Excellent demonstration, thank you so much Melanie B!

I like the blend it looks better than the sharp colour edges

my paints have dried up in their containers. How do I thin them out. Water dosen't work.

How long did this take you.. just ordered some kits to do one for my man a kinda woodsy one and 2 custom ones... excited for them to arrive.. do you use gesso on your to prime? I read that it helps with white spotting on canvas and dries clear? Saves on paint too? Thoughts? Ty for sharing

The only additional thing I would like to have seen was the painting from 3 feet back as you did initially. Helpful tutoria though. Thank you.

I need help! I bought a table on legs and wheels. It tilts any way I want..so I tilted it so my neck won’t hurt from bending. But now my hand go tingly cos my wrist is bent slightly! I can’t win. What’s your advice to not hurt your neck or back when painting ? Thanks

What are the screws and metallic pieces that come along with the brushes?

It's supposed to be stretched before its painted so the paint doesn't Crack and it's taught

I absolutely love doing adult paint by numbers. I started off buying them at Michaels. Pretty cheap with the coupon. I burned through every good one they had. I’ve even changed the background colors on a few by mixing paints. I have like a little studio set up in my dining room. Even went out and bought a big easel to make it easier. I can spend several hours a day painting. I really enjoy it. I cut my paint pots apart and line them up by number. I also take a larger square head brush and scoop all the paint of out the lid and put it down unto the container then tap it a few times on the table to settle it. When I paint I leave thicker portions and move on. I want the finished product to have texture for authenticity. If I’m working with the same number for an extended period of time I hold it while I paint and use my finger to close the lid between dipping. And when my paints seem a little thicker I put a couple of drops on top of the paint and swirl my brush on the sides to mix as I go.

Thank you.

What about the numbers?

So helpful!!

Thank you so much for this video! I did my first PBN last week and had clue how awesome it is and also how difficult it is when you do not know a thing about painting. Thank you! I am going to try this today!

I tried gesso after watching one of your videos. Wow! What an improvement that made! Many thanks for that tip. Never again will I paint without gessoing the surface first

A sad thing happened .. I couldn't see , but I wanted to , and out of nowhere someone threw me a bone . The other dogs were so impressed, by what IT, I did it again!

Why don’t you just mix the 2 together?

I was catfished here by paintplot. When I read Mel B I was expecting Mel B Scary spice. Not that I have anything against this Mel b she seems lovely

U should do a paint and chat. I could watch ur videos all day so relaxing and give out a positive energy😊

No estal como dicen lo vidio no es así luego te en cuenta con otra cosa pero está jente viven de esto

I've just started this painting, cannot wait to see it finished 🥰

Hi Melanie: I was desperate since I did a paint by numbers seascape and the sea part is good but the sky is patchy. This solves my problem and I am so grateful to you for providing this wonderful technique. You're the VERY BEST!!!

if you are right handed start on the left, its what she said , right.. then why is she starting on the right

It is a shame you did not show the tools in use, this would have been more useful and we could see if we would agree with you. All you have truly done - is sit in front of a paint by number and then tell us what you think. This is on the same line as reading it. Sorry but not very useful - the only thing you showed was the flow and two drops. Telling about the clear gesso was useful - how ever you could have shown how the little brushes worked better in to the small areas - you could have shown the easel in use - how it holds the painting - the magnifying glass x how it sits and how easy it is to us with out being in the way. All this shows was you partnered with - but you use them? so how can I trust what you have said. This could have been very useful video. Which would have just pushed me over to buy, for I am looking at taking paint by numbers on as a stress release hobby. I could have felt yes, this is worth the money. But this has left me with - more questions then answers. What a shame.

Glad I found this one with you on it & this looks more possible mixing the two together & have mid color! Ty

By the way you have put the canvas on incorrectly on the frame ..the raised lip goes against the canvas not the way you put it it

That was the best way of blending of all the ones I saw on UTube. Thanks I’ll try it!

This was such a positive take on the whole process. Thank you!

Thank u for the tip ♥️♥️♥️

How did you choose the colors in the photo?

Hi Paint Plot your canvas, paint, brushes, packaging and delivery are good but please make your numbers ALL readable. I struggled so much finding the colours as some numbers couldn’t be recognized even if I wore eye glasses and I used a magnifying glass. I ordered one and could have ordered more if all the numbers are readable.

Thank you ,I am enlighten 😊

It’s a shame you don’t get enough paint to be able to do blending! Never have enough paint to start with let alone extra for blending! Maybe if the pots were full rather than quarter or half full you maybe able.

Do you wait for the gesso to dry or complete it wet?

Thank you so much for this video, very helpful

These people forget that when people buy these kits they don’t expect that they need to do all this prep to the canvas before you start painting. Let’s be honest this is marketing at its best!!! The paint is not high quality and no matter what you do to it you will always have issues with it. I personally use my own artists paint to complete these kits. Once bitten never again!! lol. So people please be aware when you watch these videos. They are out to make money not look after you as a painter!!

Thank you for sharing

This looks like a do-able technique for a newbie like me. I may give it a try on my first painting, which has a sky in the background. Thanks!

Awesome tip!!!! Thank you!

Thanks for that. I am waiting for my picture to arrive. I cant wait. I will definitely use this technique.

Wuooo está geniaaal D:

Thankyou...you make it look easy...i am just starting out so will be giving this a try!

Think the tip that surprised me the most and it’s the Flow-Aid as won’t change your paint color like water does! Tyvm 💜

These are So different than the kits from fifty years ago, lol!

Hi, Melanie! Thanks for your videos 🧡 and I have a question for you. I am STILL on my first Paint by Number. (In trying to clean my readers (glasses) I found myself constantly cleaning the lens….after several weeks & noticing it was getting more & more dirty (was I to get all new readers?) I found an opthamologist who was also a diagnostician…she said after my exam, “Have you been taking steroids?” I said, 👍🏼 yes, how did you know? (I’ve been sick 1.5 years with some 8 different infections ~ sinusitis & now respiratory problems. She said steroids caused my cataracts ! I said “which ones?”.:without hesitation she said , “All of them”. My next stop is the surgeon. And while I’m better except for the respiratory part, my eyes 👀 are getting worse so (especially the left ) so I’m not able to paint long every day. The other side isn’t as bad..it just gets tired & strained so I have to quit. I want to finish my first painting. Still love ❤️ it. Question: I bought ALL your recommended brushes. How long are they supposed to last? They are fraying, some no longer form a tip (well lots to be truthful). Am I being to heavy handed? Am I not cleaning them well? I’ve been using your rubber pots with the discs in them…is that too hard on them? Am I loading too much paint on them? You know all the tricks …if you get time, I am here to learn from the best. Well wishes from my heart ❤️ to yours, my mentor.

My mum bought me my first paint my numbers an it is going amazing so far

this canvas isn't stretched... it's just attached to the frame. lame...

Great video

So helpful,

What a beautiful video, really. Thank you, Melanie. 🎨

Can you glue the frame together and glue the canvas on to the frame so you have a better stronger finish? (My first time doing a pbn)
