This is such a cool way to learn to paint, Brooke! I think you hit on a very important distinction on why hobbies - art of just doing - are invaluable to us.

Love the paint by number. I did a custom one of Al and Shannon at a restaurant it was the last Mother’s Day we had together. It turned out ok and it is hanging in the living room.
