Rose Remembrance

This painting was a fun painting to do. The colors were very brilliant amazing colors. The paints were good sometimes in paint by numbers kits the paints can be a little dogy but colors were good. I did change some colors around. I did do a little texture painting using the tip of a wide brush that edge and just going up and down like you’re making a dot, and it creates a texture on the canvas that in paintings like this, especially with the roses in the foliage it brings a little more life to them like I said the colors are very good. I did this one is part of five paintings. This is the last one of scenes that I think look like Italy my time I spent in geno Italy, so they’re kind of in a sequence again this company a relatively new company, but it’s supplying a lot of these kids come out of China so it does take a while to get here but now they have painting kits that are available that they stock here in the states I would strongly recommend getting them framed what that means is, there’s a wooden frame in back that the canvas is attached so strongly recommend having that done. It’s very expensive to go to a shop and have them attach the canvas to the wooden frame in the back so I strongly recommend that I generally order two or three paintings at a time take advantage of their buy two get one free offer and I kind of keep them in as kind of a sequence the same kind like I said before this one is to me looks like Italy so I did several paintings in a row and then I did some Halloween painting several in a row so I get them in a batch and that kind of takes care of you know you’re wanting to do these kind of paintings but yes, I highly recommend it. Highly recommend it with the purchases you do get to build up points they can you can redeem for discounts I do have the easel it’s covered with paint so you know it’s being used this easel great because it can also be put on a top a table top or on the floor. I always have a paper towel in my hand when I’m painting that if I go over a line too much if you take your finger and just wipe it very quickly and then wipe your finger off it’ll remove most of the paint so it makes a nice accent. Keep your brushes always standing upright never store the point down I use warm water to clean the brushes again don’t leave them in there too long because it will bend the point and it is very difficult to paint with a bent brush that’s pointy in the opposite direction the brushes that come in the kit are a good quality when you first starting don’t run out and buy you a $100 set of five brushes. These paint brushes are decent they do offer kit they are that you can buy and I have purchased that and I use them quite frequently but with painting kits like this use your imagination change the colors around make the painting yours. 👍

I just received 3 paintings so they are not done yet. I will let you know a little later. But I know that they will be great, all of my paintings from Craftoria are the best. Thank you!

Very relaxing and rewarding. We keep getting compliments on our artwork!
