How to Paint Your Custom Painting
1. Find Your Spot: Choose a clean, well-lit space and lay out your canvas, paints, brushes, and a cup of water.
2. Match Numbers to Colors: Each section on the canvas has a number. Use the matching paint pot, easy and no guesswork.
3. Start Smart: Begin with lighter colors or larger areas. It’s easier on the eyes and helps you build momentum.
4. Paint with Patience: Use a small amount of paint, go one section at a time, and don’t rush—details matter.
5. Clean as You Go: Rinse your brush between colors and close paint pots when not in use to keep them from drying.
6. Let It Dry & Show It Off: Once finished, let it dry fully. Then frame it or gift it—it’s your personal masterpiece.

Took me longer than a walk in the woods, but now my dog’s forever frozen mid-strut. Worth every brushstroke.

This one’s a total win—those pups look like royalty on their throne! The shading on the fur is smooth and well-blended, and the sofa’s subtle tones help the dogs stand out without distraction.
