How to Paint with a Paint by Numbers Kit?

 

If you have always liked painting by number or like making crafts or making art in Dubai , then paint by numbers is an exciting way of painting your pages. The best part about this hobby is that it is not time consuming and requires only a little bit of your time. All you need is some paint by numbers paints and a palette. There are many different paint by numbers kits available on the market today for sale. The most popular ones come in two kinds;

Framed: The framed ones come with a simple wooden frame meant to be placed on a smooth surface.

Unframed: The non-framed ones are meant to be laid on a rough surface and then painted over.

Both these types of kits are wonderful for beginners as they allow you to paint your numbers in any style and size.

Step 1: To paint by number kits, you first need to gather your supplies. You will require a palette and paint colors, if you are using acrylic paint colors. A canvas or plain paper towel makes a great scratch pad while working on the numbers.

Step 2: Next, lay your selected palette on the easel. It is important that your canvas should be clean; you should never use damp paints on it.

Step 3: Next, lay down your numbers on the canvas in a straight line and make sure that you are following the contour of your chosen design. Remember to make a mark in every square inch of the canvas; this will ensure you that you can remove your work when you want to. If you stretch the canvas, you should leave at least four inches on all sides.

Step 4: The last step is to prepare your canvas for the application of your acrylic paint. Apply a thin layer of clear protective film over the top and then apply the acrylic paint. Stretch the canvas to make sure that it is even; do this by tapping your finger against each side. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving to the next step of the project.

Paint by numbers is a great way to create personal images or even wallpaper. These pictures can also be painted onto other surfaces like wood or metals. You can get inspiration from already-painted images. If you need more help with techniques and ideas, you can always buy a DIY guide that can show you the different methods.
