Ledgebay Paint by Numbers Kit for Adults Color Paint By Number 16x20 Framed

Lot's of detail and lots of fun. This was my first painting since I was a child.

This was my first ever Paint-by-Number Kit and I’m so happy with the way it turned out! When I picked it, I purely judged by the picture, had no idea about the difference in difficulty levels for PBNs in general, the amount of small areas I would need to consider, the time it would take me to complete the piece. And it took me a long time! I ended up ordering an extra set of paints since the original ones dried out in the process and I didn’t want to dilute them. So these days I just order extra paints when I order the actual kit. But probably not everyone might need the extras if they are simply faster - the amount of paint was enough. Now that I’ve completed my first PBN project, I’m hooked)). It’s such a fun, creative and at the same time challenging hobby! Working on it felt like it was 100% mine - yes, of course, you have it pre-drawn and the paint colors are pre-mixed for you, but still it was a lot of creative effort on my part. If I could recommend something to the people doing the kit for the first time, is getting professional acrylic brushes of different sizes - cannot even tell you how much easier and more enjoyable the process will be. Overall, I’m very happy with this kit - the canvas quality was good (I bought the pre-stretched canvas), the art and the rendering of it - very pretty, the pricing is comparable to other PBN kits. Very happy! Thank you))

I bought this paint-by-number, along with one other, before COVID. I started on this one but became very frustrated, partially because I needed to have my glasses renewed, but also because the spaces are so tiny and the numbers are hard to see. So I put it aside until after my eye doctor’s appointment, but it was cancelled, due to COVID. So, life happens and 4 years go by, but I didn’t forget. Three weeks go, with brand new glasses, I started again. The spaces were still too small and the smallest brush too big, but I stuck with it. If you are a perfectionist, like I am, this may not be for you. I often found that I ran one space over into another or misread a number. But if you are a perfectionist but love a challenge, as I do, then go for it. Keep in mind that as one of the pictures shows, the picture does not stretch around the sides top or bottom of the canvas. Since I did not want to use a frame, I continued the scene around those edges with the leftover paint, and I think I did a pretty good job. I took away one star because the print and the lines were so hard to see. I’m including one picture that shows how things run together, but for some reason, in the photo, the lines are much much darker than they are in person. Also, the paint colors are not very true to the original. The sky has a lot of green when I expected blue, and the water also has too much green. Even though the paints were bought so long ago, the only ones that were too thick were the ones that I had already opened 4 years ago, and a little water fixed that problem. Even so, even the thin smooth paint would dry out on the brush in the time it would take me to magnify things so I could see where to put my next stroke. This particular painting would work out much better on a larger canvas. I did look at the other one that I had purchased along with this one, which isn’t one of the ones listed at this time, and its numbers and lines are much clearer, with bigger spaces to paint. I’m looking forward to it. All in all, I enjoyed this experience, and kudos to the original artist. It’s a great piece of art.

So far I am just starting to sit down to paint this. The kit comes with lots of acrylic paint color pots, 3 lower quality brushes, one small reference card for the paint colors, a instruction sheet and a table top easel. So it looks like this is more of an adult paint project and not something that would be fun for kids since the areas to apply paint are small to very small. Overall the kit looks to be of high quality minus the brushes that are packaged with it. So you will need to supply your own set of good quality brushes as these dictate how well your painting will look after you complete it. Other than that this looks like a great way to sit by the fire in the afternoons and watch the snow fall. I am giving this five stars at this point since the canvas is nice and tight on the frame and the areas to be colored in are printed well on the canvas and easy to follow. If anything changes I will be back to edit this review.

It’ll keep you busy for hours! It’s so fun to paint. The quality of the canvas is heavy and made of very good quality material. It’s a beautiful picture and it is going to look good in our house when it’s finished. It is allot of value for the money spent. I’m not quite done with it but here’s my picture so far.

This Orchard Puzzle paint‑by‑numbers kit looked beautiful, but the product I received was extremely disappointing. The paint colors didn’t match the picture at all, several areas on the canvas had no numbers, and the instruction sheet didn’t even match the numbers printed on the canvas. Adult painting is usually my stress reducer, but this kit has been nothing but frustrating. I’ve had to patch the picture together using my own acrylic paints just to make it look halfway correct. The canvas quality is nice and I appreciated that it came framed, along with an easel and vacuum‑sealed paints — but the paints dried out quickly, and the color accuracy was terrible. For anyone struggling with the same issue, Walmart sells extra vacuum‑sealed Ledgebay acrylic paints for $9.99, and those are an exact match. Still, I’ve never been so disappointed in a paint project before. This kit needs major quality control improvements.

I think the larger size may have been easier. This is my first paint by numbers from this particular company and the paint was disappointing. A couple of the colors were completely dried out to the point that they were difficult to fix and I substituted others I had on hand. Some were ok and others just needed some medium added. The numbers were tiny and it took me a long time with reading glasses and a magnifying glass. Some of the colors did not seem accurate and I will likely finish it by adding some changes as it is a little dark and dull. The paint pots had numbers on them that wore off so I had to be very careful to keep the colors well organized as most of the numbers wore off completely. The picture itself is very nice but I can't wait to complete it as it has not been easy to work on. i am about 2/3 of the way through it and I do anticipate it wil loo nic when finished

Same here great

Highly recommended it, turns out so nice in my room

Not used yet, Christmas gift for mum.

I think this is very useable.

Love doing these. I must say out of all the ones I have done (20). This set is the best. Great canvas and the paints are full.

I like it very much there is nothing to dislike.
