advisable to clean your paintbrush when changing colors as well as after each painting session.
Clean your brushes with cool water and lay flat to dry.
