The Peculiar Poetry of Paint-by-Numbers: When Art Becomes a Recipe

from Sunday Morning Curious · host Podcaster

Those neat little numbered canvases hiding in craft store aisles have a surprisingly rebellious history and a devoted following of people who find zen in filling tiny spaces with predetermined colors. We explore why this 'paint inside the lines' hobby feels both nostalgic and subversive, and meet the adults who've turned what some dismiss as 'cheating at art' into their own form of creative meditation.
