Famous Art Kits are designed so that ANYONE can paint beautiful pictures inspired by famous artists- you will be amazed at the results even if you have no art background. Our kits are NOT PAINT BY NUMBER kits- but, the finished painting looks just like our advertising pictures. In all of our kits the accurate drawing of the scene is all done for you on a genuine artist’s CANVAS, and then tack mounted onto a piece of art board to make them ready for your frame. The acrylic paints and a quality artist brush are provided. Most of the acrylic colors are premixed- there is minimal color mixing. The instructions are comprehensive, yet easy to follow. There are NO NUMBERS on the pre printed canvas, instead there are color pictures showing each step of the painting. You will build your painting from the ground up, one color at a time. You will be an Impressionist! Your finished painting will look just like the advertising picture- not like a paint by number. These kits can be painted by beginners if they can follow directions and control a brush- they contain everything you need to finish the painting successfully. You will be actually learning to paint with acrylics. This is a painting inspired by the French Impressionist painter famous for his pictures of women at the ballet and in the home- Edgar Degas. The main aim of the impressionists was to paint the effects of light, movement and color spontaneously, as opposed to the highly finished techniques of traditional academic art. Made in the USA by artists for artists! What our customers are saying: The painting from Famous Arts Kits made me feel like a true professional artist. There are detailed instructions and the picture is outlined, so it’s virtually impossible to mess up. The end result was magnificent!
