Does 21/30 mean I have to mix those two colours? The packet shows a dark brown but doesn't contain a paint of that colour, which is stupid.

I don't know but fascinated if someone does!

I would imagine so! Doesn't it say anything in the destructions?

Maybe, it's a lifetime since I did one of those to remember the rules.

Do all of the single colours first.

When it comes to the ones written as fractions, get an old plate and a bit of white paper.
Mix a tiny bit of the suggested two colours together to see if it goes well with what's already there.

Otherwise, just use whichever colours you want to in those spaces.

Does it not mean either would work but choose one?

I will post it when it's done but it's being painted by a 7 year old so lower your expectations please.

@Annunaki did you paint that? It is amazing!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 09/05/2019 22:20

I’m waiting for my paint by numbers to arrive, tomorrow hopefully! A rainy, dark London scene which makes me feel cosy, and I’ve been watching YouTube tips videos 😄 thanks for the inspiration OP I’m honestly so excited!

@Annunaki I would love to do one but don't have much free time at the moment. Might have a look on Amazon for a simpler one.

Aaaaw this has brought back some lovely memories. I used to spend most of my school holidays with my amazing Gparents and Gran would get me a painting by numbers set every summer. Plus an Airfix model which also had to be painted. She had a 'special' summer house set aside for my activities.
