Faber-Castell Young Artist Paint By Number Kit Fairy Garden, Kids Watercolor Art Kit

My first grader and I both enjoyed working on this paint by number watercolor kit. There are 7 watercolor pencils that come with this kit, i.e. magenta, red, orange, yellow, green, teal, and blue. The watercolor pencils look very attractive and the colors are nice too, not that I would expect anything less from a premier brand such as Faber-Castell.There's a slip of paper included which indicates how the picture is to be colored, and the numbers are not too small either, which makes for convenient reading for my tired eyes! There's a square printed canvas, an artist paintbrush (though we used other brushes which we already had as well). The kit also comes with a black foam mounting board and adhesive to display the piece once it is finished.The difficulty level is beginner's - I worked on it with my daughter, but this is perhaps geared to ages 8 and up, depending on a child's control of the brush and technique.It does serve as a great introduction to using watercolor pencils though and you'd have a beautiful piece at the end!

I bought this for my 8 yo old son who loves to mix colors and paint. Although some areas were a bit tiny and hard to paint for his age, the directions were relatively easy to follow and he was able to replicate the cover photo. The painting actually took several hours to complete because we had to wait for some areas to dry before painting around them. It was a nice weekend project. As expected from Faber-Castell, the paint was high quality and opaque and the hardboard canvas was nice to paint on (he felt like a "real" artist). We wished there was a bit more paint to mix though. Overall, he loved the project and proudly displays it in his room. Great intro to Pop Art for my child.

I got this for my 10 year old daughter who loves to paint but doesn't love the mess. It was perfect. She was able to make a beautiful end product, which was fun to do. I'll be looking for more of these types of projects for her.

It takes a little practice to do the different shades of color(darker or lighter) if you are a beginner but it is very easy to figure out. I thought the colors overall looked bright and vibrant and really enjoyed finishing this. My 12 yr old twin girls loved the picture too.

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter for Christmas and the Peacock one for my 11 year old daughter. We had never worked with watercolor pencils before and even though the results were not perfect, the finished product came out beautiful and ready to hang. It was a fun to see them "create" their own works of art on real canvas. Great Product, Great Gift.

I started painting this for my young granddaughter. In my order the paints were so thin they’d needed two coats. I also didn’t want to have to mix colors. I’ve read great reviews. Maybe I just received a dud.

My 9-yo daughter is enjoying working on this picture. She comes back to it frequently. I'm anxious to see it finished, because the result will be very nice.Depending on the art skill of the child, the degrees of shading and mixing of the watercolor pencils can be confusing, but I think it's a great learning experience.The only thing I would change is to add more and different brushes for applying the water. Fortunately, we have them anyway and it makes adding the detail easier.

A gift for my 8-year old niece. She’s at an age where she loves all kinds of art supplies. This was a hit.
