The activity involves using a pre-printed canvas divided into numbered sections, each corresponding to a specific paint color. The participant fills in the sections with the matching paint, eventually revealing a picture of a popular Canadian National Park. For example, one might see a numbered canvas depicting Lake Louise, with areas marked ‘1’ to be filled with a specific shade of blue, ‘2’ with a particular green, and so on.
This pursuit offers a relaxing and accessible avenue for creative expression, suitable for individuals regardless of artistic skill. It fosters mindfulness and provides a tangible sense of accomplishment upon completion. The activity draws upon a larger history of simplifying art creation for amateur artists, making iconic landscapes attainable for personal enjoyment.
