Hi Steemit Folks! Is anyone out there interested in Paint by Number! I know it was quite popular a long time ago and it seems to be making a comeback. The newer kits feature acrylic paint making clean up and drying time a lot more convenient. And unlike the older oil based paints, the acrylics have no odor!
I have been working on Cardinals in Winter for the last three weeks. I don't think this one is available any more as I found it at a resale shop.
I enjoyed painting it so much that I have since purchased 5 more! I find it quite relaxing and challenging.This is one I will be working on soon.
Dimensions and Plaid have a wide variety of painting kits geared to all ages, including animals, scenery and even still lifes.
Kits are inexpensive and available at discount and hobby stores, as well as online.
There is even a company in Norway that sells paint by number portraits like Jimmy Hendrix and Leonard Cohen.
If you do Paint by Numbers, or decide to try it for the first time, please post your progress and finished projects using the tag #pbn . Hopefully we can establish a community of painters to share projects and ideas.
