When I was a little girl, my Mom used to paint paint-by-number paintings and hang them in our home. I loved watching her paint – she was very good at it. She bought me my own paint-by-number kits and her and I would paint together. I enjoyed that so much as a kid. A couple of years ago, I had a custom paint-by-number kit made for a friend and painted it for her. I had forgotten how much I enjoy painting and that kit sparked my interest again.
Painting by numbers is a creative escape that offers both relaxation and satisfaction – whether you’re an artist or someone just beginning to paint. Because the paint-by-number kits have everything carefully mapped out, it allows you to just enjoy the experience of painting without worrying about technique or talent. Just pick up a brush, follow the numbers, and watch a beautiful image emerge with every stroke.
Painting with paint-by-number kits has a calming effect. When you follow the structured process, color by color, it feels like meditation as your focus narrows on one section at a time. This repetitive motion is a great stress-reliever and helps to clear your mind – making it an enjoyable way to unwind after a busy day.
Even if you’ve never picked up a brush before, seeing a painting come together step-by-step builds confidence and may even spark a desire to try freehand painting. And most of all, it’s simply FUN!
Here’s a selection of eight of my favorite paint-by-number sets that I’m working on this season. Let me know if you try any of them – I’d love to hear your thoughts!
