Master these techniques to improve your paint-by-numbers results
Apply a second color while the first is still wet. Use a clean brush to gently blend where the colors meet. Creates smooth gradients perfect for skies and water.
Use very little paint on a dry brush with quick strokes. Creates a textured, scratchy effect ideal for grass, fur, or adding highlights over dried paint.
Dab the brush straight down rather than stroking. Build up color gradually with tiny dots. Perfect for creating foliage, stone textures, and pointillist effects.
Apply thin, transparent layers of paint over dried layers. Each layer modifies the color beneath. Creates depth and luminosity impossible with single opaque coats.
Use a fine-tipped brush for edges between numbered sections. Paint the outline first, then fill in. This gives clean, professional-looking boundaries.
Warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) advance visually, while cool colors (blues, greens, purples) recede. Use this knowledge to add depth to your paintings.
