How I came across the paint by numbers?

 I came across it in flipkart or Amazon sort of. Not sure what I was searching for, probably painting related. I found the paint by numbers kit. It was priced around 500₹ and I bought one kit. 

It probably took more than 15 days time. It was written as oil paints and I thought that's how paints were supposed to be. Not dry but not too flowy like acrylic either. Anyways, hard to comment on a first kit. But the output was one I liked. It was small cells mostly and no colouring on canvas. I didn't iron and just. Just painted by numbers. 

It was difficult though so I decided not to try this one again. But painting I liked. 

After that I bought some lesser priced kits that came and one of it had very good flowy paints and that's when I decided, this is it. I want to paint these kits for some time. The other kits were ok, one with wrong numbering and all but ok, for a just something to try.

Later more kits came up and I'm still doing painting kits. So that's my paint by numbers journey's beginning. 

Diamond kits

Well, I thought it was something expensive from the word diamond at first but later I got to start on those too. It's sticking stones corresponding to the number alphabet etc. so that's my journeys starting.
