Hints and Tips on Paint by Numbers!


What is Art Therapy?


Art Therapy - Great for mind, body and soul !


HOW WE GOT INVOLVED IN PAINT BY NUMBER ART THERAPY !


Me, Clive and my wife Geraldine live in Kerry, Ireland.


Back in December 2020 I was diagnosed with tongue cancer. This year has been very difficult, I have had 8 sessions of chemotherapy and 35 sessions of radiotherapy which has left me weak and very anxious. I think I am over the worst of it but still receiving treatment, Cancer will always live with me.

A massive thank you to all the medical staff, Doctors, Nurses and everyone else who helped me through this difficult year - I can not Thank You enough !

This is when Geraldine bought me my first Paint By Numbers kit. I was very sceptical at the time. It turned out it was just what I needed to help me relax and perfect for taking my mind away from my thoughts. I am a bit addicted these days!

We decided in August 2021 to set up a small family business to sell these Art Therapy Painting by Numbers Kits. If we can help and benefit people who have the same problems with relaxation, stress as I did, it would not have all been for nothing.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
― Pablo Picasso.

WHAT IS ART THERAPY?


Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy; it is a process by which people can gain a clearer understanding of themselves by exploring thoughts and feelings through the use of art materials
The therapeutic process of painting can improve our physical and mental health, as well as our emotional well being.
It helps us to manage our feelings in a more positive way.
Increase self esteem and develop a greater self awareness.
Art therapy helps you take your mind off things - helps you to relax and unwind from stress.

Great for Mind, Body and Soul !


To my mind a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful and pretty. There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is, without creating still more of them.
― Pierre-Auguste Renoir


SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITS OF PAINT by NUMBERS!

FIND OUT WHY ART THERAPY IS GOOD FOR YOU!

We live in such a highly connected world and yet we all feel less connected.
Between social media, You tube, Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Emails etc.
All we keep on doing is ignoring the world around us.
Art is one of the ways to re-connect.
Re-connect with ourselves re-connect with our family and friends.
We all need to disconnect from technology and re-connect with ourselves.
These days we have just stopped doing things that are real.
We are constantly on our phones, we are constantly checking You tube, Emails, Facebook, Instagram etc.
We have stopped connecting with ourselves, family, our kids and people around us.
Painting is a way to get back into the real world, a way for you to create beautiful art.
The real benefit of painting is the act of creating. The beautiful art is just the result of you creating but the real benefit comes from doing it!

ART IS NOT A PRODUCT - IT'S AN EXPERIENCE!
It's all about the experience of painting not the paint.
When you get into painting you get away from this busy world. It's amazing, you just get away from your daily stress's, strains and your anxious thoughts.

Starting with Paint by Numbers Art Therapy Kits !




It's easier than you think to use our premium paint by number art therapy kits to allow your inner artist to produce beautiful artwork and enjoy this therapeutic pastime.

Whether you are a beginner or a pro, our paint by numbers art therapy kits are the perfect way to relax and take our minds away from stresses and strains created by our busy life styles. Our paint by number kits guarantee you end up with a beautiful piece of artwork when you finish.

Follow the following easy steps to get started -

  • Find yourself an area where you can work comfortably, with a table and chair and good lighting.
  • Open you complete Premium Art Kit and read your instructions which are included.
  • Unpack your ready to use acrylic paint pots, 3 paint brushes, a smaller coloured picture of the artwork which you use as a guide as you paint and your pre-stretched coloured linen canvas.

Everything is included for you to complete your masterpiece!

  • You will also need a glass of water to wash your brushes, a cloth towel or tissue to dry your them.
  • Lay out everything on your table and you're good to go.
  • On your canvas you will notice numbers which correspond to the numbers on your pots of paints.
  • Simply fill in each area with the matching numbered pot. We recommend that you use one colour and matching pot at a time. This will allow each painted section to dry before changing to the next colour pot. This is the best way to paint instead of painting section by section. This will also help to stop your paint from drying out but a little water will revive them.
  • We recommend to start at the top of your canvas and work down, start on the left and work towards the right or start on the right and work your way left. Choose what seems most comfortable and best for you.
  • Also, start with the lighter colours first as it,s easier to cover any mistakes with a darker colour later on your painting.
  • If you would like to blend the paints for a more natural edge simply use a dry brush and gently feather the wet paint.
  • Start slowly and enjoy the experience, take your time as there is no rush when you are painting. Some people take a couple of days to complete and others take a couple of months. This will stop you making mistakes like using the wrong colour in the wrong sections.
  • Apply more than one coat of paint in certain places as needed to darken an area and sometimes you need to cover the number.
  • At the end of your painting session remember to clean and dry your bushes and make sure all your pots of acrylic paint pots have the top closed firmly to stop them drying out.
