First of all, I am very happy I purchased this paint by numbers picture. The canvas was amazing to paint on, the numbers were easy to read and the colors are wonderful. It is beautiful hanging on my wall. From across the room, you can’t tell it’s a paint by numbers picture. That’s being said, I received no instructions with my set. I did receive a very small picture of what i ordered. I used my own brushes because the three that came with it weren’t so great. I also had to go back and paint beyond the borders for it to fill out the 16” x 20” frame I found to put it in. I do think it was a fair value compared to other paint by numbers sets. Also it took almost two weeks to receive it.
