Frequently Asked Questions
?
How long does this diamond painting take to complete?
This 30×30cm cat portrait takes roughly 20 hours — about 10 evenings. With 35 colours you switch shades often, which keeps each session engaging.
?
How challenging is this?
Difficulty is 4/5. The 35 colours and small detailed blocks require careful attention to colour numbers. The abstract style helps — mistakes blend in more easily than in a realistic image.
?
How do I keep the drills organised?
Sort the 35 colours into a numbered multi-compartment storage box. Work one small colour group at a time so only a few trays are open at once.

What makes this style special?
The palette-knife painting technique creates a three-dimensional effect with thick visible strokes. Against the black background, the non-naturalistic colours — teal, lime, pink — produce a pop-art result that stands out on any wall.
