Paint by numbers kit by Artists Loft Review with tips and tutorial

I LOVED the Paint by Number Kit I recently got at @Michaels Stores. It's the Artist Loft brand and I thoroughly enjoyed painting it in! It's like coloring within the lines, but with a paintbrush. I highly recommend it as a form of #selfcare or #creativebreak :)

thanks Ms. Smitha Katti for the your painting ideas. Yours, is an easy or something that even beginners can follow. Thanks so much. I hope to see more of your art activities because I will send materials in the Philippines for my nephew Paolo who is also interested in visual arts such as this. Again thanks so much.

Thanks for your video! Very helpful. I actually taped mine to cardboard the same way before I saw your video. DIY minds think alike lol. I just started the Hummingbird kit in this collection from Michaels. My daughter picked another floral painting kit from a different brand, so like you, we're doing it together. She's 12, and I'm looking forward to spending some quality, quiet time together. Glad you shared this video. Thank you!

Great video! I have been looking for a review of a PBN by Artist's Loft for a while. I recently completely 2 paintings from this Michaels brand. One is the Lighthouse on the cliff (easy) and the other is the Mountain scene with reflection on the water (intermediate). I enjoyed doing them so much that I started another (Beach sunset with palm trees) 2 days ago. Once I found out that the kits go on sale during the holidays, I went out and purchased 6 more to complete this winter! I had to purchase some detail brushes so that I could reach the teeny tiny spaces that the provided brushes couldn't reach clearly. I do have one suggestion that I picked up watching another YouTube video on PBN kits: for the lighter colors that can't mask the number, I used a white gel pen to cover the number before I put paint on it. It works pretty good so far. Thanks again for sharing your experience with these particular brand of PBN kits!

Have you ever tried thinning your paints with flow aid? It works really well for me.

I recently picked up a kit and found I had to use water in order to use the paint. If not it was thick or dried out. This cause me to have to go back and add extra layers, but it’s helpful to k ow if anyone has the same issues.

Tried to post a pic in progress but not allowing me to paste anything. Just started last night on VanVogh’s sunflowers.

My kit had a separate piece of paper with the numbers on it - they were not on the canvas. How do I transfer that to the canvas?

[lindaherard]

When I open my paint containers, they were all dried out. What should I do?

I live in Minnesota, too! Awesome Video!

[traceehawthorne]

Do you know the type/brand of canvas used for the PBN kit?

[ginaroden-brewer]

My only problem with the Artist Loft kits are sometimes they come with some of the paints dried up.

Thank you so much for this very informative video! I bought a kit from Michaels the other day. It's a beautiful Christmas tree. I've never painted like this before. While watching your video I was looking at my box and noticed they have a degree of difficulty rating... of course my inexperienced self chose a "challenging" one!! Lol I'm freaking out inside a little bit but I think it will be fun to do! Thanks again for all your helpful advice! 💗

[markdunlap]

Love this video! So helpful and enjoyed how personable you are 😊 Going to start a project soon!

I couldn't find a piece of cardboard big enough for the canvas, so I went to the dollarstore and bought a sheet of corrugated plastic board. It was only $4. Other tip videos I've seen, suggest use the darkest color 1st🤔 Now Idk what to do.

Thank you for the great tips. I ordered my kit tomorrow and now I am more excited to paint mine. :) BTW I am subscribing❤️

Thank you for your video. I did not see the type of paint included with this kit. I paint regularly and this was a gift. You are appreciated so much for the information. Happy painting!
