If you are just stumbling upon this blog, one topic that I write about often is self-care. Self-care is extremely important especially in today’s overwhelming times. Given this, I want to share one of the projects that I have been working on over the past week, it’s Paint By Numbers Online.
I enjoy being creative, but I don’t paint often. I believe I have shared my painting experiences twice on this blog. With one I know of being an afternoon spent painting with some friends while having Indian cuisine. You can read about our soul therapy painting picnic here.
It was such a soothing afternoon. Just us ladies hanging out, enjoying good food, great conversation, and painting. From that experience alone, I learned how to appreciate the act of relaxing and painting. So, when I learned about Paint By Numbers Online, I couldn’t wait to give it a whirl.

Paint By Numbers Online
Paint By Number Online offers a variety of painting kits online that are great for both, adults and children. Each kit includes a rolled canvas print of your choosing along with paint pots and three paint brushes. It’s everything that you need to complete your masterpiece.
Each canvas has numbered sections that match with the paint pods that you need. When I first opened mine, I noticed that I did have to read the instructional card and label each paint pod by the number that is on the canvas. This was not a big deal and only took me about five minutes to add the sticker to each paint pod.
Once I was done, I got busy painting. I chose to focus on one color at a time as I made my way around the entire canvas. Sections are extremely small, so just be aware of that.
Perfect for Self-Care
In relaxing and focusing in on each section and each color, I agree with Paint By Numbers Online that the process is extremely therapeutic. Perfect for self-care. With this, it is easy to increase your self-confidence, as well as improve your motor skills. It’s simple & fun to do.
According to Paint By Numbers Online, this process has been proven to increase concentration and helps a lot with relaxation of the mind and of the body. Again, I agree.
Over the past week, I have found myself taking time out to just sit, relax, and paint. It’s been wonderful being able to tune out of the daily demands of life and focus on the project in front of me. Each time that I have sat down to paint, I have relaxed for at least an hour.
Paint By Numbers Online Categories
Paint By Numbers Online offers several categories of paintings to choose from. For example, I chose my painting from the New Arrivals Collection. Paintings from this collection consist mostly of modern art.
Modern Portrait 3 – 45106
I personally chose the Modern Portrait 3. It’s modern, sassy, and matches with the decor in my office space. Additionally, I have another painting that a college classmate painted for me of Maya Angelo with the Phenomenal Woman saying painted on there, as well.
I truly adore creativity, art, and paintings.
Other categories include but are not limited to Colorful Animals, Kids Bedrooms, Scenery and Landscapes, Ferns, Portraits, Sunflowers, etc.
What I appreciate about this site is that if you don’t find something that you enjoy, you have the option to have something customized to your liking. How incredible is that?
For those interested in a custom photo painting, instructions are listed and easy to follow. It is important to note that if you choose this option, you are likely to have some additional wait time in terms of delivery; which is to be expected since it is a custom piece.
Final Thoughts
While I have done freestyle paintings before, I have not completed a paint by number painting as an adult until this experience. From my personal experience, I can honestly say that this is such a therapeutic process and a wonderful activity for self-care.
If you are interested in trying Paint By Numbers Online for yourself, your friends, or family, I would highly recommend browsing the site and viewing their different options under each category. I am sure that everyone will find something that they can relate to and enjoy painting.
Furthermore, I believe that this is a nice family activity that can be done over the course of some time. For example, every Friday night for family night, relax, paint, enjoy snacks, and each other’s company. How special would that be?
