Real Reviews From Real People
Just got married and had the few attendees paint variations of the nutcrackers. It is a precious memory and I now have special Christmas decorations! I love how simple it was to follow the video and pause was our friend. Modifying was a bit challenging since we used square canvases but I love how they all turned out! Great experience!
I purchased the Nutcracker painting for my sister as a Christmas present. The painting came out great. I plan on making future purchases!
I am not artistic at all, but I was able to do this. I enjoyed it very much.
I ordered a bundle for my family and I to do over the holidays - needless to say it has now turned into a hobby and will define purchasing more videos
