Our Story

My little sis asked me what I do with my paintings. I told her I put most of them in a book that I can go back and look at later. She questioned why I paint if that’s all I do with them. To me the answer was obvious … I paint because it makes me HAPPY. Thank you Sarah for bringing joy to so many people. Without your tutorials many of us would just be grumpy old ladies … I can’t change the old lady part … but I’m certainly not grumpy if my watercolors are nearby. Bless you 💕

Let’s Make Art saved me during the Pandemic, I was home alone and overwhelmed with nothing to fill my time. I started on some paint by numbers and then found Sarah on Youtube. I never looked back! Not once in my life had I painted but Sarah taught me skills I never knew I could master. I got my daughter into it and we would paint together on Zoom, those times saved me. I jokingly say I have a modicum of talent but honestly, I think Sarah could teach anyone. Thank you everyone for what you do at Let’s Make Art, don’t underestimate the power you have to change things and uplift people. I can’t say enough how much I love you guys and watch and work over the tutorials, I love it all so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I joined Let’s Make Art near the beginning. I just happened to be seeing the ads during a particularly stressful time in my career and, for whatever reason, decided that I was going to learn how to watercolor to help release some of the stress from my daily life. Not ONLY did Let’s Make Art create a productive way for me to decompress but it has opened up my love for art, awakened long latent desire in me to create and it continues to deliver valuable lessons to me even today when I’ve moved up and out in my art and am creating in multiple mediums. I thank Sarah for her thoughtful descriptions, her silliness, her real talk about dealing with your inner voices when you’re creating. Let’s Make Art is transformative and I tell everyone I can about it. It’s accessible to EVERYONE and that’s what makes it so special.

It had been a long time since I painted. A paint brush felt like it weighed a ton. I had stopped painting to focus on starting a family, and my two autistic kids kept me plenty busy. I never seem to have enough time to focus on painting and I was afraid to fail again. 11 years passed and I watched many watercolor tutorials with lust but still unwilling to pick up that brush. Then I found Let’s Make Art. I couldn’t help it and had to purchase some lessons. 6 months after the lessons arrived, I gathered my two sons and asked them to paint with me. I was surprised at how easy it was and how I wasn’t a loser in painting after all. Thank you Sarah Cray for your ever optimism and cheerful encouragement. Now we have three artists in the family.
