Laura, This video helped so much. Although I'm over 60, I have wanted to paint since high school. This video gave me the confidence to start my first picture. Thank you.
I am just beginning my very first paint by numbers kit. I'm really glad I found your video before getting too far into it, as your tips are going to help a lot. Thank you~
So you start at the right and move across to the left? Is that backwards? Wouldn’t you smudge it as you move to the left? If you’re intention is to move vertically, the same issue might occur as well.
You naughty girl painting Outside the lines!!. love the accent, done 13 Paint by, best one was the Houses of parliament in london, put a big yellow sun in the sky then put yellow reflections in windows.
Thank you!! My son bought me my first paint by number and I’m about to start!! Loved your presentation! Fingers crossed my turns out as good as yours!!
i have just experimented using a long match cut to a point for the very small spaces .hold it between thumb and finger and dip it into the paint , enough to get a blob of paint just on the end and if the space is large enough place the blob of paint in the centre and spread it using the match turning the match as you get a build up of paint on the side of the match not in contact with the canvas ,.i found this gave me excellent control when spreading the paint and a very textured finish and better detail.
my first ever paint set will be delivered in a day or two and i am so excited to paint by numbers. it’s said that it would turn out like its been painted by a pro! lol im just so excited. cant wait for my first ever canvas paintinggg
I have not tried or starded on my painting and your tips are very helpful for beginners.Thank you for sharing,l'll surely apply your tips when I paint.God bless
Its so exciting painting by numbers.,it's my stress reliever., i've alrdy finish 8 canvasses thanks for your tips., but for me i 've always start from bottom to top and pull up the background color at the end., but before start i took picture first of the design for reference incase that I miss some areas and forget what color number it is.😂
Hi, Laura. Thank you for your videos. You reminded me to make sure the canvas is crease free! I was so excited to start, I'm so glad I came across your video. I'm gonna gently iron mine first before starting! Thank you and I hope you'll continue to share your works. Have a good day!
Hopefully they change this with the next models (if they continue it). Was really hoping this would be a good on-the-go tablet but yeah. Good thing I waited for your review. ❤
@@laurasstudio Do you have any Great tips how to put the Paint 🎨 on your brushes so you don't over do the amount of Paint. So the design picture looks good.
Thank you! I just started my first paint by numbers and I enjoyed your tips. I have a question, do you dip your brush in water before dipping it in paint ever? It looks like you don't in this video but I just wanted to know.
So cool you did this video. Thank for these great tips. I think they will be very helpful as I start my first painting. Great job on your painting by the way.
ah i shoulve come here before i started and i did the creases thing lol, i knew it would be a learning curve so i got two at once but we'll see how the first one unfolds 😂
Make a wet pallet out of a plastic container paper towel and parchment paper, place parchment ontop of few layers of paper towel and wet slightly use the surface of the parchment to thin out and mix your paint real good this makes the world's difference and stops your acrylic paint from drying can even store leftover paint over night...
Thanks for the tips. I was looking for someone talking about creases in the canvas. I really wanna get started, but I don’t have an iron so I gotta figure that one out I guess
I bought a painting kit and I just realized that some little spots don’t have numbers on them. Even the reference sheet. Idk what color to even paint it
Hello. I've noticed same spots and was confused first but then I realised that those belong to second neighbour arreas. I mean, just look over one neighbour color. Sorry for my english.
Do we have to use a pallet and mix colour with water before painting or directly just use the paint?..is the amount of paint given sufficient for the whole canvas without adding water??...I have my first kit but haven’t started yet..coz I’m scared
Hi! First, don't be scared. Enjoy the process and don't be afraid to make mistakes. Those mistakes will make your painting unique. The paint should be enough for the whole canvas. Try the painting just as it is. Is it hard to move around on the canvas? Try adding a drop of water if it improves. I hope that helps?
That was brilliant. I received my first paint by numbers kit today so this was invaluable!!!! Thanks so much these tips were exactly what I was looking for 👍
I do a lot of paint by numbers with acrylic paint, so I thought I would answer your question. I'm one of those people who picks a number and then goes around the entire canvas filling them in. I use Flo Aid in my paint to make it smoother and more opaque. I find that it usually takes about 10 min from the time I first apply the paint for it to dry fully. I do find that most paints look better with two coats. I wait until it's dry to apply a second coat. Hope that helps 😁
Great advice been given already. Thank you. In my experience it doesn't take long indeed for it to dry. I have never timed it but a few minutes I think
Great advice! I was also told that with some of the lighter colors, (ex. White, Yellow, etc.,) that you should use an acrylic White Paint Pen and just dab the numbers. It was cheap so I may try that in those areas. I will probably put two coats as well.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that starts by using the paint on the lid before the paint in the pot

“Pockets? No… beakers!” I love this, your English is excellent and you are adorable. Love, a Brit
i thought she said 'buckets'
Thank you! 😊
One important thing I always do is always start at the right part of the canvas to avoid my hands and painting get smudgedmsngjdjdjs
My hands always get smudgy! Good thing it washes off easily with water ;)
So you start at the right and move across to the left? Is that backwards? Wouldn’t you smudge it as you move to the left? If you’re intention is to move vertically, the same issue might occur as well.
@@PattiFinn I think they're left handed ^^
@@Brthcl no their probably right handed
@@misty.RO-BLOX I think it's right as in correct side. Right for left-handed and left for right-handed 😅
I just bought my first set and am excited to try it. This was very helpful,thanks
Just got my first set. Realized I might need help! Ended up here!

Do you recommend starting with the darker paints first??
Great tips, thanks! I love the idea of having two containers of water-so smart!

Nice vibe.
This was super helpful.. thank you
Awesome tips. I have only tried one paint by numbers but definitely want to do more.
ah i shoulve come here before i started and i did the creases thing lol, i knew it would be a learning curve so i got two at once but we'll see how the first one unfolds 😂
I thin each little paint reservoir with 2-3 drops of Liquitex when I start a new color. Makes a huge difference.
Liquitex what exactly? That's a brand. They have a number of products.
Excellent tips as always. Very sensible idear. I was really keen to buy more new brushes.
These tips were so helpful! Thank you! 😊😊
Excellent tips. Thanks
Thank you Joanne
Thank you for the tips ✨ I'll be starting painting by numbers as a new hobby & I'm excited to try 🎨🎨💫
@Moonlight Sky Still do.
@Moonlight Sky In no means perfect but with practice and consistency I’ve gotten better in time.
I just finished one of these
That's totally an interesting topic to explore and learn about 😍👏 well done dear and you have explained so well👍
Glad to join your channel😊
Just started mine, bit frustrating as paint too thick and brushes not the best. I'm thinning the paint with water now which helps.

Thank you so much for the tips they really worked and helped me do my first paint by numbers nicely and easily 🥰🥰
Thank you for your kind words and letting me know. It encourages me to make more videos like these! Did you finish your first paint by numbers?
can you use a hair straightener for smoothing out the canvas because i dont have a clothing iron😅
Haha. That is original. I can't say I have tried it, but it might work? I am not sure how hot a hair straightener goes in comparison to an iron?
Laura's Studio i will just put it on the lowest setting and try it out thanks for responding though😁
that's genius. If u dont have an iron that si
Thank you for this helpful video. I doubt I will complete this paint by number in one sitting, How do you store an unfinished canvas?
I am not really sure. I think you just have to let the Paint dry on the self.
You really said "biekers/beekers" of water" hahaha fellow Dutchie. Goed video
Hi from Art by me I think I will give it again something different for my ch .
Hello! Author, I really like how you make content. I wish I could, but unfortunately I'm just learning.
I order my first paint by number I do diamond painting as well
Thanks for the tips. I was looking for someone talking about creases in the canvas. I really wanna get started, but I don’t have an iron so I gotta figure that one out I guess
Iron on the opposite side, NOT the side that has the numbers
Hello! Can you link where you got that paint by numbers please. Thank you :)
I just got mine in the mail! I custom one of my boyfriend and I, as a anniversary gift (of i finish in time) lol
That is great Ariel! Have fun painting it!

Amazon and great prices 😊
The brushes aren't too bad but I've found that teklon brushes work better. They're very cheap, just a bit more sturdy for fine lines and last longer
I have ordered my first one of amazon And i am really excited i wonder how it will go 😊😊
My paint is thick, so would you recommend adding a few drops of water before painting? Thanks for the video :)
I have a channel for paint by numbers, and I add something called Flow-Aid. It’s an additive that makes the paint move so beautifully! ☺️
@@MelanieBsCreativeStudio Thanks! Will have a look at it.
Hii, what are you supposed to do with the screws and other thing?
wow amazing,
Thanks for those tips!
