Learn to Paint One Number at a Time
If you want to learn to paint, but don’t have the time for lessons or classes, why not check out all the paint by Number Kits on the market?
I know, you will think, but I did that when I was a kid!. These are adult paint by number kits, that can be as simple or as complicated as you want them to be.
As you paint the paintings, watch how the shading is done, and pay attention to all the detail, as you don’t tend to notice that as you just paint your little numbered area. Take note of how all the colors and shades of colors come together. This is how I started.
Check your local craft shop or also check thrift shops and estate sales, as sometimes you can get some great kits in there.
I once got a beautiful vintage paint by number kit of horses, at an estate sale. I guess someone thought they would get around to it one day, but never did. It had to be 50 years old, but I loved the picture. I purchased it, but the paints had all dried up, so I came up with my own colors in acrylic based on the photograph that was on the box of the finished project, and it turned out great.
There are many older beautiful vintage kits for sale online, don’t let the paint part scare you off, if they are too old, create your own color scheme and that will be one more step towards learning to paint for yourself.
Don’t forget to get your projects framed, some of those older vintage paint by number kits, have such detail, they will look like a professional artist painted them, and if you frame them nicely, you now have a great piece for your wall.

How do i remove acrylic paint (craft paint ) out of material such as a blanket?
Acrylic paint once it has been allowed to dry is very difficult to remove from material, carpeting etc. Take a plain white towel, put acetone on the rag and keep blotting the are to break it down. Wash as normal, be sure that there is no remaining paint on it before putting in the dryer.
