Guardian of the Sea

This was my first paint by number painting. I had a wonder, relaxing time from start to finish. Very easy to follow the instructions. I was a little worried about mixing the paints, but after the first mix it was a breeze! No problems at all. I would HIGHLY recommend this painting :) two thumbs up!

I gave this 3 stars because it wasn't as realistic as the other two paintings I did and it looked like a paint by number kit when I finished it. Having said this it does look exactly like the picture on the box so I can't fault the company for that. It's still a very pretty painting. The paint was of good quality and there was more than enough to complete the painting. The numbers were marked clearly and fairly easy to cover with the exception of the light colors which took several coats. It was very easy to complete and the brush that comes with the kit was more than adequate to complete the project. I used a larger brush to complete the larger sections like the sky. If you purchase this kit it will bring you hours of enjoyment.

This is a very pretty painting. Very, very tiny places on the house and lighthouse so you need to be a more experienced paint by number person. The white fence around the balcony was the most difficult part for me. The wave looks very realistic and I've seen that sky over the water off Redondo Beach, CA. I had it matted in a deep mauve that matches the sky and the flowers with a chocolate brown accent mat that matches the rocks and the buildings. Not the matting colors for everyone but I like it.
