\ud83c\udfa8 What Is Paint By Number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the 1950s, Palmer Paint Company tasked their employees with finding innovative ways to sell more paint. In response, Dan Robbins, an artist for the company, and Max Klein, the owner of the company, began to develop DIY kits that included paintbrushes, paint, and templates. The templates were either canvas or paper with light markings and numbered sections that correspond to specific paint colors. By the mid-1950s, over 12 million kits were sold and paint by number became a hugely popular pastime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern-day paint by number kits remain largely unchanged from their original concept, however, with newer technology, the paint by number template options are nearly endless. From modern masterpieces to traditional classics, you’ll be able to find art suited to almost any taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\uddfa How To Find Paint By Number Kits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, paint by number kits are fairly easy to come by, both online and in stores! The only barriers are what style of art you’d like to paint and what skill level you’re comfortable with. It’s important to note that not all kits are alike, so carefully review product information before purchasing. Some kits are designed specifically for beginners and children, while others are fairly advanced and complicated. Additionally, kits vary in quality and content, so a little research prior to purchasing is always recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experts at Kate and Son<\/a>, a paint by number company that sells high-quality kits with a huge variety of designs to choose from, offer this advice for selecting the best kit for your comfort level: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Anyone can do any skill level, that is the beauty of Paint by Numbers. You simply take it one number at a time! That being said, It’s okay to build up confidence with less detailed and more geometric patterns. The more intricate the design, typically the smaller the paint cells are to get the extra detail.<\/strong><\/p>\nKate and Son<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You’ll want to check local art supply stores as well as big-box arts and crafts stores in addition to online marketplaces like Kate and Son<\/a>. Again, it comes down to what style of art you’re interested in and your skill level, so choose art that speaks to you and sparks some creative interest! And, once you get started, Kate and Son offer this advice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Don’t sweat the small parts! Paint by Numbers isn’t the same as a coloring book, you can go outside of the lines, and since it’s paint you can always go over it afterward to fix any “mistakes” (there are none!) that you may see and make it your own! <\/strong><\/p>\nKate and Son<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned, not all kits are made the same. Quality and contents vary between products, so even if your kit comes fully outfitted, it’s possible you’ll want higher-quality tools purchased separately from your kit. Depending on what’s included in your purchase, these items may come in handy just in case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
