"It was incredible to see the painting 🖼️ come together as I’m not a creative person at all. The colors are beautiful and smooth (and plenty so I didn’t have to worry about running out). You can definitely tell the materials are premium. The numbers on the canvas are easy to read and it’s slightly colored so it’s even better."

"The product is amazing, numbers are very easy to read, the paint pots have a very high quality acrylic paint. The order was received as advertised and in great shape. I was a little optimistic about ordering of internet as I have been burned a few times, however your products and service were right on."

"I love this company. I'm very impressed by the guiltily of the canvas and the paints. They created a canvas for me from a photo with some changes. I have had other company painting but the paints were either dried out or the pigment of the paint did not cover even after 4 coats of paints."

The Story Behind Paint by Numbers for Adults
Painting by numbers is more than a leisure activity - its story combines art, invention along with focus.
Dan Robbins, a commercial artist at the Palmer Paint Company in Detroit, made the concept well-known during the early 1950s. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, who used numbered patterns to teach his apprentices how to paint, Robbins developed the first contemporary paint by number kits. His plan was simple yet brilliant: make art accessible to anyone, no matter the person's skill.
The initial sets had canvases with pre-drawn, small, numbered segments along with matching paint containers. They quickly became popular across the U.S., specially once featured at department stores. By the mid-1950s, over 12 million kits had been sold, turning painting by numbers into a nationwide hobby.
Though first presented as a recreational choice, many art teachers and working artists started to use paint by numbers to educate about color concepts, brushwork precision and composition. It grew to be an educational tool plus a path to creative work.
Color by Numbers in a Digital World
We live in a fast, screen-saturated world, so color by numbers holds even more value. In this age of constant connectivity, many rediscover how good it feels to slow down, focus, and create something with their own hands.
Studies demonstrate that participation in thoughtful, artistic activities, such as painting, reduces anxiety, sharpen attention and boost overall wellness. Adult paint by numbers grants these benefits without the pressure to "be good at art."
With high-quality materials and detailed designs, today’s color by numbers kits make it easy to unplug, get creative, and even share the experience with family. Whether you’re decorating your home or winding down after a long day, this simple, satisfying hobby offers a refreshing pause — one brushstroke at a time.
