What is painting by numbers?

You're probably hearing about " painting by numbers " more and more often. Perhaps you're already familiar with it, but perhaps it's completely new to you. That's why we'd like to explain what painting by numbers is and what its advantages are.

The concept of painting by numbers, also known as paint by number, was invented by Dan Robbins in the 1950s. We will dedicate a more extensive article to this later.

It's actually a kind of diamond painting , but with paint instead of diamonds.

So, it's been around for a long time, but it's becoming increasingly popular. The reason for this is that we live in a hectic world that's getting busier and busier. You're often overwhelmed and don't have time for yourself. This, combined with other factors like stress, often leads to burnout, and even depression.

Research has shown that painting helps with these complaints. It helps you relax , connect more with your feelings, and clear your mind and calm your mind. It essentially works like meditation.

People with burnout are often perfectionists, and freehand painting won't have the same effect as painting by numbers. The numbered canvas removes the pressure of perfectionism, and it's all about painting each square with the assigned numbers.

It also seems to be effective for people dealing with ADHD, ASD, and even Parkinson's. All in all, it has many health benefits , improves your concentration and focus, and is a lot of fun! Especially when you can hang your own artwork in your living room and proudly enjoy it.
