What Is Paint by Numbers?
This is a simple view. Paint by Numbers is like a coloring book for adults but with paint instead of crayons. Your canvas shows a design divided into parts. Each part has a number that matches a specific paint color. Your task is to choose the right color and fill the area. It is very simple.
If you liked coloring books as a child, this will feel natural. It is an activity that children also enjoy making it suitable for the whole family.
Why Is Paint by Numbers Enjoyable?
Painting by numbers is not only fun; it helps you in many ways:
- It feels good: Finishing a painting builds self-confidence.
- It builds creativity: Even if you have not painted before, you will start to think of ideas.
- No skills are needed: You do not have to be a great artist to enjoy paint by numbers.
- Extra benefit: At the end you will have a fine piece of art to display or give to someone.
How to Paint by Numbers as a Pro
➡ Step 1: Get a Kit
First, you must have a paint by numbers kit. We offer many choices at Canvas By Numbers, such as landscapes, animals or classic images.
Our kits include everything you need to start:
- A printed canvas
- Acrylic paints that are ready to use
- Three brushes of different sizes
- Optional: A wooden frame to show your finished work
With our kits, you do not need to look for supplies. We provide all you require.
➡ Step 2: Prepare Your Area
Choose a bright, comfortable area to paint. A table works well. You may use an easel if you wish to feel more like an artist.
Tip: Cover your surface with old newspapers or paper towels to catch any mistakes. This will help protect your table.
➡ Step 3: Have Water and Cloths Ready
Keep a cup of water and an old cloth near you. Use them to clean your brush when you change colors. A simple jar or plastic cup works fine.
➡ Step 4: Prepare Your Colors
Before you start, take a moment to check the numbers and their matching colors. This will help you avoid errors later.
➡ Step 5: Begin to Paint
Now comes the fun part. Choose one color and fill the area with the same number. Some people begin with the light colors; others finish one part at a time. Choose what works for you.
➡ Step 6: Clean Your Brushes
Each time you change colors, rinse your brush in water and wipe it with your cloth. This keeps your paint clear and stops colors from mixing.
Tip: Do not press your brush hard in the cup. Move it slowly in the water.
➡ Step 7: Look at Your Painting
After you finish the last part, step back to see your work. You have just made a piece of art. If you wish to show it, place it in a frame and hang it in a special place.
