1. 🎨 What if the paint isn't even?
When coloring, start with color #1. After applying all areas with color #1, take a break and let it dry completely before applying a second coat. This time, don't be too meticulous—swipe quickly in one direction. This will create a more even, dimensional effect.
2. 🖌️ What if numbers aren't covered?
Acrylic paint has strong coverage, but some light colors may show through. If this happens, use a cotton swab dipped in water to gently wipe away the numbers. I usually apply one coat, let it dry, then add another coat to cover the numbers. Remember: don't repeatedly brush over the numbers with your brush. Apply a thicker layer of paint and gently smooth it out with the brush.
3. 🌈 Lines aren't covering, white shows between color blocks
When painting lines, apply thick paint and gently follow the line's path. Use ample paint without creating buildup. Ensure colors overlap between blocks—never let the canvas show through. White gaps are the worst!
4. 🛠️ Paint Selection
Choose eco-friendly, high-gloss acrylic paints for superior results. Please note that the quality of digital oil paintings varies significantly in China, so be selective when choosing.
5. 🖼️ How to Choose a Painting by Numbers Kit?
When purchasing a Painting by Numbers Kit at malls or stalls, avoid any with hand-assembled wooden frames. These frames are typically loose, and the paintings are likely produced by small factories with subpar pigments. Reject paintings with black-and-white blocks, faint dark backgrounds, or inconsistent base colors (some areas with color, others without). Complex designs make matching numbers tedious and frustrating, often leading to abandonment!
Summary: Product selection is crucial. Applying two coats creates greater dimensionality and ensures the second coat is applied in a consistent direction for even coverage. Lastly, the included brushes are typically of subpar quality. If you plan to complete multiple paintings, invest in high-quality brushes separately.
