Painting by numbers

I had a free trial of a 'painting' by numbers app on my tablet, which I enjoyed. However I refuse to pay beyond the free trial! Sorry, I can't remember the name of it.

DH has done several of these. He is not remotely arty but can produce a rather good picture this way. The finished results of the slight more expensive ones (£20ish rather than. £10) are much better, due to the finer detail. He does sometimes need the aid of the magnifying lamp though.
We buy them on line too.

I haven't done any myself but an American friend has done some lovely ones, she does them as gifts too.

I’ve never done painting by numbers, but years ago someone gave me, for my birthday, a painting kit that was just an outline sketch that you had to put paint on. They provided acrylic paints, but I used my own oils and the finished result was rather pleasing. It was a bowl of ox eye daisies and iris. I think they were a forerunner of what is now known as greyscale painting or painting without numbers and you can still buy the kits it seems. Anything that gets people picking up a paint brush has my seal of approval.

This brings back happy memories, Sunlover.
As a child I asked for a painting by numbers kit for Christmas. I received the most beautiful oil painting kit of a ballerina. I can still picture it clearly in my mind.
I would imagine it would be a very therapeutic hobby. If you decide to try it, please post a photo of the finished painting for us all to admire.
