Artist painting a colorful abstract canvas with a palette in hand.

Art has always been my favorite therapeutic outlet. When I’m having a particularly stressful day, I turn to one of three things to unwind: a great novel, my guitar, or a paintbrush. At the beginning of the pandemic, I rediscovered my love of painting with a little help from a paint-by-number kit I bought on a whim from the craft store, and let me say this: These sets are not your kits of yesteryear. When I was younger, the images you had to select from were, to put it bluntly, lame. The options available today? Well, let’s just say I have more than one of my creations proudly displayed on my walls right now. From modern picks with a minimalist spin to renditions of famous works to custom art (yep, I’m talking custom paint-by-number kits, folks!), there’s a lot to choose from out there. Below, you’ll find 15 paint-by-number kits sure to help you relax, de-stress, and finally fill that blank space on your wall. Here’s to a little art therapy for all!

*Note: Some of these kits include an optional wood frame, while others only come with the canvas. Read the description carefully before placing your order to ensure you make the right selection for you.
