5 Tips for your first brushstroke
With these simple tips, your first set will be more relaxed, cleaner, and more beautiful.
Light colors first
Start with lighter tones. Darker colors are easier to apply over them later than the other way around.
Close pots tightly
Acrylic paint dries in the air. Only open the color you need and close it again afterward.
From top to bottom
Work your way from top to bottom. This way, you'll smudge less with your palm.
Clean brushes
Rinse the brush regularly with water, especially when changing colors. This keeps lines cleaner.
Breaks are allowed
You don't have to finish everything at once. Several quiet evenings are often more pleasant.
Three myths — calmly clarified
Many beginners have the same doubts before their first set. That's exactly what Paint by Numbers is for.
You don't need drawing talent
The canvas is already pre-printed. You don't have to draw any shapes or plan colors yourself. You simply follow the numbered fields.
You'll see quick progress
Even after a short time, the first areas fill up and the motif becomes visible. This visible progress is exactly what makes painting so motivating.
Everything is included in the set
You don't need a lot of equipment. The set includes canvas, paints, and brushes. You just need some space, water for the brush, and a little time.
