...my very first (and possibly only!) colour-by-numbers masterpiece 🤷
Thanks, Zoonie... Took me forever...
I suspect I shall stick with Scrabble!

Very beautiful
Well worth the effort
It kind of painted itself in the end!
Well done! Me thinks this would go well as an illustration in a magical story. Its the sort of house every little boy or girl would love to live in.
Cheers

Chrys, I was drawn to the outline because it's vaguely Christmassy (in my head, anyway) - my favourite time of year... and - like you - I totally see the fairy tale quality of the vignette 
Took ages, though! xx
Well done ! It's so striking!
I'm glad you think so! It was a very forgiving piece: painted itself!
That is actually really really good.

I am actually really really pleased you think so
in reply to TheDrivenSnow
I am actually really really happy about that 😊
That looks great, I really need to start doing something like that x
Give it a go!
Not normally my sort of thing at all. I surprised myself!
You can, too xx
I was tempted to give up half-way through. Stuck with it, though, and - as you say - it sort of concentrates the mind and helps you relax and forget about all the nonsense around us.
Not sure I'll do another one today... Possibly tomorrow...
Thanks for pointing me in its direction xXx
I am such a technophobe (according to my children, anyway) that I never think of researching this kind of thing, so when Zoonie alerted me to it, I was pleasantly surprised
As per!
Did you do that on paper? It really reminds me of a traditional Christmas card, my favourite time of year too xx
All done via an app called Oil Painting (by Colour Planet) that Zoonie suggested to me. Amazing what technology can do! xx

Wow it looks great, Zoonie could have started a trend. xx
I shall look forward to seeing yours 🥰
I'll go over the lines, might give it a go though. xxx
Lovely. Well done! Did you use gouache paints?
Very calming.
All virtually done. Absolutely amazing what tech can do 😳
Oops! It fooled me! Great! I’m too used to my old paintbrushes and palettes! Will get myself updated now that I’m stuck indoors. I’m learning Coding online. It’s great! Like another language. Keep at those pictures, you are a natural x
*shudder* I did some coding back in the day... I had to apply the logical bit of my brain. That did not end well! Glad you're enjoying it, though. I expect it is entirely different now: I'm talking about coding back in the early-to-mid 1980s!
You're very kind 🥰
What! Me too but I don’t remember a thing! I think the guy that taught me then was more techie than teacher and no one knew what he was trying to explain! It is all a bit clearer now and less weird. Anyway, back to your picture. I am sure everyone here is looking forward to seeing the next one.
You're very kind, but I sincerely doubt that! Not sure my creative skills extend to the visual arts!
Was this painted, it looks good, I do adult colouring sometimes with numbers . Last week I fell asleep while doing it, as I am an insomniac, and the pen went hrough several pages. I still carried on regardless. It keeps me busy, passes the time.
I'm beginning to think I ought to have actually painted something with actual oils or acrylics rather than do it all with the help of an app. All I did was to click away!
I'd be interested to see what you've created... Why not post it here?
Hi, I'm still working on having a go soon x
I'm looking forward to seeing yours... xx

You've done really well though
Tech really does make everything so much easier!
It may have taken you a But what a great result and you can print it put it the wall for ever so time is relevant to result.
I really like it .
It has a quite mystical calm charm.
That makes me want to be there, so Nice x
I know what you mean: for me, it has this wintry, Christmassy quality - my favourite time of year Yet it also reminds me of what I imagine Heidi's setting to have been (another favourite)
Somehow it looks warm there, even with the Christmas feel,
I think its great I am given to wonder about. They say you can tell the artist by their brush strokes and no 2 are the same. I ponder if it the same with digital painting by numbers.
As you have given the picture something other that just filling in the spaces. It is quite lovely to look at x😍
I was drawn to the bare bones of the piece in part because of the isolation of the hut/lodge: there's a warm glow in the window that I find particularly attractive. I'd like to trudge through the snow to the door, be allowed inside and make my way to the fire, newly stoked; I'd sit on the hearthrug while the flames leapt high, inviting me to linger a while and take in a little winter mirth and serenity - and a fortifying brew 
Heaven! x
You put the warmth in the window for sure x
