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.

How much time it takes to complete??

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.

I have this from my bestie. This is my first time to paint and she gave beautiful gift for me. Thank you so much for your advices💞

I hadn’t but had only painted a few of the first number & paint was thicker (way more, than my usual watercolors 😳) & was trying to find ways to even get my brush to be wet enough to go 1/14th inch oh my)! So saw your video & how you did first one (as this is my first one) & saw what a difference w just a few changes you made the second one just look so much nicer & not like a DIY & knew found a kindred spirit!! My main question is how (know it will take experimentation) how much “gum arabic” you did add (and water you kept saying) to make paint still a matte finish but flow a bit more like watercolor is what I feel must learn as these “additive” things I don’t always know if potentially toxic?? Ty very much!! Also if adding too much water then found out color can change & that can be good too.

Love it ….

Pregunta, estos cuadros hechos en base a puntos de colores, pueden tener un desarrollo superior, llevándolos a pinturas con mayor "integración" del color, mejor precisión de la figura... Conoce o ha hecho videos, haciendo un ejercicio de este tipo?... Gracias

Just started mine, bit frustrating as paint too thick and brushes not the best. I'm thinning the paint with water now which helps.

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...

Hi Laura, just got my first kit and found this video. You mentioned ironing the canvas to remove the creases, do you have to do anything special for canvas or can you do it like clothing? Also is there any other way of smoothing it or do you have to use the iron? Thanks in advance!

@PattiFinn

I had the very same question. I hope she answers because I’m doing it right now. What I’ve tried is ironing it with a steam-free iron on medium heat and just kept the iron moving. (I also turned the canvas, still face down, in the opposite direction as well and ironed it that way too.) It didn’t seem to take the wrinkles out completely. So I’m wondering...should I use steam? Should I make the heat higher? Help anyone! Ty!

What do I do if some of the spaces don’t have numbers on them

I’m staring my first one so my question is..how much time does it’s take for the color to dry up on your painting ?

@elleemann

3 жыл бұрын

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! 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.

Usually you would pull up the canva on the frame prior of starting to paint. This way it is more convenient to paint as you can use a table easel and paint the pbn in an upright position.

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

@laurasstudio

3 жыл бұрын

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?
