FAQ About Paint By Numbers
First, open the paint pot and paint all the surfaces with one color. It is advised to start with the large areas and work your way to the smaller ones. This technique prevents you from having to wash out the brush too often.
In paint-by-numbers, a motif is divided into many small fields, which in their entirety form a picture. The individual fields are provided with a number, which stands for a certain color. If all the fields are painted with the right color as well as neatly, a small work of art is created.
The price of paint by numbers sets is usually between 5€ and 30€. It depends on the size of the canvas as well as the scope of accessories.
Which color you choose first is not crucial. Basically, however, should be started with the large areas, so choose first the colors that are needed for large fields.
For acrylic paint, an acrylic binder can remedy the situation, as it thins the paint and makes it liquid again. For dried paint in clothing or on brushes is enough to soak in lukewarm water.
In the common sets are supplied brushes that can be used to color the surfaces. Otherwise, small brushes should be used, as you are more precise.
