Schipper 609260650 "Indian Summer Triptychon Paint By Numbers Board

I do a lot of paint by numbers. Usually go for canvas ones but figured I'd try something slightly different this time.Pros: a nice picture. More than enough paint and you can request refills if you run outCons: many colours are see through unless you puddle it while others are very streaky. You need to number the pots yourself. Frames are very expensive.I waited until I finished it to write my review. To begin with, it surprised me that I had to number my own pots. Usually this came numbered already for cheaper paint by number sets. Not something that was difficult to do but not something I expected to have to do myself.Once I started on it, I noticed that many of the colours are very see through. Especially the yellows and oranges (which there are a lot of). You either have to go over then multiple times or puddle the paint on to make sure it's covered. I tried my best to apply it in thick layers, using the paint directly and wiping the paintbrush clean rather than washing it between colours. But still some areas you can see the numbers through.Some of the darker colours, particularly the dark reds, ended up very streaky. Again you had to either puddle the paint on or go over it multiple times.It already takes hours to paint it, I don't want to waste time having to repaint it again other than if I choose to add some texture to certain areas. But I think I will have to do so for this painting as there just so many spots that you can see the numbers and lines through the paint or can see streaks.I haven't had as many issues with the paints with any of my past paintings as I've had with this one.I then looked at the frames to put the paintings in and found that they cost more than the painting itself. So in the end I chose to find a different frame on Amazon that was a bit wider and use the leftover paints to roughly fill in the gaps to make it look better.So overall it gives a nice result however takes much more effort than other paintings I've had

Will submit review when completed

Very pleased with this product. The colours are very vibrant and true to the illustration. Application is on a board, as opposed to canvas, so that the paint applies smoothly. Very pleased with results so far. Completed one template.

Great quality, the colours are intense and cover very well. The overall result is amazing. Didn't complete all 3 panels yet, so I do hope the colours will last until the end!

Bought as a gift, but was recommended to me that Schipper paint colours are very true to the image on the box.Packed well & arrived promptly.
