Paint by Numbers for adults is an accessible way to engage with color and creativity. You don't have to draw, mix colors or have painting experience yourself. The motif is divided into numbered sections and each color of acrylic paint has a matching number. This way you can see the painting being created step by step.
The Schipper sets are made for those who value a neat end result. You paint on sturdy painter's cardboard with a visible linen structure. The acrylic paint is pre-mixed and the set contains the supplies you need to get started right away. Choose a compact design for a manageable project or a large triptych or five-panel if you want to paint longer.
When choosing, pay particular attention to the motif, the size and the amount of detail. Calm landscapes and designs with larger areas of color are nice when you're first starting out. Motifs with many small boxes and subtle color transitions offer more challenge.
Clear contours, well-matched colors and a solid surface make a big difference in a painting project. Schipper combines these parts into complete sets. The pre-mixed acrylic paint saves time and helps to maintain the intended color distribution. The control sheet is useful when a number is no longer legible during painting.
Many paintings are suitable for framing after completion. Therefore, also view the matching picture frames for your chosen size. This way you can hang the end result neatly or give it as a gift.
Choose an image that you would like to look at for a longer period of time. In the Schipper range you will find landscapes, animals, flowers, cities and buildings, fantasy and famous paintings. A nature scene can have a tranquil appearance, while a cityscape or well-known work of art often contains more fine details.
A fixed, well-lit workplace makes it easier to continue painting regularly. Lay the painting cardboard flat and make sure you have the paint pots, a cup of water and a cloth within reach. Preferably work with clean water and close each paint jar immediately after use. This prevents colors from becoming contaminated or drying out unnecessarily. If you want to clean up the work in between, keep the painting cardboard flat and protected from dust. With an organizer you can keep paint, brushes and other tools neatly together.
No. The numbered areas and pre-mixed colors guide you through the entire painting. Start slowly and work color by color.
The exact contents vary per product, but you will usually receive painting cardboard with a contour drawing, acrylic paint, a brush, a check sheet and painting instructions. Please check the product page for exact contents.
As a beginner, choose a motif with clear, somewhat larger color areas and a clear format. Also check out our selection of Paint by Numbers for beginners.
