Valentine’s Day is coming up quick already. There are only a couple of weeks left before it’s here. How many of you usually do something on Valentine’s Day? My husband and I normally just stay home and watch movies together. We honestly don’t go out very much. I love to treat my girls to something for Valentine’s Day though. I think it’s a fun day for them, and they enjoy getting surprises. Who doesn’t, right?!
If you are still thinking of getting someone a gift, Gifted Custom Art has a great product for anyone. You’re able to get your own photo printed out on a canvas. Then you get to paint the canvas. The fun part for me was that it was a paint by number type painting. They had numbers 1-5 on different pieces of the painting. You’re able to paint with five different colors. They have a nice color palette that helps out with that. I went with a purple color at first, but once I received my canvas, I ended up doing something completely different. I ended up going with different kinds of colors instead of using all different shades of purple. I like to do things differently, and I’m glad I did.
Of course I went with a photo of my daughters. This is one of my favorite photos of my daughters. It shows their funny side, which I love a lot about them. I love it when they bring out the humor in things. I just knew I had to have this piece up on my wall. Being able to paint it myself was even better.
I was very excited to see the canvas when it arrived. You may think that you’ll be able to see all those numbers after you paint, but you won’t. You may end up having to paint a couple of coats, but you won’t see those numbers. Some of the colors I had were lighter so those were usually the ones that I had to put more than one coat on.
You can see the numbers very clearly on the canvas. They do have a few papers that come with the canvas to help you. Sometimes you may not see these numbers as well as others. In some of those small spots it’s harder to see. One of the papers that comes with it has the whole photo on it and will show you them in black and white and you can see which colors should go where.
I started with my darkest colors first. Those go with the highest number, which is five. That means I took my dark purple paint and I painted in all the number fives with that. You want to start out with your darker colors first, so start with the highest number first.
I’ve been taking my time on this, and I have a lot to paint yet as well as doing a lot of touch ups. It’s a lot of fun doing this because it reminds me of the paint by numbers I did as a child. My girls love to do those as well. I love to paint, so this was a great piece for me. Now I get to also hang it up on the wall which is even better.
If you haven’t found a gift for Valentine’s Day yet, this would make a wonderful gift. I think it’s a great gift for any occasion as well. I know that my mother would appreciate a gift like this for Mother’s Day as well. Make sure to check out Gifted Custom Art for more information about getting your very own canvas.
