Paint by Numbers painting tips

Before you start painting, you should have a glass of water ready to clean your brushes. Depending on the nature of the paint-by-numbers kit (covered or uncovered), place the picture on the tables and place it on an easel.

Then check which colors need to be applied to the numbered areas. Important: only paint with one color at a time - from the larger to the smaller areas. This will prevent you from constantly washing the brushes. Also, start painting with the dark colors first and finish with the very light colors. Let the painted areas dry before you start with the other colors. Use the fine brush to fill the areas completely with color up to the edge. Be patient and take your time painting the subject.
