Join watercolor artist, Sarah Cray and her special guest, Stacy. They are teaching us how to paint a festive candle for our Merry and Bright Let's Make Art Matter watercolor project. Each month we come together to brighten someone's day with a thoughtful piece of art in the mail. Stacy joined Sarah to honor her mom. At this time we ask that postcards no longer be sent to Stacy's family. Instead, please send an art hug to someone special in your life.

Led by watercolor artist Sarah Cray, who has a flair for teaching both basic painting techniques and concepts that make projects achievable for beginners, intermediates and beyond.
