The Unexpected Benefits of Painting: Combating Stress and Anxiety with Paint by Numbers

The statistics around mental health are stark: stress, depression, and anxiety have become a major concern for people of all ages. In fact, more than 1 in 5 US adults live with a mental illness [1], including a staggering 1 in 5 children [2]. According to one company, art therapy can be a powerful tool for managing these mental health concerns.

Painting by Numbers Shop has developed a series of painting kits that provide a structured and accessible way to create beautiful artwork. The kits are designed to cater to people of all ages, offering a therapeutic outlet for individuals facing mental health challenges.

The therapeutic benefits of art activities are well-documented. Studies have consistently shown that engaging in artistic activities can significantly reduce stress hormones, improve mood, and enhance focus. For children, art can provide a healthy way to express emotions, build self-esteem, and develop problem-solving skills. For adults, art therapy can help reduce anxiety, manage stress levels, and improve their overall well-being.

“We strongly believe in the powers of art therapy and have witnessed firsthand the positive impact of painting on our customers’ well-being,” says Roman Drozd, CEO of Painting by Numbers Shop. “We have created a range of kits that provide a relaxing and stress-relieving hobby that doesn’t require any previous education or skills. Plus, people don’t even need to shop for additional art supplies, we include all the materials they’ll need.”

Unlike traditional painting, these kits require no prior artistic experience. The canvas is pre-printed with numbered sections, and corresponding paints are included. Customers just need to follow the guide and fill in the sections with the designated colors. This repetitive process can be incredibly calming, helping to focus the mind on the present moment and reducing intrusive thoughts.

Completing a paint by numbers project provides a sense of accomplishment and pride for customers. Each kit includes everything needed to get started, including a pre-printed canvas, high-quality acrylic paints, brushes, and an instruction sheet. With a wide variety of designs available, customers can choose a design that speaks to them.
