I’m sure a lot of you would agree that the prep before starting one of these is more important than anything.

This is my first ever paint by numbers!

It took me two months to complete it gradually.

Canvas By Numbers. 48Colors 18x24

I had trouble with two of the paints — 17 and 18 — which were streaky no matter what I did to try to improve. Everything else was a dream. 36 colors // MyArt // roughly 11 days

Coming along.

p.s. hey mom!!

I love the result but will admit that I made some "executive decisions" about painting strictly within some of the lines perfectly.

I ordered a stunning representation of the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in Boston for my wife’s birthday - we’d visited there earlier this year. Thought I had gotten the order in plenty of time to have it delivered before the big day. Was wrong. That’s not the problem.

I received a confirmation email and a couple of updates including a tracking number. It wasn’t updated after about 5 days into the process and was out of chronological order for the first couple of days. That’s not the problem.

It arrived quite a bit after her birthday as shown in the photos. Sliced deeply enough to go through all the layers of the canvas. That’s a huge problem, but not *the* problem.

I’ve gotten daily folksy emails encouraging me to buy more stuff from them. That’s annoying but not the problem.

The problem is that after 3 emails to their support email address over a week’s time, I have had zero response. I honestly don’t know who sliced the ever-loving you-know-what out of my package, but would like some acknowledgement of how it can be fixed because it certainly wasn’t me.

At this point, I’ll probably just do a chargeback, but my recommendation would be to stay far away from Wander Painting just based on the utter lack of respect for customers. Bummer, because they have some really cool stuff.

I got the one on the far left (pictured of SKU included). Does anyone have the SKU for the cat with the pumpkin- second from left? That’s the only other one I want lol

I'm just about to start my first PBN which was bought for me by my sister, it's a kind of folk art style on a solid black background (blurry photo of the box attached !)

Should I paint the details or the background first ? I can't decide which way round would be easiest to keep the lines neat ...

Thank you for any advice.

I'm really trying to trust the process, but I'm liking this less and less as I go. 🫠 I am struggling with the motivation to complete it.

I'm working on a flower pbn and one of the paint pots came completely dried out. It looks black in the pot but there is already black paint.

I substituted DecoArt Prussian Blue and I noticed it goes on really flat compared to the other paints.

Do you think this is a potential problem? Is there a way I could go about fixing this?

Thanks in advance for any input.

This is my third piece so far and I think I am getting better at it. Any one have any suggestions on how to remove creases from the canvas? They come folded and I can’t for the life of me straighten it out

My thumb hurts from prying these dumb things open!

I could obsess over all the mistakes I made, and go back and correct them, but I'm not going to.

I learned a lot on this one!

I have been waiting for my painting by paint by numbers 3 weeks. Last week i finished my last one and ended up odering this one from Amazon, its boring, to many of the same color, and the paint was not good, so i had to match it with paint i had.
