2.0 out of 5 stars printing on canvas boards pale, December 5, 2005

mrsbob1955 "Patricia" (Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paint By Number Kit: Everything You Need to Re-Create 8 Vintage Masterpieces (Paperback)

This would be a great paint by number kit if one could see the outlines of the picture on each board. It is so light you can hardly see the picture and the numbers for painting the masterpieces are completely unreadable. If anyone else has run across this please let Amazon know so they can fix this problem as I love paint by number kits.
I have run across this same problem with the Workman paint by number calendars also and quit buying them.
I will have to send this kit back as it is unusable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but small, July 1, 2007

estelle (New York State) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Paint By Number Kit: Everything You Need to Re-Create 8 Vintage Masterpieces (Paperback)

I didn't have a problem with the printing I thought that was fine but the paintings are only about 4"x6" while I was expecting about 12"x20".

1.0 out of 5 stars Just awful!, September 14, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Paint By Number Kit: Everything You Need to Re-Create 8 Vintage Masterpieces (Paperback)

If you are thinking of buying this, please don't! Half the paints in the kit I received are dried up; which sucks, because most of the pictures require you to mix colors together. I started painting the clown face and went to open another paint pot and found it all dried out and then another. I should have listened to the other reviewer on this product and not purchased it....and the pictures are VERY tiny and VERY hard to see.....completely disappointed.
