Painting and coloring for adults are a trendy hobby this days maybe because of the high stress world that is the norm today. A Painting by Numbers kit will include a brush, little pots of paint in however many colors you’ll need, and a printed outline of the picture. It may not look like much paint, but it should be sufficient paint for completing the picture. You can, of course, always use any compatible paint you already have. Tip for painting by numbers: Start with either the darkest color and end with the lightest or the other way around, leaving any segments that have a mixed color (double number) till last. The reason I recommend doing the colors in sequence from dark to light (or the other way around) is that this helps you learn a little about the tone and chroma of colors.
The paint by numbers also called number drawing, usually the picture on canvas is divided into different shapes that marked with a number which corresponds to a particular color. You paint in each shape with correspond ink and ultimately the picture emerges as a finished painting totally like print by yourself.
When you paint (or read) in the darkness your eyes are subjected to more stress to discern what you see. Even though it has never been scientifically proven as “bad” for your eyes, it is more tiring and can cause red eyes or even small headaches. Having a good lamp or painting next to a window is, therefore, the way to go!
Diamond painting is an easy and enjoyable activity for crafters young and old. Based on the same concept as mosaics and paint-by-numbers, diamond painting uses tiny “diamond”-like facets to create colorful designs and patterns for finished designs that sparkle. Review your chart and legend carefully before you begin. The packages of diamonds are labeled with the color name or number, but it might help to also label the bag with the symbol used for that color. This will help you quickly identify the correct color as you work. Paintingscart.com sells diamond paintings, paint by number paintings, pre made, custom photo and multi-panel paintings.

Diamond Painting is a new craft hobby that’s a mix between Cross Stitch and Paint By Numbers. Created in 2015, Diamond Painting was designed as an easier, faster, and more therapeutic alternative to Cross Stitch. In choosing between square and round drill, it’s important to know that there are no right answers. Your goal should be to choose whichever shape that YOU personally think is most beautiful :).
Some of the more obsessive among us need our diamond lines to line up perfectly! We recommends taking an old credit card and running it through the slots between the lines of drills so they all get pushed into place.
Each Diamond Painting Kit comes with everything you need to get started!
– Pre-printed canvas with design chart (with pre-applied adhesive)
– Color diamonds delivered in separate bags (labeled)
– Diamond pen tool
– Pair of extra-sharp tweezers
– Wax pad (used to pick up diamonds)
5D Diamond Painting is another name that indicates the art of painting with diamonds. The 5D stands for the special effect that the artwork conveys once finished, as it gives a very realistic effect. 5D stands for 5-dimensional and it’s about resins/diamonds used in painting. The resins are 5D. You can see the difference below.
