Paint By Number Project

When I was a kid,

we'd walk down to the local "5 and Dime" store

to buy a treat, get scrapbooks, stamps for our stamp collection 

 or "cool" supplies to create things. 

I'd often pick up inexpensive, small 5x7 paint by numbers.

These were so fun to paint up.

I felt like a real artist!

Then I'd put on an art show with the finished works. 

And make my family come to visit my gallery

and purchase a painting for a quarter. 

Well, in the past few years, 

paint by numbers has made a come back!

Especially with quarantine and some extra time on our hands, 

this is the perfect way to stay creative and de-stress! 

What I especially love now is that

paint by numbers companies offer the option to

create a custom paint by number from one of your own photos!

You simply upload the photo and your numbered canvas is created!

This makes it so personal

and a unique way to capture your photo memory. 

Plus, it makes it more fun painting an image you already love!

That's exactly what we did.

I picked up my by Paint by Numbers kit from Winnie's Picks

Of course we just had to upload a photo of our

angel of a dog...Sunnie.

The kit came with all the paint and brushes we'd need.

This can be a group project too.

A few of us contributed our painting skills here.

And really you don't need any skills,

just follow the numbers. 

A few numbered shapes were really small to read, 

but the kit came with a paper print out with all the numbers too that helped.

Don't worry, you can't go wrong,

even if you guess at a color ;)

This pooch turned out great!

What do you think?
