Me as adult has the thing a lot of fun, but without the additional motive sheet on which one can understand the numbers, I would have been sometimes quite helpless.
On the plus side:
- The result is really nice and has a bit of distance toll (the hard work worth so!)
- The idea is great because is to give a self-portrait painted else
not possible for most people
not so positive I felt:
- The image specifications are not easily observed (but there will be certainly good reasons)
- Limitation of the motives (a family portrait is not possible but up to 2 people is good.)
- The bright colors can always shine through the numbers, but paint over again is very
It is hard because it is difficult to re-find the extremely small fields on the attached sheet
- Some "color translations" are (probably due to production) not 100% convincing
(With my picture hair and blouse were shown in the same tone and have therefore a uniform large
black spot found.) With a little Malübung but you can help well by mixing the colors.
Conclusion: I'm going to use this form of "painting by numbers" safe again, because you can make a very personal and unique gift in this way. And even while painting itself has much anticipation to the handover.
TIP: You should really plan well in advance because the sending already takes a lot of time and you have to take into account that it takes time for even tidy's painting.
