A Quick Chat with William

What’s your favourite part of the paint by numbers process?

"It's the moment of 'flow,' where the numbers and sections disappear, and you're just lost in the color and the movement of the brush. It's pure meditation. That, and seeing a customer proudly share their finished masterpiece!"

Any advice for a first-time painter?

"Don't worry about being perfect! Trust the process, enjoy the journey of watching the image come to life, and remember that every single brushstroke is a small victory. The only goal is to relax and have fun."
