Completed lighthouse paper tole. There is lots of wiring and extra supports to achieve the shapes and layering without excessive silicone use. The lighthouse has plastic behind the lens windows & the railing is constructed from animal whisker fibres. I wasn’t sure how well a photo would illustrate the nature of a paper tole work,…

Inching closer to completion. The copious amounts of mid-ground foliage have been placed & some work started on the foreground fence.
-
Foliage, rowboat, & distant fence added in. I also extracted & prepped the mid-ground fence.

Non-zero progress, but golly this is fiddly.

I have encountered the issue where I can’t discern between the dark browns. My partner can, but as soon as I lay down a new dark next to a dark colour I have no idea which area needs a second coat. 😖

This is the last paint-by-numbers I got on sale many years ago, when I first decided to try the kits out. It’s also probably the most complicated. I’m hoping I really like it when finished as I remember I got it because the design seemed so nice at distance.

Aaaaaand, it’s done! Gotta wait for the sealant to dry, then I can get it all framed up.

Been working on another paint by numbers intermittently over the last few weeks. It’s interesting seeing the perspective and shapes develop as each section gets blocked in.

Completed paint by numbers of ‘happy’ Venice. Most people don’t varnish these, but I decided to put on a thick coat of JoSonja’s gloss varnish, which I think has generally evened the painting out plus given the canvas some extra stiffness.

Some more progress on the paint by numbers. I’m finding it is really incredibly fiddly and times consuming to do, needing many breaks in-between sections for both drying time as well as preventing neck/hand cramps/eye strain. I’m glad I bought a few more on the sales last year, but I don’t think this is something…
