Beautiful kit, looking forward to the relaxation I'll experience when painting it.

have been instructed to review 2 separate paint by number canvases in the same review, so I will edit my current review to add both canvases.The paint by number canvases arrived very fast and was packaged well for shipping. The products are exactly as described in the listing. All of the paint and paintbrushes needed are included. Upon opening the canvases there are fold marks as expected but are easily removeable with an iron. As I worked through each of the canvases, I noticed every section had the correct number and color match. The individual paint containers open easily and close with slight pressure so you can start and stop as you go to take a break as needed. I found that using a little wooden skewer aides in mixing the paint with a little water or acrylic medium so that the paint flows easily on the canvas. There is plenty of paint to complete each section and the painting looks exactly as described!The forest scene canvas is beautiful and reminds me of the old Starry Night painting by Gogh. I would definitely recommend purchasing this paint by number set. It is beautiful when finished and such a calming stress relieving activity. Also recommend a magnifying glass and a table lamp for added light when painting the small sections.The Sunflower in the vase is gorgeous as well! This painting reminds me of another on of Gogh's painting and have greatly enjoyed painting it. At the end of a long day at work, these paintings are my way of kind of unplugging for a while and relaxing. The paints included flow great, and the numbers match the colors wonderfully.I am very pleased with both paintings and would definitely purchase other images from this seller and each one has not disappointed at all.

Fun project that looks nice. Numbers show through the paint even after go back over with another coat or two

"EFOTIML Paint by Numbers Kit for Adults Beginners & Kids Ages 8-12" is a more complicated version of the paint by number pictures that you may or may not have done as a kid.I'm reviewing 2 of these here, because the site is making me review them in the same review. Luckily, everything that I'd say is the same for both, except for the descriptions of the 2 images. So, let's get to it! :DThe first, "Snow Mountains and Long Rivers", is a beautiful, natural scene showing a creek running through a meadow with some wildflowers and sakura trees while a mountain range towers above everything in the background, white against a blue sky.The second, "Red Flowers and Small Town", is set in a coastal city that is reminiscent of a European country. It shows a small paved road / path in between white houses with a gorgeous view of the ocean under an endless sky in the background. The scene is dotted with plant pots filled with beautiful flowers, adding pops of color is just the right places around the image.The level of detail involved in these paint by numbers is low in comparison to a lot of similar kits. They're really well-balanced, and that makes these kits fantastic for beginners. And, because of the larger patches of color, it also gives more experienced painters more room to add detail and elaborate on the scene.Each kit includes:* all of the paint that you'll need (supposedly),* a set of basic / inexpensive paint brushes,* a canvas with the color sections outlined and labeled on it,* a reference image of the labeled color sections so that you can go back and double check after you've already painted over that area on your canvas,* a reference image of the finished product (on the box), and* hardware that can be used to hang it once it's finished.The included paints are basic acrylic, so they should cover well and dry fairly quickly.The images are mostly light colors, so you may need to purchase additional white acrylic paint to use as an underlayer so that the included colors will show up a bit better. You may also need a magnifying glass to read the numbers.The canvases WILL be creased when you get them. No amount of spreading them out and putting heavy objects on them to flatten them will remove the creases. In fact, I have yet to find a way to remove the creases without the use of a heat tool, such as an iron or, well, a heat tool. lolBe careful with using heat to uncrease them, though. The heat could distort the canvas and / or the coating on them. Ultimately it'll be up to you to decide if it's worth the risk. :)After getting rid of the creases (or not, if that's what you've decided), have at it! These will likely take about 1-2 months of consistent work each, depending on how much time you can reasonably put into them.One of the benefits of acrylic is that after an area is dry, you can add another coat of paint (and thus the aforementioned possible extra underlayer of white). If the lines between 2 colors stand out too much and / or are too noticeable, you can use this to blend the 2 together a bit more (assuming that there's any paint left).Acrylic paint is also really easy to find and buy online, and it comes in a wide range of colors, so if you run out of any of these colors, finding more of the same color shouldn't be difficult. And if you have to blend colors together to get a replacement color, that's okay, too! Heck, even if you end up with WAY too much of the new blended color, because of trying to fine-tune it to get it right, that's no problem either! As long as you store the extra in a sealed Ziplock bag, it should stay wet, and you can use it again later with little-to-no waste.But the absolute most important thing to remember with any craft kit is that it's YOUR project! It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to have the "right" colors or follow the kit's rules. You don't even need to use everything in the kit if you don't want to.You can add ribbon and tassels and dried flowers and stickers and anything else that you want to it, too!Do you want the colors to be more washed out and / or watercolor-like? Water down the paint!Do you want to add a character from your favorite show? Use a printed picture or sticker, or just paint them in yourself!Do you think that it'd be funny to throw a slice of cheese at it to hear the plop and watch it stick? Do it!These projects are yours, so do whatever you want with them! :DAnd at $10 for each kit (an -amazing- price!), you can likely afford to buy a few things to add to them if you want to. ;D lolSo, good luck, have fun, and happy painting! :D
