The pieces were okay, but not cut the best, so that sometimes you had to wonder, is this right--there was not that satisfying little click feeling.
The image was not light but I don't think the picture itself is very light--I think it was pretty true to the painting. We were constantly turning on extra lights and just seeing the pieces was difficult, with our aging eyes.
And literally half the pieces were various blacks, which meant the first half went fine and then the end really got to us.
But it was super fun to do this painting we knew so well and to see how he had done the color shifts--it was challenging, but we learned a lot about the painting.
I don't think we are at your level puzzle wise though--this was only our second puzzle since we started doing them--we gave up on one as being too hard, another painting puzzle, really pretty, but we were so frustrated.
Currently doing a New England snow scene primitive painting of a village and it's going much better--it is from eurographics puzzles and quality is really nice.
