Kinzville Academy Painting - Lots of Pictures

[Hamlet]

I know there are other threads on this forum with pictures and tips of the painting, but none were complete, so I decided to do my own.

This tutorial can be found in full on my site (since I can't put html here, some of the tables might be off and can be viewed better at the link below). I also have more pictures on that site than I put here (since I am limited to 20 images in this post).

OK, here goes:

Kinzville Academy Painting Chart

One of my favorite things to do in Webkinz in the Kinzvliie Academy Painting. I like it because it is a bit challenging, but I also find it fun.
While doing it, I started memorizing the patterns and associating them with the amount of paint and the speed required to reproduce those patterns. To make things a bit easier, I developed a chart that I could refer to in order to help get the similar patterns.
The chart below shows speed level required to produce the patterns using 8 drops of paint. On my site, I also have a side by side with 3 drops of paint. Between the two pictures, you should be able to figure out exactly what pattern you are trying to reproduce.

Now that you have the speed figured out, the number of drops is relatively easy. You first need to estimate based on the size of the splatter, and then take your mouse with the dropper full and move it closer to the pattern. See if the amount of paint in the dropper equals the height of the splatter.
This example shows speed of 13 and 5 drops (more examples on my site).

As you can see by the pictures below, I can repeatedly use these skills to get 10 out of 10 on level 1 and 2 (more on my site).

Speed 6 - Paint 5

Speed 12 - Paint 3

Speed 15 - Paint 3

Did Webkinz World cause something truly bizarre?

When you get to level 3, you have to put two drops on. Later on, I will put up more pictures of those levels, but the basic techniques still work:

As far as scoring goes, if you get the speed correct and the number of drops correct, you get 10 points (and in the levels where you have to make two or three shapes, you get 10 per shape). If you are off 1 on the speed, you lose half a point. If you are off 1 on the dropper, you lose half a point. So, if you were suppose to make a shape at speed 6 and 5 drops, but you put speed 5 and 5 drops, you will get a 9.5. If you put speed 5 and 4 drops, you will get a 9. If you put speed 4 and 7 drops, you get a 7.5 (losing 1 point for being off 2 on the speed and losing 1.5 points for being off 3 on the number of drops).
With the charts here, you should be able to get the shapes right on, and knowing how to measure the drops, you should be able to get them.

Note: The advanced tutorial will show some techniques to figuring out the multiple shape paintings (level 3 and above) and will also show my frustrations with the fact that sometimes they put the biggest shape on last - obscuring the smaller shapes and making it difficult to get a high enough score to pass.

Good luck.

KEWL! That's for all the info! It really helps! Rep points to you for all your hard work!

Great, I am on level 3 with Courtney and couldn't pass it! I am close to level 4!

[canonymous]

Thanks a lot. Your web site is great.

I anxiously await your tutorial for level 3 and above. I was able to pass levels 1 and 2 easily, but level 3 is giving me fits!!

I am getting really frustrated!

Rep points for you!
Thanks!!
I am going to pass the levels now!!

[canonymous]

I studied your guide and this morning I got 10 on my painting!

Thanks a lot. I never noticed that the amount of paint could be estimated by the spread of the sample.

You've saved me a lot of KCs!

do you put one color in dropper then spin then put second color in dropper and spin again?
I am puzzled about this

Thanks so much!
