Easy Art: Color by Number Coloring Books and Pages
Color by number coloring pages help young children learn numbers and colors also aids in develop hand-eye coordination. Math results color by number sheets involve solving simple addition, subtraction, multiplication or division problems to discover the coded color number for each shape.
Adults of all ages and older children enjoy both color by number and Paint by Number leisure art activities. My first oil painting was actually created from a Paint by Number kit I got for Christmas when I was 9 years old. I mostly followed the paint by number guide, but being a budding artist I took liberties with the colors ... you can, too

Coloring Pages Creative Fun for Adults and Children
Most children and many adults enjoy coloring pages and color by number printables offer a change of pace from basic picture coloring activities.Adult coloring is a popular hobby that's relaxing and helpful for many types of rehabilitation therapy. Adult coloring pages are more complex and difficult than typical coloring book sheets, and many artists publish coloring books of their artwork just because older kids and adults enjoy coloring.
Coloring by the numbers or color by letters is similar to the famous paint by number art hobby kits. You match up your crayon, marker or colored pencil colors to the numbers on each part of a color by number picture and when you're all finished coloring you have a beautiful work of art.
You can change up your colors to use complementary colors or follow the guide exactly. The color wheel at right shows the visible spectrum of most common hues. Complementary colors are the colors that are directly opposite one another on the color wheel.
Some color by number printables and coloring books feature masterpiece artworks or intricate, complex mazes. This lens features my favorite links to excellent color by number printable coloring pages and books I like.

Color Charts Help You Create an Artistic Masterpiece
If you design your own color by number pages, you can have fun with the colors: key the shapes in your picture to any color you like.If you'd rather do your own thing, you can customize color by number pictures for yourself, friends and family members. Get things interesting by using the color chart but replace each color with its complementary color.
Basic Complementary Colors
Red - Green
Purple - Yellow
Blue - Orange
Complementary colors are hues that are opposite one another on the color wheel spectrum. When artists use complementary colors together they create a picture that is harmonious to our eyes. If you replace a color with its complementary color (and varying tints and hues) in your color by number picture, you can create vividly interesting artwork using a secret artists' technique the great masters employed.

- This brings back fond memories from my childhood. I believe that I learned so much from painting by numbers which carried over into my painting over the years. I've introduced my grandchildren to these. Both love to paint and are always fascinated by the progression of my paintings as they follow the steps to completion. Thanks for all the great info and resources.

A new way to train the brain and have fun too. Connect pairs of like numbers with a path that uses the same number of squares and shade them in; so two 2's next to each other can be colored in right away. But rather than using a plain pencil, pick up one of the six colored ones we've included and color the path to match the numbers.
