Working with paintings by numbers can be a fun and relaxing creative activity. Here are some step-by-step instructions based on our experience:

 1. Gather Your Supplies:

Each set should include paints specific to the picture.

Paintbrushes of different sizes.

A control sheet or checklist, which is an image identical to the canvas for reference.

 2. Understanding the Control Sheet:

The control sheet is an important reference tool. It displays the complete image as it should look once painted.

Use it to check already painted areas and make any necessary modifications.

Keep the control sheet until the painting is complete.

 3. Use Paint Sparingly:

To conserve paint, use as little water as possible.

Rinse the paintbrush and wipe it before dipping it into the paint you need.

Don't worry about running out of paint; there should be enough to finish the picture.

 4. Be Patient:

Painting by numbers is a gradual process, and it may take anywhere from a few days to a few months to see the final result.

The time it takes depends on how much time you spend on the project.

 5. Prevent Paint Drying:

Paints can dry out as you work, so close each paint container in the set after use.

Cover the pigment cup when not in use to prevent it from drying out.

Store acrylic paints at a temperature above freezing, preferably at room temperature.

 6. Start with Darker Shades:

Begin by painting the darker and brighter shades on the canvas.

Work your way to the lighter tones.

Don't hesitate to apply multiple coats of light shades to completely cover the numbers.

 7. Varnish and Frame:

After completing the painting, let it dry for two weeks.

You can varnish it to protect the surface and give it a finished look (varnish not included).

Consider framing it to display your artwork.

 8. Seek Help if Needed:

If you have any questions or encounter difficulties during the process, don't hesitate to reach out for assistance from the provider of the painting by numbers kit.

Remember that painting by numbers is meant to be enjoyable, so take your time and have fun with the process. It's a great way to express your creativity and create beautiful artwork."
