What is Paint by Numbers?
- This simplified approach to painting allows anyone to unleash their creativity regardless of talent or experience. Paint by numbers is an inexpensive kit that includes a pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, corresponding paint colors, and brushes. Each number on the canvas corresponds to a specific color, making it easy to follow along and create a beautiful piece of art.
Use a Pre-made Kit or Have a Custom Kit Made From a Favorite Photo
Did you know that there are hundreds of beautiful already made paint by number kits out there? Do a little search and find one that speaks to you. Here's one I love.
But even better--you can order a CUSTOM paint by number kit from a favorite photograph? How cool is that! The kit comes with everything you need!
Here's one my mom (who has never painted before) was working on for my dad from a photo at their grandson's wedding. She loved the photograph and had a kit made. There are multiple companies that make these custom kits. I found etsy to be a great resource for this.
Here's one I did from an Amazon order. Confession...It was about 8 years after I purchased the kit that I finally painted it.
How to Get Started
To begin your paint by numbers journey, simply follow these steps:
- Set up your workspace with good lighting and a flat surface.
- Match the numbered paint colors to the corresponding sections on the canvas.
- Start painting by filling in each section with the designated color.
- Allow the paint to dry between colors to prevent smudging.
- Display your finished masterpiece for all to admire!
Whether you're looking for a new hobby, a creative outlet, or a unique gift idea, paint by numbers is a fantastic choice. Embrace the simplicity and beauty of this art form and watch your creativity flourish!
