What is Paint by Numbers?
Paint by Numbers is both an art and leisure form and refers to the coloring ofa pre-printed canvas with colorless areas. Each area on the canvas contains a number that indicates what colour the area should be painted. With this method, amateurs can easily create a true work of art. Numerous motifs including all-in-one package (acrylic paint, brushes, canvas) can be selected in our store.
In the foreground of Paint by Numbers are the different surfaces, which initially seem abstract. By painting the numbered areas with the correct colour, the painting then takes shape step by step.
Paint by Numbersmakes it possible to correctly identify the different surfaces and colours based on an image. This is an extremely effective learning method for painting motifs on a blank canvas step by step. With experience, your brushstrokes will become smoother and you will be able to visualize the different colour areas of a motif yourself: A picture says more than a thousand words.

The history of Paint by Numbers:
Paint by Numbers has been around for quite some time and was first popularized as a recreational activity in 1950 by artist Dan Robbins. Dan Robbins worked for the American company Show Card Paint Co. at the time. by Max S. Klein.
But the real oneinventor of the Paint by Numbers is undoubtedly Leonardo da Vinci. He was probably the first to use this method. Leonardo da Vinci was known for inscribing certain areas of the canvas with numbers to help his students choose colours.
Dan Robbins' brilliant idea was to take Leonardo da Vinci's basic idea and make this method easily accessible to any number of subjects. The success was immediate and the Palmer Show Card Paint Co. produced a large number of designs and paint-by-number sets for adults.
