Painting and other visual arts for adults are a hot hobby this days probably because of the high stress life that is the norm today. Painting by Numbers is a system where a picture is divided into shapes, each marked with a number that corresponds to a particular color. You paint in each shape and ultimately the picture emerges as a finished painting. Tip for painting by numbers: Start with either the darkest color and end with the lightest or the other way around, leaving any segments that have a mixed color (double number) till last. The reason I recommend doing the colors in sequence from dark to light (or the other way around) is that this helps you learn a little about the tone and chroma of colors.
First, in order to not wash brushes frequently, you could paint each color at a time, and start paint from the largest area to the smallest, top to bottom. Second, start with darkest to light colors or the other way around and with little ink, it can help you understand the painting well.
If your adult paint by numbers is a canvas and not a board, you’ll want to fix it to a hard a flat surface. If you prefer painting on an easel or on your sofa, I’d suggest mounting the canvas onto a foam core or cardboard. The easiest way though remains in taping it to a table to ensure it stays flat and doesn’t move.
Diamond painting is an easy and enjoyable activity for crafters young and old.

Diamond painting kits are available in a variety sizes and styles from simple to elaborate so crafters of all skill levels can find a project to enjoy.
