Coleção: Horse Diamond Painting Collection

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!

I had a family photo from my childhood turned in to a Wander Painting kit. I was a bit skeptical. How would it work? What would I get? It worked really well. There is a lot of detail (Downside of detail is that there are some really small spaces to paint. Upside is that it produces a better end product.) I haven't quite finished the painting, but I'm uploading what I have so far. It gives a good idea of what the end result will be.

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!

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.

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

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.

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 visited Bruce National Park several years ago and I feel like Wander Painting caught it just right!

Just finished this beautiful Wander Painting of Tulips.

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

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!

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!

So far I have completed the Death Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, and Kings Canyon National Park paintings. All have been beautiful and fun to complete. The only thing is sometimes there’s not enough paint so I have to water it down a little bit to spread it out better and that has worked well for me so far. Now that I have completed three paintings sometimes I use paint from the older ones to complete as necessary. That is the only negative I have to say is the paint sometimes is not enough. But otherwise I am very happy with the product. All three I have ordered with frames and am mounting them as I am completing them. I will continue to purchase these paintings for the national parks I have visited. Happy customer!

I really enjoy these paint by number kits. To me they are very relaxing. Finished my 1st one, Mount Whitney, in about a month. It turned out so nice, I even framed it. Working on my 2nd one now, Saguaro National Park. It is going to be beautiful when completed.
