Choosing A Jigsaw Puzzle

Choosing a jigsaw puzzle for the first time or less experienced puzzlers should choose an image which has various distinct areas of color. You should also choose a puzzle with an image that appeals to you. For example; if you enjoy the oceans and beaches you might want to start with a beach puzzle or ocean puzzles. Photos or drawings with distinct lines are easier than paintings because the brush strokes cause object boundaries to become blurred. Also the artist may use the exact same color in several places on the painting. A first timer may wish to try 300, 500 or 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles for starters, and then progress to a larger number of pieces from there.

Oceans and Beaches

There is a certain tranquility about oceans and beaches. You can sit on the beach, put your toes in the sand and listen to the waves hit the beach. This can be very relaxing. Many people find walking on the beach allows them to clear their mind and be more creative. The sound of the water is a soothing sound and can relieve the the stress of everyday life. Even photos of the ocean can be enjoyable to look at. Try to put together a beach jigsaw puzzle someday. This will give you some time to just let your mind wonder as you see the photo come together. An ocean puzzle can provide the same enjoyment.
