I really enjoyed the set. The picture comes out, so pretty! I will say, there are some places where the numbers are impossible to read. There are a lot of very tiny regions to fill, so if you have impaired eyesight, maybe get a different set.

I've been painting with paint by numbers kits for over three years now, and needless to say have purchased dozens of kits. And by far, this the highest quality kit I've purchased. First and foremost, the quality of the paint is exceptional - bright vibrant colors that are easy to apply and that dry quickly without becoming too dry in the container. Also, coverage is great with one application including covering the numbers. I always stir and usually add a drop or two of water before using but after that things go very smoothly. Secondly, the quality of the canvass is great with well-defined lines and numbering. And the Venice street scene is simply beautiful and reminded me of various side streets I saw when visiting the city. Even the brushes are a cut above adequate with three sizes that cover all situations. I used the smaller brushes far more than the wide brush - there are very few areas where the large brush is useful. I also have some other brushes I've purchased over the years that occasionally come in handy for the finer details, but if you get the paint mixed properly, the included brushes will be fine. I would definitely call this at least intermediate level due to the fine details in a lot of the area, so question the "beginners" classification, but having said that, when I started out, I began painting with this level of painting, so there is no doubt a beginner would enjoy the challenge - just take your time and you'll be fine.

Plenty of paint to complete, looks great, dried fast. I took it to Costa Rica in a ziplock and left it on the kitchen table of our Air B&B. Three of our 20 somethings completed in within a few evenings, taking turns. A good mindless activity that is not a phone screen. Note: They did recoat several of the areas so paint was more opaque & textured.
