When I do the paint by number I pick one number and I paint just that number for one day. So let’s say I pick a three I will paint all the threes in and not move onto another color until that three has dried and it is to my liking.
Thanks for the tips..always happy for tips..I must have done 13 or 14 over the years..,,It helped very much to pull me out of depression..I listened to positive Vibe type music while painting..It really was therapeutic!..I may have spent 50 plus hours upon 1st starting,then got it down to 20 plus hours,depending on the complexity of the painting...I tended to write on the back of the canvas how many hours it took me....But not all in one stint ..Over a few weeks even....Best wishes to all you PBN fans..Best wishes form the U.K.
??”add water to your paints, that will make them look more professional” noooooo! That’s terrible advice! Use an acrylic medium, that’s what pros do, not water, which actually breaks down the molecular structure of acrylic paint. If theres not enough paint for the whole project included, than perhaps the company needs to provide more paint?!
@@doodlebug52 There is a product called Liquitex Professional Flow Aid additive and it is made for acrylic paint. If the paint is too thick, a drop or two of the flow aid will make it smoother and creamier without diluting it like water does.
Problem I run into is the colors that are just single numbers like a tan for instance the paint color is no where close to the picture sample of what it should look like when finished so do I just go ahead and paint it on anyways and it will look ok or do I go ahead and mix it and try to get as close as possible I got a fence on my painting it shows ran in very top corner the dark brown literally right under it and doesn't say to mix the color.and on painting sample it's all one single shade of tan not like what the number call ilouts say not even close
Do you recommend stretching/ framing the canvas before painting your canvas?? I have a canvas that will wrap around the diy frame and doesn't have boarders
I started painting 3 days ago (about 30% done so far) and Loving it. However I have started hurting in my neck and back at places I didn't even know existed before. It got so painful yesterday I had to put the project down. Any advise on how to do the painting so it doesn't get painful? I am doing it at my dining table maybe that can be the issue? Not having proper painting set up. Please advice. Thank you!
if you look down, perhaps have regular breaks or prop the painting higher/at an angle so your neck is not crooked. Just move in between sections and relax often.
Thank you for sharing these tips with us. Do you think painting in a sunroom is a bad idea? I get the sun in the afternoons but planing to paint in the mornings! I hope you see this
I have paid for 2 paint by number kits on your website. it has been 40 days since I purchase those items. I have sent a number of emails and have only received one response. What is going on. Is anyone working there. please send me an update and my order confirmation email, along with the tracking #.
I wonder how many guys watch your videos because you are attractive instead of interest in painting by numbers. I've had 40+ years of artwork and musicianship. But honestly, I wanted to see what you had to say because of your beautiful face and sweet smile.

Why start with the darker colours? i was told to start with the lighter ones, im new to this 😅
Thanks for your tips!

exactly, I was using thick layers and still have extra paint.
Yep truly not recommend add water to paints esp if it’s acrylic paint. It just breaks the true color and less vibrant-y
What is acrylic medium? I’m a brand newbie to this. Would I buy that at an art supply store or on Amazon? Suggestions welcome. 🙏🏼

Thank you very much for ur advices.
Thank you so much for the advice
My canvas has what seems to be a paper cover over the number side. How do I remove it?
Hi! Is it fine to put the frames first before painting? Please advise. Thanks 🙏🏻
yes of course, it’ll help

Blend it

Could you please give more details what's that DIY frame? ❤
@@user-gl7jc9im5q my kit came with 4 wooden boards that I screw together to make the frame for the picture to wrap around
@user-gl7jc9im5q I ordered from diamond painting pro and you can order paint by numbers with or without a frame
What about when they send you the colours that are so way off the colour in the photo?
Should one tackle the background first then the foreground?

Get a an easel for your table. :)
I have a back that I broke and I literally prop up my canvas or board cuse I use the ones from hobby lobby and the canvas is on a hard fiber board
I’ve been painting for weeks and I’m only on number 7 of 17 😫
I paint with several different colors in one sitting. I never go in order.
Is it toxic to work with acrylic paints, or is the amount too small in paint by numbers?
All artist paints are toxic......but only if you eat them!.
enggak buka store di shopee ya? :(
Thanks for ur tips !
What do you do if they dont give you all the colors you need?
my paints have dried and hardened in their containers. Water dosen't work. Any tips pls?
You will have to buy new acrylic paint and mix the colours that you need.

natural light is best! It helps with the eye strain if you're at it for long periods of time

I started with darker colors, but my friends who started with light colors looks much better. Now I don't seem credible 🤦🤷
Order of colors has no bearing on the painting. I use several different colors in one sitting.
