I just wanted to post a picture of where I am before I put it away for a bit. I always finish one before going to a new one but a new one for me to paint for our LR arrives today.
Some of you mentioned you wanted to see my work on the kitty. It was misnumbered so I had to redo and put white over the grey and add details in white.
The second photo is what it first looked like.
I had been wanting this PBN from Amazon for a LONG time. Finally ordered it so I could get it done for winter as I have others in the way.
I was really getting into it! Smooth paints, nice coverage, I painted the cat's body first. I was having fun and continued with the face not realizing the colors were wrong! Such a stupid thing on my part!
First photo is from the seller, second photo is the huge oops! And third photo is me trying to fix it.
Have you ever done this? I'll finish more of the white on the cat after I do some background. Any tips? Thank you!
Oh my goodness I did not post the painting! Here's my copy/paste from my original and I will try and take that one down.
PASTE: Finished a Paintly set
If you read my previous post you know I ordered this back in November. Still, the paints were wonderful to work with!
I substituted 2 colors with exact colors from previous kits because I could see through them. The others covered in one coat, even the white! The paint was very smooth and I used the included brushes. I ordered it stretched on a frame.
Customer service reached out and contacted me, even though I had no problems, which was nice.
When I was done I felt there was way too much florescent green so I used the three other greens to create leaves and break up that color. I still felt that bright green was too much so I went over it with one coat of Minwax Early American color and wiped it off immediately.
For the sides I used 6 different colors of brown leftover from kits and mixed them with a ton of water.
I'm happy with it and I hope you like it

The paints re: Paintly
This is my WIP. Although I originally posted under a different post that I did not like my Paintly paints, I have to retract that. Of 24 colors only 3 so far have allowed the numbers to show through. All the others have covered in ONE coat!!
The three that did not cover? I subbed in pots I had on hand. So far there are only two colors that I have changed or will change.
I bought this before Thanksgiving which is toward the end of November. None of the pots were dried out when opened and the paints glide on smoothly.
How great to have coverage with just one coat!
