The canvas in fine, but the paintbrushes included were unusable - I had to use brushes from a previous PBN I had done. Additionally the more I paint the more annoyed I am with the paint quality. Many of the colors are not opaque and require 3+ coats, but are also somehow really sticky and hard to paint with. Ill be staying away from Winnie's Picks in the future.
Loved seeing him come to life again but did have to tweak his shadowing on right shoulder
This was my first Winnie’s Picks paint by number. The paint by numbers was simple enough, although a couple areas were lacking numbers so I had to guess what colour to add based on the image on the box. Some paints glided better than others. Some paints were opaque which was great, but others were translucent and provided minimal coverage. With these colours, there wasn’t enough paint included in the kit to do two coats. The proportion of paint was also off. I ran out of both shades of red and had a pot and a half left of the blue. My biggest disappointment was with the paint colours. I was expecting the final painting to look much more like the box, with darker colours and more contrast but the colours of the nutcrackers are brighter and the background is very light. There’s no contrast between the nutcracker’s hair and the background. With a minor tweak to paint proportions and colours included in the kit, this has the potential of being a winner. This just missed the mark for me.
Peinture agréable a faire, pleins de petits détails mais qui rend le tableau superbe. Une petite déception pour certaines couleurs qui ne sont pas semblable au modèle ou identique a un autre numéro. J'ai donc du faire des mélange pour dissocier les deux couleurs.
I loved how it turned out! I'm working on the matching cat one now!
Loved her looking at me as I painted away. I always start with the Eyes on all the paintings I do :0)
Stunning just look at those Eyes
Our rescue beagle, Lucy, critically examining her portrait. I think she approves.
Très agréable à faire. Les tubes de peinture sont vraiment plus pratiques que les petits pots qu'on trouve dans d'autre marques. Les couleurs sont fidèles, le résultat est génial. J'adore ♥️
Yep I am back here again posting another review and another lovely painting. No I dont put ME in the photo , who want's to see me haha. Sadly Hiss was killed on the road. This painting is a surprise gift for the owner who lives in Ireland and I hope it doesn't upset them.
I have just ordered another 2 paintings , I am mostly stuck at home doing nothing so why not, apart from the fact I having nothing else to do anyways.
For those who are new to Winnies ... I tried another company and the canvas was sub standard , wrinkles in it that never fully came out even when it was framed so .... don't believe any Negatives you read on the Internet regards Winnies .
Nowhere else to write this so will do it here .... isnt it a shame there is nowhere on here where we can chat to fellow painters , hint hint
Another happy mummy received this painting of her fur baby
As an antique vehicle buff an owning several of them.
This painting has been a favorite of mine to date.
When I received the package the paint had hardened in the cups. I sent a message saying that it was bad paint. I received a response quickly stating that I would be receiving a new replacement set. I mixed up some of my own paint to match the colors and started the painting until the new set arrived. See if you can tell where I used my paint and then the new paint set.
I am very happy with Winniespicks and their support and services and give them five stars.
5 years ago, as the world began to close down because of COVID in March 2020, I lost my Dalmatian puppy to a failed surgery. The loss of my dog was compounded by the stress and uncertainty of COVID-19. I struggled to find meaningful activities to occupy my time when we couldn’t leave the house and many of our usual activities were canceled. I found Winnie’s Picks through a Facebook ad and decided to order a custom paint by number. Working on the painting not only occupied my time, but it helped me grieve the sudden loss of my sweet dog. I worked on it until it was about 85% complete, then life got crazy when I had to return to work in a digital setting. Years went by and I sort of forgot about it. I finally got around to finishing the painting last weekend. Its not perfect, but it turned out so beautifully. The kit was really well made and the supplies were exactly what I needed as a beginner. I will have this painting for many years to remember my sweet puppy.
Took me a month to do. Was a challenge but was worth it. I am definitely ordering from this website again!
I had just finished painting another one of Winnie's Picks, Pheasants in The Grass, before this and went through this paint by number in a breeze. Finished it in one day! Loved ever minute of it. I personally do not love how the colors blended in the sky but still enjoy it. I would say this is a great paint by number if you are just starting off:)
This was an awesome gift for my boyfriend. He loved it and it was so much fun for me to do. Defiantly took a bit of time but was very fun!
Another stunning painting . Well it is to me , hope this Christmas present is liked by their Mum . Thanks again Winnie for such life like kits.
Loved painting Willow I always start with the Eyes , I know you reccommend working from left to right but .... Thats my trade mark on All paintings I do. I start with the Eyes :o)
Another finished , fantasticly realistic looking painting
Opps uploaded an incomplete photo
Challenging due to the ginger not being a good covereage but after several coats I got the finish I wanted. I love doing these as gifts . Now to get more Kits once I have pinched a couple of photos's off the pet forum haha
Another 2 projects finished . Thanks Winnie
I just finished A Woman of Independent Means. As you can see, it looks a little different from the original. I did this because I wanted to make some creative changes that would please me more. Overall, I think it came out nice.
Some colors required 2. or more coats to cover lines and numbers, and I had to use leftover blue paint from another kit when I ran out of one of the kit's blue .
This was a fun and whimsical PBN. Loved seeing all the sea creatures come to life. I was worried that I would run out of blue paint but not a problem, I had plenty. This painting took about a month to do, a couple of hours a day.
Another 2 gorgeous fur babies painted as surprise gifts for their owners
