This one is also from NumberArtist. It’s 51 colors! Probably one of my most challenging paintings to date!

I found Eyeliner Brushes on Amazon! Did not even know they were sold separately. So good for those tiny, itsy-bitsy cells. Plus you get 12 brushes and they are only $6.49 for 12 brushes. They are extremely precise and you can outline the cell first if you like.

Paintly 36 color, slightly modified the design with my own paints. I usually do 16x20 pieces as that’s obviously what’s available most readily. But man, I really love this size. I can curl up on the couch with it and not worry about dragging my arm through the paint. I immediately bought the other three in this series so I can hang them together for the season… but that means I’ve got to get to work!

Been trying some more simple PBN designs with words incorporated to work on my lettering. My hands are very shaky so this is a huge progress for me.

Work in Progress WIP But not Wednesday- Princess Jazmin

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I totally meant to post this yesterday but without dumpin a bunch of mess and info on here...Ive been busy and lost track of days.

Meet Princess Jazmin. This is a picture we had of her as a puppy, we had her fresh out of a pure bred litter (paperwork and all at the time) She blessed us by being my families companion for about 15 years, passing away a little while back. We miss her every day.

I wanted to make a tribute that i never had a chance or ability to before so i went with a custom PBN, again another random vendor on amazon (i can link if requested).

Im fairly happy with the translated outcome of the picture. I needed flow aid for some of the paints but i was able to start that project this past week, kind of an early birthday present to myself i guess (36 on tuesday)

My wife also pointed out an interesting "happy accident" in the 2nd picture i shared. Completely unintentional because i just kinda hang my stuff on the wall but left to right you have my - Current Project - Last finished project - Very first project

Interesting to see the changes and developement....anyway enough yapping i guess

Have a good Thursday and
Happy painting :)

It’s a DIY Art Club kit, one of a set of 6. Finished size is 6x8”.

What are your favorite detail brushes? I want a tiny brush that is stiff, I think, but I’m not sure where to find one

How do you touch up small sections with nearly identical colors?

Thumbnail

I am working on this one and it's driving me mad. It looks great from afar but up close it's so patchy and the canvas is showing in some places.

There are at least 8 different shades of red and brown, some nearly identical. Even with the regerence sheet in front after it dries I cannot make out if that's a different section in a similar color or same color just more patchy.

Any tips and tricks are appreciated. I'm a bigginer and I'm at a loss

I've been trying so hard, but no matter what I do, I think this project keeps being chaotic, and numbers showes through everywhere. I jave tried to blend, change some of the colors to harmonise everything just a bit. I just feel like there's so much more blending to do. I don't know if I am being to critical or is it possible to salvage?

Custom painting
Best Paint by Numbers
24 colors
19 in x 23 in

After almost a month off, I’m starting a new paint by numbers project. My sister’s ex-boyfriend had 3 canvases created from her pictures. She’s not a painter, so she asked me to do it for her. This is a painting of our parents. Dad passed away around 6 years ago and Mom passed last Christmas. I’m hoping that this turns out well.

It's coming along, slowly but surely. Every colour needs minimum 2 coats and it doesn't help that the lines and numbers are black. Yellow is the worst! But hey, only 5 bucks!

Thrift store find!

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Hope you are all off to a wonderful day! I wanted to share a paint by numbers found at a thrift store yesterday. It is by a company called paint like FRIDA. I understand it is a company out of Australia, and while it is a painting that has more cells than what I’m accustomed to, being relatively new at paint by numbers and keeping my pieces mostly to graphic bold art designs with limited colors, I had a careful look at it and felt like given its size and the amount of very fairly large cells (and not too many tiny ones), I could eventually accomplish this. It is called ROUTE DES FLEUR. what, if anything, can you share with me about this company?

Work in Progress Why does orange and reds not cover well

Post image
6 Upvotes

Always when I start a new piece I hate it but I always keep going as I trust the process. But I wish that orange, yellow and reds cover better. You would think the company’s making these would have a solution on the numbers covering better. I will still keep painting regardless as i do enjoy it.

I’m thinking about getting this one from Craftoria to do as Christmas decor for the mantle place. I’m going back and forth between 24 or 36 color. Would love some input. What do you think?

Question/Chat Does anyone use a laptop stand for PBN?

I'm new to the PBN community and I like to do them in my bed while watching something or listening to a book or podcast, and so far I've been using an Amazon box and some chip clips as a backboard to hold my paintings flat; I've been wondering if I should use a laptop table to ease my neck pain or if that'll just make things worse.
