Painting days

I thought I would share a little bit of what has been keeping me occupied for the last few days

I was walking around the mall (even though Im supposed to avoid shopping) and found a whole Paint-it-yourself section in the children's department at Parksons (you can also find it at the children's dept at Isetan) In a bid to actually save some money and keep myself distracted for a few days I decided to get one (plus Ive always secretly wanted to paint). I chose a 'complicated' Venetian scene for my debut masterpiece - a depiction shown on the bottom right of the box.

Each pack comes with a canvas which has been drafted out and clearly marked with numbers, as well as paintboxes neatly arranged by number.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to fill in the spots marked on the canvas with its corresponding color. A highly addictive activity if I do say so myself. Once I started, I really couldnt stop.

All through the night...

And day...

and the final result....

Ta-da! What a wonderful masterpiece no? You dont even have to tell anyone that it was paint by numbers! Im going to head back to get me another painting, this time I shall transport myself to Santorini.

Great activity if you want to keep yourself occupied indoors. If not, you should head out to Sepang for the Formula 1 weekend, or to KLCC for the Twin Towers Live 2011 celebration of F1. Maybe Ill get my painting soon since they're closing the roads near my house (P.Ramlee and Ampang) to make way for the party go-ers

Paint-it-yourself kits are not just for children, though can be found at the children's department in Isetan and Parkson. Each kit comes with a marked canvas, corresponding color paintboxes as well as brushes. A set like mine costs RM99.90 (RM89.90 after discount), though there are other sizes as well
