"Trust that still, small voice that says, 'This might work and I'll try it.'"

Looking for someone who lives nearby to meet to sketch and watercolor together out in the world? Or looking to find out who carries your favorite art supplies? We have over 800 people who are members of our newsletter list. If you are one who'd like to be able to email others on the list, you can sign up for our Yahoo Groups!

5. Edit your membership to set your email to "individual email" to receive each email sent to the group, or "daily digest" to get all emails strung together once a day, or set to "web only" to read messages only from the website.
