The Benefits of Painting by Numbers for Adults

Art Therapy can heal and train the brain

Since 1940, psychologists performing studies on creative expression through art activities, such as coloring, painting, drawing, sculpting, and others; have proven that art has the power of healing and promotes the well-being of people, and cultivates their creative thinking.

Nowadays this is commonly referred to as: art therapy. 

• Through art therapy, the brain establishes new communications between neurons and ultimately recovers and creates new neural networks.
• As a result, art therapy is a great choice of treatment to foster well-being and one that can lead to multiple memory, reasoning, communication, and health benefits.
• For example, art therapy has shown positive results as a treatment method focused on the recovery of patients who suffer from memory loss, people with trauma, dementia, and even patients with Alzheimer's or Autism.

Painting can reduce stress and anxiety

When we get to our adult lives, life constantly speeds up. Decision-making, planning, pressure from our duties, and the number of responsibilities and complications are all part of our days.

We learn to overcome the challenges, but it is also true that we have no choice but to adapt to the present moment and learn to live under constant stress and anxiety. Some people deal with it better than others, but for the ones that are most affected by these conditions, health consequences may arise.

Although stress and anxiety are common conditions of our daily lives, we must pay attention to controlling and reducing their influence on our routine. Otherwise, they can lead to cardiovascular diseases and a wide array of health conditions that are associated with overwork, stress, personal problems, or improper handling of emotions.

Many people do not know how to deal with stress and anxiety so they turn to medical professionals.

• However, medical professionals have shown through medical research that performing tasks such as painting or any hobby that involves a creative process can improve mental health by reducing stress and anxiety.

• Painting by numbers can be a small getaway for adults to escape into a world of color, calm, and introspection. Oil paint in your spare time and escape for a little while from the pressure and burdens of life.
• This artistic journey will lead you to recover balance and connect with your soul while creating a beautiful masterpiece without even having to be a talented artist.

Painting can develop and recover manual skills

The brain is the executing center for all motions and functions. Physiotherapists recommend activities that enhance gross and fine motor skills. Even simple designs will require steady hand and hand-eye coordination.

• Painting meets both aspects and is a therapeutic approach to treating people with motor impairments due to accidents, brain injuries, or birth conditions.
• Painting is, therefore, an excellent method to improve cognitive abilities, coordination, and motor skills.

Painting promotes imagination and creativity

As human beings, we are imaginative by nature and enjoy creating and innovating. And yet, sometimes, being immersed in our routine or having a constant tight schedule can lead us to progressively lose our creativity.

The good news is that this loss is temporary and can be reverted by training your imagination.

• Studies show that painting, mixing colors, and using your imagination is the perfect way to activate the pineal gland and both hemispheres of the brain.
• As you develop yourself in painting, you will notice that you have greater mental fluidity, you find solutions to everyday problems faster, you feel your imagination expands and you have a constant desire to create.
• All of these are implicit benefits of painting. Plus, it is a combination of relaxing and having fun while in the comfort of your home.

Painting can be a powerful hobby

Health experts and scientific research have proven that having a hobby is highly recommended for adults as a form of therapy.

Art therapy is the ultimate way to help you disconnect from everyday life and it’s an easy way to relieve stress.

As therapy, art turns out to be an element of healing, relaxation, and personal transformation widely used by adults. The magic about adult paint by numbers is that no matter your skill level you'll be able to dive into creative projects.

1. Choose the right kit. When you're shopping for a paint by numbers kit, make sure you choose one that's appropriate for your skill level. If you're a beginner, choose a kit with a simpler design and fewer colors.

Acrylic paints are the best quality paints to start with and make sure the kit has everything you need to start painting right away, like paint brushes, painting kit, numbered canvas, and so on.

2. Choose your color plan. Once you've received your kit, select the colors you want to use first. The best paint by numbers kits come with a color guide so you can easily match the colors in the chart to the corresponding areas on the numbered areas of the canvas.

We recommend you start with the darkest colors first and then move on to the lighter colors.

How to Make Your Paint By Numbers Project Look Like a Masterpiece?

One of the great things about painting is that you can become a great artist during your free time. The most important thing is that you are disciplined and with practice, you'll get more confident in your painting skills and feel more comfortable creating beautiful paint by numbers masterpieces.

The following are a few tips and ideas to take into account:

Tip #1 Setting Up Your Painting Area

Gather your painting materials and tools, and look for the best place at home to start painting.

First, you will need a flat surface, such as a table, the floor, or an artist easel. Lay down the canvas on a flat surface.

You would want to have a paper towel, a paint cup, clean water in your paint brush cleaning organizer clean your brushes, and some background music that matches the lighter colors of your project.

For adult paint by numbers, due to the small numbers on the canvas, we would also advise getting your hands on a magnifying glass.

Make sure that you're in a comfortable space where you can dive into your mind, travel through your memories and ultimately create something out of the ordinary!

Tip #2 Mixing Colors

The best kits will provide you with an individual pot of paint for every particular color. This is just a way to create an easier paint process.

But a talented artist would step up a notch and mix some of these oil paints to create unique paint patterns on the canvas. Of course, you want to have various tones so as a rule of thumb, try mixing dark colors with dark colors and bright colors with bright colors.

For larger areas, it would be advisable to apply extra paint to achieve the best results.

Remember to try in small areas first your new paint colors to see how each one will blend in with one another and what tone ultimately results from mixing before applying it completely on a larger section of the canvas.

Tip #3 Be Patient

Allow yourself plenty of time to complete the project, if necessary. Painting by number can be a fun, relaxing activity, so don't feel rushed if you don't have to be.

In fact, many people find the process of painting by number to be very peaceful and calming. It can be a great way to wind down after a long day or to take a break from stressful tasks.

So, don't feel bad if you're not an artist - just grab a paintbrush and some paint, and enjoy the experience!

Tip #4 Follow the Patterns

One of the great things about numbered painting is that it's all about following patterns. When it comes to painting by numbers, larger areas are typically divided into smaller sections.

This makes it easy to stay within the lines and create a cohesive piece of art. Plus, it's a great way to add detail and complexity to your work.

Try not to overlap the colors, this can make your finished product look messy. On the other hand, make sure you use the right brushes for the areas of color you are applying paint on. 

Tip #5 Be Creative!

While it's important to follow the instructions, feel free to make small changes or additions that will make your painting unique to you. Adding personal touches to your paintings can make all the difference to your piece of art.

By making small changes or additions, you can give your painting a unique look that is all your own. Be creative and experiment with different techniques and ideas. The possibilities are endless, so have fun with it!

How to Add Depth and Texture to Your Paintings for a More Lifelike Look

When painting by numbers, you will realize that for some colors, you will need more than one layer of paint to achieve the desired color brightness and to fully cover the numbers on top of the canvas.

Different colors will have a different effect, but you would definitely want to consider adding a second or even a third layer of paint for the lightest color.

You could also consider applying white paint first to cover some of the subtle shades of the colors pre-printed on the canvas.

The wet paint, however, will need to go through a full-drying time before it is ready for the second layer, ultimately this would take a bit more time to finish, but the results will be astonishing!

Learn to Paint With DIY Paint-By-Numbers

For a beginner paint artist, there are no shortcuts to becoming an artist, and it takes years of practice and studying art to become proficient enough to paint amazing works of art on your own.

But when painting by numbers, you will still develop and learn the fundamentals of painting, the painting techniques, and the paint brushing skills required to paint like a pro.
