Coloring a Thomas Kinkade picture with pencils . While the picture didn't turn out as I had imagined, it was a very enjoyable experience. A true artist could have shaded and colored it to look more professional. The best part is that mistakes are easy to cover up as opposed to "paint" by number.

Thomas Kinkade Pencil by Number - Cobblestone Lane by Mega Brands Reviews
kinkade pencil by number . I purchased this for my youngest daughter(8 years), but ended up giving it to my 27 year old daughter. It seemed too complicated for the younger child. It is really an adult( or at least teenage) level product. My daughter enjoyed it, and it came out fairly nicely. the colors are a little pale and it looks like a paint by number when finished, not like the picture on the cover. But it was fun and not very expensive.

Thomas Kinkade Pencil by Number - Cobblestone Lane by Mega Brands Opinions
Washed out colors . I bought this for my husband as a way to unwind after working all day. The picture is lovely if a bit on the small side. The pencils are so light that you can hardly tell that you have colored in anything. After he was done, it was hard to see any coloring. Very different from the picture. I think a child would be very disapointed. We, on the other hand, bought an extensive color marker set and have begun coloring it in with markers instead. Now we can see the colors and it is indeed beautiful.

Cons Review
Disappointing . I bought this for my mother, who enjoys paint-by-number and pencil-by-number kits, but when it came I was so disappointed in it that I did not even give it to her. Although Thomas Kinkade's lovely painting is provided as an example, the actual colors in the kit do not in any way resemble them. This kit should have at least 20 different pencil colors in order to approximate the original in any way. Obviously, a pencil-by-number kit is not going to look just like an original Kinkade, but when you are trying to replicate a painting with hundreds of colors in it by using only 8 colors, what you end up with is something entirely different. You will not even recognize the Kinkade painting in this one when it is done. If you have your own set of pencils and want to improvise on the colors, you could do much better with the set, but be warned that the paper it comes on is not very sturdy either.
great product . I purchased this for my daughter who is 10. It's really a nice item. It's a lot less mess than the paint by numbers and it's also a bit easier to use. If you have a younger child, they need to be patient to do this since there a lot of small areas to color. Really great product. Wish I could find in department stores.
Cobblestone Lane . I thought it was a difficult picture to color. I am 79 years old and a
little shakey so some of the areas took a bit of patience. I enjoyed doing
it and found it quite satisfying. Because I had problems with the pencils
I couldln't bare down to get a darker color. The pencils were hard to
sharpen and I couldn't use a regular sharpener. The points were not
pointed enough for me to do what I wanted to do. Down the road I plan to
order the country lane pictures that are currently out of stock. I am
presently coloring the light house and find it much easier than Cobblestone.

It's like trying to paint the Sistine Chapel with a set of 8 Crayolas and a step-stool. . I'd love to give this a 5 star rating. I adore the work of Thomas Kinkade, but this is just not good.
I can't imagine what I thought I was going to get for just a few dollars, but I thought it had to be better than this. What was I thinking? More importantly, what were THEY thinking??
Pardon my error in judgement. Don't make my mistake. Too few colors, cheap paper -- I am very, very disappointed.
