Why Women Choose Paint by Numbers

For many women, life is a whirlwind of responsibilities—work, family, friends, and endless to-do lists. Finding time for yourself can feel impossible. That’s why so many women are drawn to paint by numbers: it’s a gentle, accessible way to slow down, breathe, and create something beautiful, even if you’ve never painted before.

• Stress relief: The repetitive motion of painting and the focus on color help quiet the mind and melt away worries.
• A sense of accomplishment: Completing a painting brings real pride, especially when you see your finished masterpiece on the wall.
• Connection: Many women use paint by numbers as a way to bond with friends, daughters, or mothers—sharing stories and laughter as they paint together.

Emily’s Story: Finding Calm in a Busy World

Emily, a marketing manager from New York, discovered paint by numbers during a particularly stressful period at work. “I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious all the time,” she shares. “A friend suggested I try painting by numbers, and I was hooked from the first brushstroke.”

For Emily, painting became a nightly ritual. “I’d light a candle, put on some soft music, and just let myself get lost in the colors. It was the only time I truly felt relaxed.” Her favorite part? Seeing her progress each evening and eventually hanging her finished paintings in her bedroom. “Now, every time I look at them, I remember that I can create something beautiful, even on the hardest days.”

 

Maria and Her Daughter: Creative Bonding

Maria, a mom from Texas, wanted to find a screen-free activity to share with her teenage daughter. “We tried baking and puzzles, but nothing really stuck,” she laughs. “Then we found MyArt’s paint by numbers kits. It was a game-changer!”

They started with a floral kit and quickly made painting a weekly tradition. “We talk, we laugh, and sometimes we just paint in comfortable silence. It’s brought us closer together.” Maria says her daughter now proudly displays their finished paintings in her room, and they’re already planning their next project—a custom kit from a favorite family photo.

Sarah’s Journey: Healing Through Art

For Sarah, a nurse from Illinois, painting by numbers became a form of self-care during a difficult time. “I was dealing with burnout and grief after losing a loved one,” she explains. “I needed something gentle, something that would help me process my emotions.”

Sarah chose a calming landscape kit and found comfort in the simple, repetitive motions. “It was like meditation. I could let my feelings flow onto the canvas without having to say a word.” She now encourages her friends and colleagues to try painting as a way to cope with stress and find moments of peace.
