I showed this in another thread, but wanted to keep my artwork together. So I added it here.

I love this one.

This was one of my first paint-by-number paintings in acrylic. I have it hanging in the den.

Another paint-by-number that I did, but this one gave me difficulties because of the vase with the figures, lol. How much to show? I was discreet! (BTW, the painting did not show as clear as the real image when I took this picture)

As you can see, I like to paint water scenes with the paint-by-number paintings. I find these on Amazon, and then it takes me 3-4 weeks to finish. Then another 2-3 weeks to add the little details I call my own.

Lovely paintings! You are a woman of many talents.

 

[palides2021]

This was one of my first paint-by-number paintings. I loved the colors so much! I enjoyed painting this and spent almost two months perfecting it.

 

[palides2021]

This is another one of my favorite paint-by numbers using acrylic paints! I just loved the serene atmosphere. I dream about being the woman in this setting as I paint. This painting also took me longer. The more I love a painting, the more time spent to get it the way I want to.

Another early paint-by-number acrylic painting I did. This was a little challenging, but at some point, I decided to stop.

[palides2021]

I think this was one of my finest paint-by-number acrylic paintings. I spent around 3-4 months perfecting it, particularly the columns and the architecture.

 

[palides2021]

I decided to have this paint-by-number acrylic painting framed, but this was the only one I framed. Again, I liked painting the Mediterranean water scenes. It's relaxing to paint these scenes.

 

[palides2021]

This paint-by-number acrylic painting was also time consuming, especially getting the columns and buildings and windows right, but I had fun doing it! I wish I can paint like this without the numbers, but they give me the foundation that I can work from and then stamp my own identity on them. Also, the paints are already premixed and I have kept them to use on other paintings.

Another paint-by-number acrylic that I did. I went around the house taking photos of all of them to share with you. I think the flash from the camera washed out some colors in this painting. I have about 14 acrylic paintings (I gave a few away). All these paintings came from Amazon. This was one of the earlier ones. I am grateful to those artists who made this easy for amateurs like me eager to paint.

I love this one.

Thank you, @Alizerine ! I enjoyed painting it.

Thank you, @Pinky! I enjoy creating!

Patty, you have a wonderful talent, thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you, @timoc! I think my persistence is probably stronger than my talent, haha!

I have placed this acrylic painting I did in one of the bathrooms. Again, paint-by-number. This one also took considerable more time, especially working on the fine details like the paved road, the trees, etc. When I focused on where the light came in, that helped, so I was able to emphasize the light and dark colors more, making it more realistic, if that makes sense.

All very nice. My father's sister was an artist, good enough to give exhibitions and teach, but I didn't inherit any talent in that area.

 

[hearlady]

Oh, so pretty!

 

[palides2021]

This acrylic painting hangs over my desk. It was one of my later paintings before I stopped doing them (when I got busy with my studies!). What happens with paint-by-number is that once you paint over all the numbers, then that's where the fun begins. Without the numbers to guide you, you start adding your own colors to make the painting your own.

Thank you, @debodun! I don't have any artists in my family, but I enjoy art! This enjoyment is what spurs me on to complete these art projects and the process of completion brings me pleasure.
