Have you ever order or been thinking about ordering a Diamond Painting you probably have heard the words full drill and partial drill. The diamonds in the Diamond Painting world are called drills, but what is the difference between full and partial? I will describe it for you below.
Partial drill
As the name suggest a painting described as partial drill you will only put diamonds on part of the canvas. You will put diamonds on the part that has symbols on it. The other part won’t have any diamonds on it, and will often act as the background. There is a variance on how much of the canvas you will put diamonds on. I did the rose below and as you can see it only has the cup and parts of the rose being filled. However there are versions of it having all of the rose being filled as well as the cup. Beginners usually starts out with a partial drill to see if they like it. That’s because these are usually cheaper and smaller than the full drills.
Full drill
A full drill Diamond Painting means that the whole canvas is completely covered with diamonds. The result is that you won’t see the canvas at all, only diamonds. Many people believe that a painting with full drill gives a better end result. The reason being that everything look the same and the sparkle is equal on it.
How can one know the difference when ordering.. example from Wish.
I am always disappointed when i always try to fiqure it out and then i end up with a partial and i thoroughly dislike partials. Some look like beautiful paintings but are extremely ugly because they are partial drill. So again i ask you will you please explain to everyone just how to tell the difference when ordering.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
It should say in the description of the painting if its partial or full. Some time the store has a image showing how much of the picture will be filled with drills. However I know that Wish is quite tricky, sometimes it says full in the title of the product but in the description it says partial. So you have to read the description very carefully to figure out what kind the painting it really is.
