Paint By Numbers

[Sheltowee]

Need a hobby….. badly.

Thinking of trying adult coloring books or paint-by-number kits. Ok….enough chuckling.

Found below offering for a Shiloh battle scene……and I am intrigued.

Has anyone tried one of these? Recommendations for history-related prints? Is there a website where more of these can be found?

Appreciate any guidance and advice.

If you google "civil war coloring book" you'll find quite a few available. Another option is to find a book with Civil War-period black and white engravings, like from Harper's of Leslie's magazines. Make copies of them, blow them up to the size you want, and color them with watercolors of colored pencils. I've done this in the past and it gives a really good result. Civil War-era people would do the same thing with the original magazine pages; you can still find them in antique stores.

Here's part of an example I did:
