Paint by numbers kits allow you to develop your creativity by yourself. Van Gogh in his time produced about 2100 artworks in his short career as a painter and is one of the most famous painters of the western world. The last Van Gogh I remember being auctioned was in 2017 for a staggering 66.3 million dollars. Why am I talking about Van Gogh? Well, that is because Van Gogh probably stands as the best example of a self-taught master of the art of painting. In fact, in his early days, Van Gogh was terrible with a brush, considered to be of no natural talent. However, Van Gogh taught himself by first doing some still image artworks and copying the existing artworks of his time. Copying the work of others let him perfect his brushwork and use of colors.
