FAQs
Is this kit suitable for children?

Do I need to buy extra supplies?
No, the kit is all-inclusive, containing the canvas, paints, brushes, and hanging hardware.
How long does it take to complete?
Depending on your pace and attention to detail, the project typically takes between 10 to 20 hours of focused work.
Can I blend the colors?
The kit is designed to be used as-is for the best results, but experienced painters may blend edges for softer transitions.
How do I clean the brushes?
Simply rinse the brushes in clean water immediately after use and let them air dry.
What should I do if I run out of a specific paint color?
The kit provides ample paint for the design; if you run low, ensure you are not applying the paint too thickly.
Troubleshooting
Paints appear slightly dried out
Add one or two drops of water to the paint pot and stir gently with a toothpick to restore the creamy consistency.
Canvas has creases from shipping
Iron the back of the canvas on a low, non-steam setting or keep it pressed under heavy books for 24 hours.
Difficult to see small numbers
Use a magnifying glass or a bright, directional LED desk lamp to better distinguish the fine print.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure you have a clean, flat workspace with adequate lighting. Lay the canvas out flat and place a heavy book on the corners if it arrives tightly rolled to help it flatten. When painting, work from the top of the canvas to the bottom to avoid smearing your work. To care for your brushes, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water between color changes and reshape the bristles before drying. Do not mix water into the paint pots unless absolutely necessary, as it can thin the pigment and affect coverage. Store your kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the paints fresh.
