Charming coastal and nautical paint by number art and DIY kits to create your own masterpiece.
Millions of Americans were into paint by numbers in the 50s and 60s. Craft Master was the first Paint by Number Kit that hit the market in 1951, invented by Palmer Paint Company's Dan Robbins; other manufacturers followed. Paint by number art done by hobbyists are not only still around, but the good ones have become collectibles. The good news is that the price tags for vintage paint by number art has remained low and you can find finished vintage paintings on canvas at Ebay and on Etsy, as well as finished Coastal Paint by Number Prints on Etsy, some even as digital downloads (also see links below).
