What is Diamond Painting?

What is Gems Diamond Art Painting? The Beginner's Guide...

Diamond painting is a way to color a pre-made canvas work of art, making it glisten with faceted diamond drills using a system similar to cross stitch or "paint by numbers".  The process is relaxing and enjoyable for adults and children, requiring little skill to accomplish a project.  It doesn't take long for a novice to become skilled at turning their kit into a Gem of a masterpiece.  A Diamond Painter will find that one Diamond painting kit isn't enough!  The satisfaction that comes from completing a kit will make the Diamond Painter find even more intriguing kits to add to their collection.    

 

A Diamond painting is a colored work of art rendered onto a pre-lined grid with coded color symbols to show the Diamond Painter where to place diamond drills designated by the designer of the canvas.   The drills are faceted on one side and flat on the back. Each of the tiny, rhinestone-like drills is carefully placed on the canvas with either tweezers or a wax-tipped drill pen, both of which are supplied with the Diamond Painting kit. The pre-glued canvas holds the drills in place with a pre-laid clear adhesive. The Diamond Painters can complete portions at a time, while the unfinished remainder of the painting can be left covered with the supplied plastic cover sheet.  This keeps the bare adhesive from collecting dust or drying out, allowing the Diamond Painters to only work on the canvas when they want.  When the Diamond painting is complete, it can be mounted and framed, or simply rolled up and stored until the owner feels like displaying it.  

Diamond painting is relatively new to the crafting world, and the numbers of Diamond Painters of all ages growing daily.  People who haven't been successful at other crafts find that they can excel as Diamond Painters, relaxing and creating the hours away with very satisfying results.  Why not purchase a Diamond painting kit from Gems Diamond Painting and create a Gem of a Masterpiece?
