“I would love to give this five stars because it is such a beautiful winter scene. However, this is my first painting and it is challenging to say the least. I paint with my right hand and hold a magnifying glass with my left hand and have a bright lamp shining on the painting because of all the tiny tiny spaces and numbers to try to see and paint. Also, I'm going to need to purchase more brushes because I have to use the two smallest ones most of the time and they are wearing out and I'm not even halfway finished yet. I'm having to put a lot of time into painting and at times feel like I'm getting nowhere with it. I don't see how some people are saying they finish one in three or four days. All that being said, I am enjoying the work. I also ordered The Polar Express and The Heart of Christmas when I ordered this painting and am hoping they will go easier and faster than this one is going. When I finish these three (if I ever do) I will probably order from Masterpiece By Numbers again. I like that they provide all the paints and a numbers sheet of the painting to help you follow along. I would like to have better quality paint brushes or possibly two of each one included in the set.”
“This painting is beautiful and very colorful and a great holiday painting. The right side of the painting was a bit tedious because it was a pine tree and there were lots of very small numbers to paint. But the final finish is awesome.”
“I enjoyed painting this beautiful picture. Challenging at times. Hint - use a pallet and mix a little water in your color before painting, the paint will be manageable and go quite a bit further as well as it will be easier to drag and make those fine lines and fill those tiny spaces more accurately. It took the aforementioned advice from an artist before I got a hang of it. I will be doing another painting, it was great fun.”
“Very satisfying picture. I took my time and really enjoyed watching this painting develop. I did add an additional dark green paint into the forward evergreens to add some pop between the cardinals and the plants. I really like the contrast between the warm and cool colors that gives it that warm cozy feeling.”
“This was a great project! You can see i really messed up a couple areas, so in leu of tossing it and giving up i choose a hale mary for a nice save (at least thats what friends are saying). Enjoyed the process learned a lot! Waiting for my next masterpiece project to arrive!
Thanks
Masterpiece”
“Really loved how this turned out! Lots of blues if you are wanting something with more colors maybe choose another one. Perfect winter scene though and easier than other paintings I’ve done from this site :)”
