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.
Those bring back fun memories @anise!
Been many years since doing a pbn's and have
some old ones somewhere in a box painted
back in the late 60's early 70's. Can only imagine
the cool ones they have now!

I half finished the Last Supper in oils many years ago! I remember the paint taking so long to dry and resting my hand or arm on the wet spots until finally I lost interest and the paint dried up. It was by luck that I found this old kit at a flea market and it rekindled my interest. Yes, the scope and quality of the kits is much better these days. Fun thing to do on these long wintry days.

I've seen these kits in a local craft store but never thought about trying one. Maybe I should give it a go.
Could you maybe post a work-in-progress shot some time, so we can see how it looks before it is all covered?
