Lake Amidst Snowy Forest

Very pleased with Craftoria paint by numbers pictures I chose! Yes, there is an American address but don’t worry when you see it ship from China. It took a couple of weeks but all 3 of the paintings I ordered arrived in great condition. I’m glad I ordered the 24 colour paintings as they were very detailed already, and I’m not sure I would’ve had the skill, patience or eyesight to add even more colours in. I love that the framed canvases are already assembled instead of just sending along a frame in pieces that I’d have to put together and attach the canvas to (like some other mail order pbn companies I’ve seen). The first painting I did, I hyper-focused for an entire day (over 12 hrs) and completed about half of it. All in all I’d say it’s a good 24-30 hrs of crafty entertainment for me, per painting. The 3 brushes that were provided work great. I do have some other paintbrush sets and occasionally use one or two of those, but the bulk of the painting was done with the brushes provided and worked great. The only thing I found a little bit tricky, was the viscosity of the acrylic paint. Some people love how thick and textured acrylic paints can be, but I personally found that I preferred them thinned out a bit in order to stay in all of the lines. You can thin acrylics with a bit of water or a thinning agent, but I’d recommend googling it first so you don’t overdo it and lose the opacity of the colours which is pretty important for covering up the numbers and lines. All in all I’m super happy and impressed with my plans the resulting paintings I now have. I’ve recommend Craftoria to all my friends and they can’t believe the selection.

wonderful painting! highly recommend!
