I love Wander Painting

I absolutely love each and every purchase from them. The site is so easy to navigate. The communication from the seller is excellent. If you can't find a painting here then it doesn't exist. That's the only problem, there's so many to choose from. I'll order a painting And I find myself already making a list for my next purchase. I definitely recommend this seller.

Purrfectly wonderful kit

This pbn was super fun to paint. The canvas is nice. Tha paints cover really well, even the lights and yellows. The paint colors are accurate to the website photo and the included color guide. The b/w line and number guide is full sized, so easy to read. The cell lines and numbers are accurate. Their customer service gets an A++ for helping me the a postal service error. I'll be ordering more from Wander Painting.

Stained Glass Phoenix

★★★★☆

I received the Stained Glass Phoenix canvas from Wander Painting as a gift and was really impressed with the overall quality. The canvas arrived rolled instead of creased, which made a huge difference in how easy it was to work on and display. The design is beautiful and the paints were vibrant. My only small complaint is that there could have been a second pot of #8 paint, as that color ran low before I finished. Otherwise, it was a great gift and a very enjoyable project.

Absolutely love it.

I ordered 2 Hand of God diamond dot. One to donate to my church and one to keep for me. I absolutely love how they have turned out when finished. I am so excited to donate one to my church.

Can’t wait to do more

Challenging but effective way to relieve stress. Wish I had ordered a frame, but gave me an excuse to get some more American Legends to paint.

Great Basin NP Reimagined

I really enjoyed doing my first Wander Painting! I feel like it turned on a section of my brain that had been asleep for too long. I made this my own and added more detail that I needed for myself. I am very familiar with the vegetation of Nevada and loved adding details that I was missing. Can’t wait to choose and start another one!

Great product and company

I couldn't help myself when I saw the Facebook ad for national park posters in paint-by-numbers that I'd loved as a kid. The company was great after I had unending trouble with the delivery "service." Kits were nicely packed with cool brushes, but I was happier buying thin, stiff brushes to handle intricate stuff. I applied masking tape around the edges to make them neater. I tried clear acrylic gesso that someone suggested but it didn't improve anything for me. The kit is absorbing more than relaxing, so I had to start the second one two days after I finished the first. There is a learning curve, so it's best to start with large sections on kits with less intricacy. I might choose the basic kits instead of the regular ones and certainly wouldn't need the extra color ones. Just take your time, be patient, and don't stress because it will never be perfect. This is a satisfying activity, not an art.

My 25th painting from Wander

What a pleasure to paint Lake Tahoe. Loved the reflections in the water of the lake of the mountain and trees. Have skied at Tahoe and stayed by the lake whcih made it more meaningful. Can't wait to start my next project!

This was a blast

My mom and I are big national parks fans and she got us both paint by numbers kits, it was a ton of fun to work on together.

Halloween Fun

I took advantage of the free Halloween kit and I’m so appreciative. The mini kit was fun and quick to do and I just love the result. I received the kit within a week or so, and it arrived in good condition. I highly recommend these kits.

I enjoyed painting this. It’s been a while since I held a brush in my hand so this was a great way to break the ice. It’s stress free as well. Shipping is a bit slow but worth the wait.

Wondrous and gorgeous

I love the way this painting turned out. Soothing and therapeutic. I can’t wait to display it.

First paint by number

Shipping took a bit of time but I’m very pleased with my purchase. It’s my first paint by number so I didn’t know what to expect. Plenty of paint, easy to read.
I’m planning on doing a full wall of my family’s favorite vacations so I’m excited that this company has so many other destinations to choose from.

I love these. Better than doomscrolling!

Great way to relax and reminisce about my time in the National Parks. I am a real customer and not some AI fake. I don’t often review things, but I really enjoy doing these.

I bought the Costa Rica painting and I cannot wait to finish it!

I visited CR in July, and I have been working on the painting for a few weeks now. This was my first order with Wander Painting, and I love how clear the print is as well as the consistency of the paints. This will definitely not be my last order! #HappyPainting

Love My Pic of Costa Rica

I was in receipt of my Costa Rica PBN last week and have already started it! I cannot wait to finish it. The paints are the perfect hue and consistency, and I will most likely have it professionally framed. I purchased the painting while in CR as the view from the pool at the resort I stayed looked just like this.

Pictures are wonderful, but the frame isn't

I finished 3 paintings without frames for our home. Next time I ordered three more paintings, with a DYI frame included on each. What a disppointment, I would have to cut off a good part of the picture if I framed it. DO NOT order frames! I wasted $30 on frames that I won't utilize.

So much fun!

Loved painting this! Turned out beautiful and I can’t wait to start the next one.

So much fun and very relaxing!

This was my second Wanderpainting kit (I chose the Zion National Park painting) and won't be the last! I have no regrets, quite the opposite. The whole experience was great, from start to finish! The kit arrived well packaged and had everything needed for completing the project. Wanderpainting emails kept me updated on my order which I appreciate.
Now to the actual painting - I am super happy 😊 with the outcome, it turned out really well!
What I did differently compared to my first Wander painting (which led to much better end results):
I applied clear Gesso to the canvas and let it dry for 24 hours. There are YouTube videos out there on how to do this. It's so worth it! It prevents these darn white spots on your canvas (once your paint dries) and it makes the canvas easier to paint (it adds some "tooth" to the canvas). You will only need a small amount of Gesso so it will last for quite a while for future paintings, well worth the purchase.
Prior to painting, I diluted and stirred the paint well until the consistency was nice and fluid (didn't do that with my first one and had chunky paint on the canvas, less than ideal). Due to the paint's thickness, I recommend adding either a couple of drops of water or a Flow Aid product and stir the paint with a toothpick until it's fluid so you can easily move the paint brush around. If you paint all cells of one color during one paint session, you might have to continue this process since the paint in the pod thickens up quickly. As for coverage, some of the lighter colors will require an additional coat of paint to cover the numbers but this appears to be common across the board with all PBN vendors. I usually apply 2 layers to the painted cells anyway since it looks more vibrant than just one layer.
Another thing I found out along the way is that it might be better to get the DIY framed version. I had my first painting framed and in order to get the frame I wanted, I "lost" a few millimeters all around the painting to avoid showing the "white" of the canvas. To bypass losing a few millimeters all around is either to get the framed version and continue the paint on the sides of the canvas or continue to paint on the white frame outside of the lines before bringing the painting to a frame shop. Lesson learned! But regardless, I still love how my first painting, Saguaro National Park, turned out, despite the chunky paint 😁.
Last, not least, I absolutely love Wanderpainting's selection of National Parks, National Monuments etc. The designs are unique and beautiful and can't be found elsewhere, I'm hooked!

Paint By Number for Sanity

These paint by numbers of the National Parks are not only beautiful when you finish, they help you to unwind, to clear your mind, to be calm. And the company is top drawer. Very helpful. I ordered the wrong thing once and the company fixed it for me without me having to repurchase the right things. I was impressed with that kind of customer care. Here’s Mesa Verde that I just finished!
