Premium Paint By Numbers Kit Review and Giveaway 

Are you a wannabe artist who wants to try painting? Or, with all the time you've been spending at home lately due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, are you (or do you know someone else) looking for a new hobby, a relaxing and calming diversion? Seeking to create something new that will amaze all your family and friends?  Then Winnie's Picks, which offers both ready-to-paint and custom-made quality paint by number sets available worldwide online, might be just the thing to get you started with a new DIY pastime. 

Winnie's Picks Custom Painting Set from Photo

Winnie's Picks paint by numbers are fun and simple enough to use and enjoy. They're easy for art-challenged beginner adults and older kids, but intricate enough to prevent more skilled crafters from getting bored while they paint. Each painting is detailed, so it is not just a quick activity. The intricacies of this kit make for a more prolonged activity which is a great way to pass the time, get lost in your project, and enjoy some quiet creative time. 

Each set is different, varying in difficulty. For example, the canvas which I've been working on for this review is simple, yet it has many smaller areas to fill with paint, leading to a finished product that has a more professional artist look.

Ready-Made and Custom Designed Art Sets

Choose from the wide variety of ready-made Winnie's Picks kits available -- there's an art style here for every taste. Alternately, if you prefer, they'll turn a personal digital photograph into a customized paint-by-numbers canvas set using your image. This is a great gift for yourself or as a thoughtful present for a loved one. 

Either way, each kit includes a quality canvas with the image broken down into numbers, paints in small resealable cups labeled by number for easy matching to the canvas, and three brushes in different sizes. 

Winnie's Picks Premium Adult Paint by Number Set

The acrylic paints in each set (ranging from 20 to 36 colors, depending on the kit ordered), are numbered and packaged in resealable containers, which means they will not dry out after a single use. But, just to be sure, I advise against opening the paints and then letting them sit for months without using, as that amount of time may dry out the paints. Based on my experience with the kit I received for this review, there is more than enough paint for the whole project, even if you paint two or three layers. 

You will also receive a smaller piece of paper with the same image broken down into numbered sections. This handy guide will help you with painting and it may be used as a reference for a section you've already colored in or to get an idea of what the whole image will look like when your painting is complete.

Every Winnie's Picks painting set arrives on your doorstep, rolled up in a beautiful, brightly decorated cylinder which is slim enough for easy storage until you are ready to get started on your project. The rugged cardboard tube is a great place to store the paints, brushes and painting guide while you are not using them. 

The canvas is packed and shipped rolled, not folded, so this eliminates creases and wrinkles in your canvas. As it is not a stretched canvas on a wooden frame, you will need to tape it to something firm  (like cardboard or a flat canvas) before painting. I used the back of a flat canvas I already had at home, and I have been painting on an easel, although you can just as well paint on a table or other flat surface as well.
