Painting By Numbers | Your Questions Answered! (Opalberry Kit Review)

[@appleknocker56]

I’m very nervous to do the dark colors first because I’ve noticed sometimes the color of one paint (even after well dried) still pulls a bit of the dry color into my wet color? So I try to do the light first but keep hearing do the dark first?

I’m very nervous about doing darkest colors first as even when pre-painted area is completely dry I notice the dry color can mix in a bit with the wet color & don’t want a dark blue into a pink? Love your videos & ty for the tips!

[@ALLJArt]

Hmm that's strange, never happened to me before, I know that with lighter colours over dark, you are better to layer them a few times, so paint the dark, let that dry, paint the light, let that dry and then add another layer of the lighter colour! To be honest you can do it whatever way you want! It's just that it helps push the shadows back and bring the highlights forward a bit better. Thanks for your kind words!

I use a lazy Susan underneath. It helps moving it around .

[@ALLJArt]

Oo that's a good idea!

good morning my commet when I paint from arena you don't want see lines how do cover the lines from different colours

[@ALLJArt]

Do you mean the line from the printed canvas or the definition from the different sections? If it's from the printed canvas you just have to paint a layer wait for it to dry and then paint kore until the line are gone. If you want to blend it so it's not as blocky, it's a bit kore difficult as it's acrylic and dries fast, you would have to paint the area you want to blend one after the other and just blend them into each other. I hope this answers your question, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

These are water soluble right? so doing the darkest first make sense...

[@ALLJArt]

Well it's acrylic paint so yes 😊

[@Miss_Art_Lover7]

Do you have any video tips?

[@ALLJArt]

Uh what kinda tips? like how to make them, what to use?

[@ronnyrussell7]

When painting, do you intentionally try to either smooth out the paint in the particular section you are painting or do you tend to leave it uneven? I find myself trying to smooth out my paints in the individually sections thus causing over painting into other sections sometimes by accident.

[@ALLJArt]

I sometimes catch myself trying to smooth it out but I tend to just be really quick with it, lay down one stroke and if I missed a bit, make sure to get that part but not to over paint. I prefer the rough look. :)

[@ALLJArt]

Oh that's weird I thought all of them would be framed
