Having downtime is as precious as gold these days. With remote schedules, having a work-life balance is oftentimes overlooked and we forget that we need some me-time as well, especially at the end of a stressful day. Many have found new hobbies or rekindled with old ones the past months – what’s your favorite one these days?
Painting can be overwhelming especially if you’re a beginner: all the sketching and color mixing can make you abandon it all at once. But you don’t have to feel so overwhelmed with these paint by number kits. They’re like the popular adult coloring books, just with acrylic paint. You don’t have to mix paints anymore; just follow the guide! We’ve rounded up some stores where you can find them, and it can be your next favorite hobby paired with a glass of wine:
