| painting by numbers | Paint by number (or painting by numbers) are kits, popularized in the 1950s, by Max Klein and the Palmer Paint Company, among others. Included in the kits is a number board or canvas with corresponding paints to be filled in. Dan Robbins who worked for Klein as an artist is often incorrectly credited with inventing the genre, which predates his 1951 involvement. Michelangelo has been credited by some with the original idea by assigning colors to various areas of the Sistine Chapel for assistants to fill in over some 500 years ago Oyunlar | ry |
