‘Painting by Numbers’ – it’s Back, and Trendier than Ever

Many residents love nothing more than sitting down to a relaxing session of mindful colouring – and painting by numbers is proving to be even more popular with discerning artists.

The revived art of ‘Painting by Numbers’ is a way for residents to practice mindfulness and exercise their creativity – by making their art piece their own and bending the ‘rules’ as they please.

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present, and completely engaged in an activity that isn’t so complicated that it creates stress. Instead, it helps you to focus and be completely in the moment.

And there are even more benefits – ‘Painting by Numbers’ is an excellent way for anyone at any age to learn how to paint, let tensions go, improve their mood, as well as their hand-eye coordination.

So why not try it today?
