Here's Why Paint-By-Numbers Should Be One Of Your Self-care Activities

Here's Why Paint-By-Numbers Should Be One Of Your Self-care Activities

There are many ways you can practice self-care these days. You can practice yoga, grow plants, exercise, read books, or listen to music.

Here's another activity you can add to your self-care routine: painting by numbers. The task is simple: You just have to fill in a drawing with paint. Each area of the drawing has a number, which has a corresponding color. You can create your own masterpiece even if you have zero painting experience.

Brief History

The first paint-by-numbers kit was first introduced in 1951 by the Palmer Show Card Paint Company in the US, and they eventually sold around 20 million kits across the country.

What's Inside A Paint-By-Numbers Kit?

Scribbler's Artherapy Paint-By-Numbers Kits, for example, comes with a framed canvas, a set of brushes, assorted paint pigments, and a set of ring hangers with screws. There are several designs to choose from. Here are some of them:

Artherapy Paint By Numbers Boats

Artherapy Paint By Numbers Cappadocia

Artherapy Paint By Numbers Santorini

Artherapy Paint By Numbers Deer

Artherapy Paint By Numbers Venice

Artherapy Paint By Numbers San Francisco

Artherapy Paint By Numbers Paris

For a few hours a day, you can forget about all your worries and just focus on thinking about which color goes where. It's a very relaxing activity, and it also gives you a sense of accomplishment knowing that you've turned a blank canvas into a beautiful painting.

Tips On How To Paint-By Numbers

Here are a few tips on how you can successfully complete your paint-by-numbers kit.

  • Work in a well-lit area so you can see the numbers on the canvas clearly.
  • Lay the canvas on a flat surface or use an easel for easy-peasy painting.
  • Paint one color at a time, from top to bottom. Start with dark colors first, followed by the lighter ones.
  • Close the paint containers when not in use to prevent them from drying out.
  • Clean brushes thoroughly in between colors.
  • Use only the tip of the brush for more precise strokes. It helps save on paint, too. 
  • You can use a toothpick instead of a brush for very tiny areas.

If you're looking for an activity to keep you busy while you're at home or if you want to take a break from social media, paint-by-numbers is always a good idea. You won't notice the hours go by.
