Paint by numbers!

house_cat — Sun, 29 Jul 2018 18:11:04 GMT

II wasn't sure on which forum to post this...

I ordered myself a paint by numbers set. I used to love them when I was a kid. This one matches the colors of my livingroom.

Does anyone here do this anymore?

@house_catLove it! I am not doing so great in my watercolor class, so maybe I need to try this. Thanks.

@house_cat Haven't done it since I was a kid, but looks like fun! Kind of like adult coloring books, but with specific instructions... Enjoy your project!!!

No, I don't paint. Your picture turned out great.

I think you will love it. I think the cats are so cute!

Ibought some kits from Herrschners this year and had a ball.

I have a large one in three sections to start on.

Enjoy!

Love yours! I bet that was fun to do. I tried one from Country Living magazine a few months back but the spaces to paint in were so tiny that I really needed a magnifying glass and some of the paints arrived kind of dried out. I didn't last long with mine.

@Lapdog

I don't know what made me think of it today - maybe because I'm bored - but I'm so looking forward to it arriving on the 31st!

@GCR18

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but that's the photo from the website. I haven't received it yet.

I hope you won't be disappointed either. I thought it would be a good project for the winter. Let us know how you come out with it.

I considered trying one but gripping a paintbrush for long would be a problem for me.

You chose a fun one, @house_cat 👍🏻

I have no painting talent. I had those painting kits as a kid and they all turned it awful.

i have an adult coloring book with complicated abstract art. My grandkids told me that they were,impressed. I guess I can color in the lines with a pencil.

i really like those kitties. I hope your painting turns out well.

My sister and I were discussing them last week. We always got a paint set for Christmas. Then that got me thinking of the crackled marble jewelry kits and the kit with the pixies that were outlined in glued on gold cording then you would put glue in the tracing and sprinkle with faux gems. That must be 60 years ago or so. GEEZ.

I love cats but that is a bit too much for even me. I think it would be fun to paint by numbers.

And don't forget the wood burning kit.

I’ve done one paint by number Christmas ornament set, and one large paint by number picture with a black velvet background.

The picture is beautiful, but is currently in a closet, where it is likely to stay. I have framed and hung it on a wall in this house twice, only to have it fall, breaking the glass and frame both times.

It took 6 months to paint the 16x20 religious based picture. Oil paint takes days to fully dry, and the only place I had to put it to dry safely, was under my bed!

@Katcat1

I bought this one, too, but it looks more difficult. If the first one turns out nicely, I'll try this one.

@house_cat That is adorable. I hope it works out for you.

@house_catThe orange cat is wonderful with the little mice.

Where did you find this picture if I might ask? I love it.
