FAQs

What size is the finished painting?

The finished painting measures 9 x 12 inches.

Is this kit suitable for children?

While the paints are non-toxic, the complexity of the design and the small details make it more suitable for teens and adults. Adult supervision is recommended if children are using the kit.

Do I need to buy anything else to complete the painting?

No, the kit includes everything you need: 12 acrylic paints, one brush, and the pre-printed canvas.

How long does it take to complete the painting?

Completion time varies depending on individual pace and focus, but many users find it can be completed over a weekend or several evenings.

Can I frame the painting after I finish?

Yes, the finished artwork is designed to be frame-worthy and can be framed using standard 9x12 inch frames.

What type of paint is included?

The kit includes 12 pots of non-toxic acrylic paints.

What should I do if the paint dries on my brush?

Clean your brush immediately with water after use or when switching colors. If the paint dries, try soaking the brush in warm, soapy water and gently working the bristles to restore them.

Troubleshooting

Paint seems too thick.

Add a tiny drop of water to the paint pot and mix thoroughly. Avoid adding too much water, which can make the paint too thin.

Mixed up colors or painted in the wrong section.

If the paint is still wet, try to carefully wipe it away with a damp cloth. If dry, you may need to paint over it once the underlying color is fully dry.

Canvas is wrinkled or creased.

Gently flatten the canvas by placing it under a heavy book or in a flat, clean area for a period. Avoid ironing, as heat can damage the print and paint.

Ran out of a specific paint color.

This is rare with properly applied paint. For minor touch-ups, you may try to find a close match in acrylic paints, but exact color matching may be difficult.
