My 1st paint by numbers!

[Jesmcd2]

So I credit falalalala for this! Her painting was so beautiful! And I know I couldn't do that!!! But I could do something like this maybe...

So after searching around, I found this... Ordered.. my friend goes, make sure you get an easy one... 🤔 Oh.. well.. I don't do anything easy!😂🤣 Anyway... Here it is! 🤗💕👻

[falalalala]

Great job! The colors are beautiful!

Are they oil paints?

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Acrylic! 🤗💕👻

[falalalala in reply to Jesmcd2]

Much nicer IMO. No smell.

I think a fun one to do would be anything by Van Gogh-if they even offer them.

One of my booth neighbors at an art fair used to make miniature paintings of the old master's works.

The "canvas" was a ceramic tile about 2x1.5" set on a small wooden easel.I regret not buying or trading for one as they were charming

[erash in reply to falalalala]

We need to see more falalalala paintings

[erash in reply to erash]

Looks like the Northern Lights Jesmcd2

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to erash]

Yup it is erash ! Figured if I was going to do one, do one of home😂🤗💕🌠

[falalalala in reply to erash]

I've been busy making a mess with clay.

[Humbrd]

Awesome! So much fun. I ordered one a couple of months ago, started it, then put it away and forgot. I'll have to get it back out.

[Humbrd]

Forgot to say the one I got is very detailed and the numbers very small so it made it hard for me to see and paint in the tiny areas. Something to think about when ordering.

But I will try again as I really like how yours turned out. Nice job!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Humbrd]

Oh there were very very small spots that I'm not gonna lie got different colors!😂🤣 I used a flashlight to see some of them. Yikes! 🤗💕🌠

[Humbrd in reply to Jesmcd2]

Good idea, a flashlight 🔦, I have a light I use when I do hard to see crafts,💡 I'll have to get it out when I start it again. 😀

[erash]

It’s beautiful! Love the colors 🥰

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to erash]

[mm1527mm]

Love it!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to mm1527mm]

Thank You! 🤗💕🌠

[Ali_B62]

Lovely. You should have a good sense of achievement from it and - big bonus - when you do something that you get "flow" which takes your mind off all the weird stuff going on in the world. 🥰

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Ali_B62]

Thank you, and it does! I can just disappear into it, which is nice!🤗💕🌠

[Neworleanslady]

Nice! Looks like it takes patience

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Neworleanslady]

It takes Alot of saying, I don't have to finish it today, and if I don't want to today it's ok! So yup! 🤣😂🤣🤗💕🌠

[rjoneslaw]

kool i see u have patience for it

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to rjoneslaw]

There is Alot of cheating going on in the little part... Shhh don't tell! 🤣😂🤗💕🌠

[rjoneslaw in reply to Jesmcd2]

your secret is safe with me

[goatgal]

Very nice. And Ali_B62 is absolutely right on immersing ourselves in an activity (the flow she mentions). The concentration required to complete a painting or any other complex venture of this type requires the brain to use pathways we might not usually activate...and the world can disappear while we focus.

[goatgal]

And by the way, I truly dooly do admire your dexterity! I would never be able to control a brush to accomplish anything of that complexity. I'd be more a fling and spatter sort of painter.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to goatgal]

Yup you get in that zone... And jump 5ft when the phone rings!😨🤣😂 Then the fling and splatter painting starts! 😁🤗💕🌠

[NightmareBeforeMS]

Great job! I love the new paint by number kits that add shading and more detail and you did the kit justice! I have two kits to do (and several diamond art) but realized that I need to buy bifocals before I can do any of them, or find some cheap reading glasses in the correct strength until I can afford new glasses.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to NightmareBeforeMS]

Thank you NightmareBeforeMS 😁 I have done diamond art also! I just got bored. I get bored easily... 😂 So this was my new project. I hope you can find some glasses very soon!🤗💕🌠

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador]

That's paint by numbers, Jesmcd2 ? You did an awesome job!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to carolek572]

Like I could paint something in real life 😂🤣😂💕🌠

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Jesmcd2]

I bet that you can paint anything that isn't moving, Jesmcd2

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to carolek572]

🤣🤣😂🤣😂

[mrsmike9]

I like this! It has a poster vibe to it. Like a screen print. Very good!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to mrsmike9]

Yeah cause when I started I didn't know how to fix the paints🤣😂🤣 some of them were like toothpaste! 🙃 N thank you 🤗💕🌠

[twooldcrows]

great job but yes it looks hard so ya you did a good job....use to do when i was a kid many many years ago....fun...

[lbenmaor]

Fantastic! I love the colors. I would love to try this.

Leslie

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to lbenmaor]

You should do it then!! 🤗💕🌠

[lbenmaor in reply to Jesmcd2]

Thanks for the encouragement.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to lbenmaor]

lbenmaor that was my 1st one, I have another one that I'm going to do at some point.😊 I just looked on Amazon for one that I liked. It came with everything, although I did buy some brushes. Cheap! Check it out!! It can be very soothing!🤗💕🌠

[lbenmaor in reply to Jesmcd2]

Thanks. I am looking right now.

[lbenmaor in reply to lbenmaor]

I ordered one. Wish me luck!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to lbenmaor]

You don't need it! You will do awesome!😊 I can't wait to see it!🤗💕🌠

[lbenmaor in reply to Jesmcd2]

Thank you.😀

[lbenmaor in reply to Jesmcd2]

Jesmcd2,I received my paint by #s today. I realized I wasn't interested in painting so many small areas, rinse the brush off etc. so I donated it to the VVA.

Leslie

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to lbenmaor]

Aww, well it went to a good cause! There is diamond art! jimeka is amazing at it!! 🤗💕🌠

[jimeka in reply to Jesmcd2]

You are too 👍🤗🍫

[lbenmaor in reply to Jesmcd2]

It made me so happy to help others.😃😃
