Intermediate Paint by Numbers Kits
Intermediate kits are the step between your first canvas and a truly detailed one. The sections are smaller than in beginner designs and the palettes are wider, so you start to paint real shading, reflections and texture. Nothing is so tiny that it becomes a chore, which makes this level the favorite of many regular painters. Most kits come together over several evenings or a few relaxed weekends.

How to Get Cleaner Results
Match brush to area
Your kit has three brushes. Save the finest one for edges and small shapes, and use the widest to fill larger areas quickly.
Check similar shades
Intermediate palettes often include close tones, like two greens or three blues. Compare with the printed reference sheet before you paint a tricky patch.
Keep paint fresh
Open only the pots you are using and close them tightly after each session so the paint stays smooth to the last section.
