Paint by numbers is made for beginners
You do not need any painting experience to create a beautiful picture. Every area on the canvas is marked with a number, and every paint pot carries the same number. You simply match them, one small area at a time. There is no drawing and no color mixing, and you can go at your own pace.
Why so many retirees love paint by numbers
Many of our customers tell us that painting has become their favorite way to unwind in the evening. It is a calm, screen-free hobby that keeps the hands busy and the mind focused. And at the end, you have a real painting to hang on your wall or to give to someone you love.
How to choose your first kit
Start with a design that has larger areas and fewer colors. Mini kits are a lovely way to begin, because you can finish a small canvas in an afternoon. Once you feel comfortable, move on to larger landscapes, flowers or famous masterpieces by artists like Van Gogh and Monet.
Tips for painting comfortably
- Paint in daylight or under a bright desk lamp so the numbers are easy to see.
- Keep a cup of water and a paper towel nearby to clean your brush between colors.
- Start with the darker colors and work toward the lighter ones.
- Close the paint pots tightly after each session so the paint stays fresh.
- Take breaks. There is no rush, and every session brings you closer to your finished painting.
