Dimensions PBN 20x14 AdirondackEvening, None, Adirondack Evening

Got this paint by number as a Christmas gift. It was a challenge but I love doing these. Below I list the pros and cons but I want to say up front that I would paint from this brand again (Paint Works). My favorite brand is Plaid because the paint quality is a little better and no mixing is required, but this brand gives a finished product that doesn't look like a paint by number because, with mixing, there are so many colors used. UPDATE: I just finished my fourth pbn in about six weeks. Three of them were Dimensions/PaintWorks and one was Plaid. I've changed my mind and decided I like the Dimensions/PaintWorks pictures best. They look so much less like a pbn with all their beautiful colors and give a much more interesting finished product. I strongly suggest buying small, covered, plastic paint mixing pots and keep the mixed paint until the painting is finished so you can catch any spaces you missed. I sent my son a picture of the finished painting and told him about paint by numbers and he was so excited about the hobby and this particular picture that I sent him one for his birthday. It sounds like he's going to start his right away. OK, pros and cons of this painting and of the brand: Pros: A wonderful challenge if you like this kind of thing, it took me probably 40 to 50 hours to do; finished painting is really beautiful; paints are pretty easy to use; board is well marked and the key is very helpful; because colors are used both straight from the pot and mixed, there ended up being about 35 colors on the painting which makes for a finished product that doesn't really look like a paint by number from a distance Cons: must mix colors, 18 colors were included and then 20 more colors must be mixed with the included paints, I ended up buying small covered plastic containers for mixing and storing the paints so that I could go back and catch ones I missed; colors didn't match the picture on the box ,which is not unusual, but colors used next to each other were so similar in many cases that they almost look identical, that being said, the finished painting looks just beautiful, though a bit darker and moodier than shown on the box; some paints were very thin which made them hard to use and one color was very thick but still didn't cover well; included paint brush is too large for many of the spaces, I have my own so it wasn't a problem for me and I use a magnifying glass

Just completed this. Easy instructions. Everything I needed was included. On some of the lighter colors I had to do several coats to cover numbers but it still came out great. Will most likely buy another one.

This PBN is the most beautiful one I've done. It is simple to paint, but uses blending and mixing of colors. The result is outstanding, although I would have liked seperate colors versus having to mix them. The concept of blending is easy to learn, and the painting prompts when to do so, with dotted lines. The paints in this kit are very fluidous, which means you will have to paint over the numbers a few times in the very light colors. So far, this has been the case with all the other paintings from this company. The good side to this is that you have a very low risk of opening up a dry container of paint. Overall, I am exceptionally happy with the painting. The detail blows away all the ones I've painted do far at this difficulty level. One thing I would suggest to the manufacturer is to supply more than one paintbrush with the kit. An additional thinner brush, with better quality would make the experience a lot better. I would highly recommend this product, but would also suggest you buy a decent paintbrush kit.

This turned out beautiful, but I wouldn’t get it for a beginner. A lot of the spaces were tiny and you had to reference the paper diagram that came with it to even see what letter or number belonged there. Also, besides the numbered paints (18 in total) there was A LOT of mixing of colors required. (Letters A-X) It makes for a beautiful finished piece. But may be daunting to someone just trying it. There is shaded areas on the board that you aren’t supposed to paint. However, when I finished, it just looked strange, so I ended up mixing some more paint and filling in those areas too.

This was the best paint by number I ever purchased. I due around 4-5 every winter when I’m stuck inside.

I bought this paint by number in 2020 to get thru the pandemic. I worked on it off and on when the mood struck. At one point I think I went an entire year without touching it. Last month I pulled it out and finally finished it. This pbn was the first I have ever done. I definitely don’t have artistic skills. I enjoyed mixing the colors and learning to blend. I just recently started a second and have a 3rd already in order! Some of the paints were a little thick. I bought a cheap 99¢ paint pallet at Walmart and a set of liner brushes as well. I scooped the paint onto the pallet and used a few drops of water to thin to my desired consistency. If you are considering doing one of these, I highly recommend!

This painting took a long time to complete, but it really looks good! I framed it and hung it up on a wall.

Really love this kit my mother is painting it and she is enjoying the paint by numbers. It is framed and comes with all you need to begin painting. Paint is good quality not dried out. Did buy extra brushes.

AS OF ALL DIMENSIONS PAINTING KITS - THIS ONE LOOKS GREAT - HAVE NOT YET STARTED THE PAINTING BUT WILL SOON AND HOPEFULLY COMPLETE IT SUCCESSFULLY - I HAVE PAINTED THEIR ITALIAN SCENES SUCCESSFULLY ( HAVE EVEN SOLD ONE OF MY PAINTINGS FOR £100.00 (I DID TELL THE BUYER THAT IT WAS A PAINT BY NUMBERS ITEM BUT HE STILL LOVED IT) THIS HAS MADE ME ABLE TO PURCHASE OTHER KITS TO KEEP ON WITH MY HOBBY AS I HAVE NOW GIVEN UP WORK AND AM ENJOYING MY RETIREMENT YEARS - GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL IN YOUR PAINTING TIMES

5 étoiles amplement méritées. Le tableau a un superbe rendu une fois terminé, beaucoup de profondeur et de réalisme grâce aux couleurs bleues et vertes largement dominantes... Beaucoup de mélanges à faire, mais finalement c'est sympa car même si on se trompe dans les proportions, le rendu n'est jamais raté. Je n'y connaissais rien en peinture par numéro mais je ne regrette pas du tout cet achat.

Ho dovuto sostituire il primo ordine che ho fatto perchè mancavano ben 12 colori rispetto ai 18 che dovevano essere nella scatola, ma sono rimasta davvero stupita dalla rapidità ed efficienza del servizio di sostituzione, oltre alla cortesia dell'addetta Amazon che mi ha aiutata per telefono, Servizio Ottimo! Il pacco di sostituzione è arrivato rapidamente, completo e identico a quello dell'annuncio! L'ho già iniziato e non potevo aspettarmi di meglio. Lo consiglio a chiunque abbia passione per la pittura con o senza conoscenze tecniche.

Tolles Motiv, allerdings wirklich nur für Erwachsene, da viele kleine Flächen zum Ausmalen sind und die Farben auch gemischt werden müssen

Trop beau Facile à peindre Du plus bel effet sur mon mur Je recommande car photo très représentative de la peinture reçue
