2020 was an incredibly hard and strange year, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it was also the year of discovering new hobbies. Those who had never touched a stove learned the art of cooking. New Etsy shops opened at an alarming rate. Novice bread makers, sewers, candlemakers, TikTokers and YouTubers came rolling, needling and dancing out of the woodwork, all just to avoid becoming stir-crazy.

And then there were the at-home Picassos, who finally found the opportunity to unleash their creativity — but not without a teensy bit of help. Paint-by-numbers kits quickly became one of the top quarantine purchases for adults and kids alike, mostly because many require little-to-no skill and it is a stress-soothing leisure activity.

In 2021, the paint-by-numbers trend is still here to stay, but you have to be extra mindful about which paintings you choose. We’ve listed a few options ranging from beginner-friendly to expert level to help you gauge how much of a challenge your inner artist is ready for.
