Royal & Langnickel Paint Your Own Masterpiece Painting Set, Cafe Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Want to paint but don't know how to begin? The company that puts out these products, Famous Art Kits, offers a unique instructive opportunity. The canvases they send are of well-known masterpieces, such as Van Gogh's Sunflowers, Klimt's The Kiss, with only a pre-printed minimal of outlines. Each is "inspired by the paintings" and comes with a booklet discussing what colors go where, and which to paint first. Acrylic paints and brush are included. These kits are "not an exact copy, but as a beautiful and personal tribute to the great artist". .

I can't believe I wasted 10 minuets of my life with this ridiculous thing! It seemed like a nice little to project to relax with at the end of the day. This was the most irritating "masterpiece" ever! First of all, the directions are a mess in the little pamphlet, I didn't know where to begin. It makes is seem like a clear coat goes down first because they refer to the paint as "color glaze"... it's just super cheap, thin, sort-of acrylic paint. It instructs you to gently SCRUB the color into the AREAS of the gray scale canvas. What? The paint brushes included are the size of kindergarteners brushes, make out of something like brittle horse hair that falls out and breaks off all over the picture.

This whole thing is just scrubbing and scraping really thin cheap paint over a shadow of an image, so you can see through the paint, and see the weird little picture under it. This is supposed to look good? Seriously, just buy a paint by number, they look fantastic compared to this!
