I finally finished it and managed to f up by putting a jar with paint on the bottom on it.
But since this will go into the stash, no one cares. Also I am so disappointed by the obvious AI usage on this piece.. I always thought Schipper was better than this.
This has taken forever to get this far, yet still so far away from finishing. This one was much more challenging than my first one in the sense that the paint is not flowing as easily and feeling clumpy. One color is completely empty and I still have a ton more to paint in that color. 😬😬 Also, the light purple shade looks more beige.
Being in this group and reading tips, looks like i need some gesso if I do another. Perhaps some flow aid and better brushes will help as well. While I have a couple more unopened PBNs, I’m not sure I’ll ever get to them. This one has sucked all the fun out of PBNs for me! 🤣😂
Any tips are appreciated!
It took me a long time to finish it but it is so worth it! I also bought original Schipper silver frames they were a bit pricey considering they cost almost as much as the pbn but the dimensions are such that there arent any much cheaper options. Its not canvas but cardboard material which at first I didnt like and felt disappointed but then i started liking it for the "silence" of scraping with dotting tools which annoyed me with canvas hahah

I started timing this one. Its from Paintlykits. 36 colours.
I made the mistake of thinking a smaller canvas meant a simplified design. Not so.
I had to buy a set of liner brushes for this!
Is there an "enforced" posting protocol that PBN follows? It would be so helpful if posters put info on where they got their piece from in their post. Are there any anti-AI efforts being made in the sub? I'm used to how the cross-stitch sub use posting rules and was curious if there was any here. Thanks!

Since most of what I painted this week was very light colors, I painted lots of darker colors on the top part of the canvas this morning so it looks like I actually did something this week.
A month ago, I estimated that this would be done around the end of the month. Boy, was I wrong!
Hope everyone is having a great day. Show your progress so we can judge you (🤣).
An update on my work in progress. Not a lot of progress but still some.
Hey y’all ! I unfortunately had to make a new Reddit account because someone thought I was sooooo cool they decided to hack mine & more. 🤷🏻♀️😂. After a lot of password changing for EVERYTHING and crying I’m backkkk! lol
You might remember me from the couch llama in progress. Between work and my life being hacked away, painting has slowed down. So the more I get into this llama the more I realize certain parts are VERY AI. Our fav right?! Haha So I’m debating on keeping the “blinds” or whatever the stripes on the windows are behind the llama or painting them solid colors. I know I should probably wait till the very end to decide. 😬 I technically already didn’t follow the “correct” numbers for that part because it was bothering me. Anyways if you made it this far… Thanks!!! I missed this little community. 💕
Let’s all pray I don’t get hacked again, please and thank you. 🤦🏻♀️😂
This will be a beautiful pair for one of my favorite painting.

I haven't done a PBN since I was probably 8 years old, but now that my kids are finally old enough to entertain themselves and each other, I decided it was time to start up again. I taped it down on a piece of a Pull-Ups box so it would lay flat.
This is working up slowly. I’m finishing a disappointing custom PBN at the same time.
So this is my second attempt. The very light colors are challenging!
I finished this a few days ago, picked it to ease into more of a Fall vibe
Alternative title: Why is this so addictive?? I have spent every moment of my free time over the past week on this painting and cannot get enough. Already I have a backlog of paintings to complete!
Adding last week’s picture to show progress.
This is my first ever PBN by DIY art club. I would have loved to come to this Reddit community before I started because you all have given so many great pointers. Only stumbled upon it because I was curious how long this takes to complete. I’m 80 hours in, just need to finish the white. And this has all been done with 1 paint brush! I have some questions though… I noticed for one, the colors definitely don’t match up to the reference picture (photo 2). And the outlines for some spaces DEFINITELY don’t align with the reference photo, mostly in the leaves and flowers. Is this a normal occurrence? Should I not purchase from DIY art club?
Also I’ll happily take any tips/tricks. This has been a very humbling and addicting experience. I’m officially hooked!
I bought this magnifying lamp for my PBN projects, after seeing some of you all's posts about them.
Oh my God, the tiny numbers are now visible! How did I survive without this?
Here's mine:
