Cover the table, set good lighting, keep water and a paper towel nearby. Lightly iron the canvas on low (no steam) or tape it flat to a board.
2
Organize paints & match numbers
Open one color at a time to prevent drying. If thick, add a drop of water and mix. Keep lids closed when not in use.
3
Start smart
Work from top-to-bottom (or left-to-right if right-handed) to avoid smudges. Many painters begin with the background or darker areas for easy progress.
4
Use the right brush for the area
Small brush for tiny cells; larger brush for big areas. Glide the tip—don’t press or splay bristles. Cover numbers fully; add a second coat after drying if needed.
5
Rinse & dry between colors
Swirl in water, wipe on a towel until clean, then paint the next color. A barely damp brush gives cleaner edges.
6
Let sections dry
Acrylic dries fast—about 10–20 minutes depending on thickness. Touch up gaps or streaks once dry.
7
Store in-progress work
Close paint pots firmly; wipe rims so they reseal. Keep paints upright and the canvas flat.
8
Finish & frame
After 24 hours, optionally seal with a clear acrylic varnish (matte or gloss). Then frame and enjoy!
Pro tips
If a paint is too thick, add a single drop of water and mix. If too thin, use two light coats.
Mist closed paint pots lightly with water if you’re painting for a long session to slow drying.
For tiny areas, a toothpick or fine liner brush can help hit small corners cleanly.
Use daylight or a neutral white lamp so colors look true.

I do love it. I went out and bought the paint extender, more brushes, an easel and found rinse, clean water containers in my cupboard and a perfect little table to sit beside my chair. I even set it up in a special place where I could always leave it up. I found a lamp so I could paint when the light may not be as bright. It’s time. I’m ready and then I let it set for quite a while. I was nervous and intimidated. There it sat in its space alone with the door closed. Finally after a week I would go in and just sit in my chair just looking at it. I watched many videos on YouTube for tips and techniques. After 3 or 4 days I popped my first pot open. I wet my brush and then I began. My hands shook. Painting, I observed my strokes, the texture and flow of the paint, the coverage because not only do I not have any paint or drawing experience but no other talents as well, unless you count persistence. I do have that. I discovered that besides not covering the canvas or not covering the lines and numbers well enough because I didn’t go back, there are no mistakes that can be made. My only wish is that the full size color sheet that comes with the canvas is very faint. I am prevailing and enjoying the process. I see so many other canvases I would like to order but I am controlling my obsession to get more right now. Drat. I am in bliss when I sneak away to grow my completed canvas with adding a few more spots. My husband will go looking for me and I will here him call out. Now he pops his head in to see if I am in there first. Hah! Who says old dogs can’t learn new tricks.
