What is it?
Paint by the numbers is an art activity where a picture is divided into numbered sections, and each number corresponds to a specific color. You simply fill in each numbered area with its assigned color, and when you're done, the picture is complete. It’s kind of like coloring with a cheat sheet except you don’t have to figure out what colors to use or where they go; you just follow the plan.
Why do it?
For me, paint by the numbers seemed like a good hobby to learn while passing time away in home Hospice as it takes lots of time and patience to complete a painting. Also, not having much artistic ability, it provides a way to create a painting without much artistic ability.
