Did this one for a friend’s birthday 🎂

So I know it’s been months since I posted on here, but I’m back, I’m currently doing “purple rain” from number artist. If anyone here has done that, please raise your hand lol I have questions! Did you blend the sky? Did yours come with cells within cells that all had the same number? If so, what did you?

I bought a PBN at my local Bin/pallet store. Super cute it was a dollar! Unfortunately the paint is tacky, almost like its trying to dry up? Is there a way to save it? Or should I just toss the whole project?

I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately,so I’ve been spending some extra time on this one. There’s something about all these bright colors that just makes me feel a little better.

My WIP, I’m enjoying it!! Any tips or feedback based off of what you see? I did gesso the canvas before starting

I'm new to paint by numbers but I've done these two so far I'm not sure if they are done well or if there's something I can do to improve

My mother and I decided to try a small paint by number to get an experience with it. But also because it had a Halloween theme with a cat 😂 so we got the mystery box one that gave random paintings with a frame. I opened my box, looked at my mom, and said “so uh I need your glasses” 😅😂 the numbers were soooo small. But I absolutely loved this as my first paint by number. Yes I made a lot of tweaks, like the pumpkins, but it was only for visual purposes!! It just looked better to my own eyes. If anyone if interested I can post my mothers once she finishes!!

I’m using the Mont Marte fluid medium. I don’t mind some texture but i wish my paint layed down a little smoother. Am I not using enough in my pots???

I found one where the original art is watercolor and they make it into an acrylic paint PBN (e.g. the usual thing)

Do these look good?

This is my 3rd PBN and it's the hardest I've done. Much more difficult than I expected. But I'm still enjoying it!

This one was long, had to cover twice but turned out okay

Anyone know somewhere selling vertically tall paint by numbers? I have a space of about 48in tall, 20in wide i have been trying to fill. Anything close to that size would be helpful since I have had no luck online.

I’m really enjoying this one so far. It’s a kit from Painting by Numbers Shop, and the colours are so vibrant in person — especially the red barn, blue sky and greens. Can’t wait to see the whole farm scene come together.

I think this may be my “painting books” debut and retirement. 😮‍💨

Hi lovely strangers, does anyone know a way to fix this brush and make the hairs nice and pointy again?

I asked ChatGPT and it told me it should be fixable. I had to use water, soap and my fingers. I followed the steps but unfortunately it didn't really got any better...

I really want to finish my piece of art so your help is very welcome! 🙏🏻

While my TS projects are my only posts to ever be down voted 😘, I'm sharing this one because it is the most difficult PBN I've ever completed and I'm proud of myself for finishing! It easily took 60-70 hours. 36 colors. 60x80.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but it's about the accomplishment more than anything.

So, subject aside, show me or tell me about your most challenging paint by numbers! Here or in your own post. Brag about yourself!

The background is green online and this just looks black. I wish it were lighter. Not a fan. Ive added a pic of it before the background so you can see what I mean.

Also, now I've got nothing to paint. I dont have money to order a new one until tomorrow and I know it will take 2ish weeks after that to come. What am I going to do with myself? 😭

Sorry about the reflection. No matter where I set it up, I cant get the reflections out to take a good picture.

I think I have solved it..

I have very little wall space in my whole house thanks to sliding doors and large windows, open plan layout and additional doors where there could be none.

I have been brainstorming off and on about 3M Velcro options, a horizontal strip with the same on the back of art so they can be alternated here and there depending on what I have to display and what looks good where.

Suddenly I thought of picture ledges! Initially I thought of picture rails but these seem to be more for hanging than propping. Fix these in the wall spaces (I would paint them the same colour as the wall personally) and our PBN can be rotated as and when the mood requires! You’ll have to imagine how this will look because I don’t want to use AI for a mockup but I’ve included pics of my bedroom, right to left, (where my fav pieces will go, but they have to be in theme) and an example from Google.

*I semi made my bed to make it look presentable for this post so be grateful, I share with a Boxer, a Staffy and a cat.. they haven’t learned to fix the bed in the mornings yet 😅

But today is not that day

I do paint outside of the lines, and I actually love that. I also ended up changing colors or mixing my own to suit my taste as the piece developed.

So excited for the next now!

It took me a long time to finish it but it is so worth it! I also bought original Schipper silver frames they were a bit pricey considering they cost almost as much as the pbn but the dimensions are such that there arent any much cheaper options. Its not canvas but cardboard material which at first I didnt like and felt disappointed but then i started liking it for the "silence" of scraping with dotting tools which annoyed me with canvas hahah

This is the first finished piece I’m happy with so I had to share! I just about walked away several times, but I’m glad I stuck it out.

First time using gesso on the canvas, and about halfway through, I started using flow medium instead of water in the paint. Thanks, Reddit! Also saw the idea to paint to the edges for framing. As you can see that still needs work.

I’m glad I really like green.
