A larger than expected set, comprising everything you need to create your own masterpiece - or 3, as there are 3 large canvases included. I am just a beginner, so I wanted this as a taster to combine art with a relaxing activity to improve mindfulness and mental health. It's very handy having all the equipment in one box as I didn't have to think of different individual things to get.The selection of acrylic paints I chose was a Spring Palette, which includes lovely pastel colours. This is somewhat limiting as in the process of painting, I would have liked to use other colours too. The addition of gold leaf is really fun and adds a contemporary texture to the paintings.There is a guide included, which I found helpful. As a tip, I would suggest practicing your design on paper first before moving on to canvas. Although the guide is aimed at abstract art, there is of course nothing to stop you from painting in whatever artistic style you choose.I think this is a fab idea. Would make a nice activity for a birthday party, date night or a hen party as it would be a fun way to spend time with friends and family creating art. It would also be a very thoughtful gift for the right recipient.
