What's in the box: Recent offerings are mostly digital: monthly video tutorial packs and seasonal workbook projects. Read the site's notice about kit changes before expecting physical supplies.
Let's Make Art started out selling watercolor kits and is best known for its friendly, beginner focused painting tutorials. Today its homepage reads less like a box service and more like a hub for learning online. The current lineup centers on a monthly Digital Pack (October's has a Halloween theme), a Mini Halloween Workbook with 12 seasonal projects, a Good Morning Journaling Course with weekly video drops, and watercolor calendars meant to pair with free tutorials. There is also a catalog of evergreen projects that you can paint whenever you like.
Shoppers should notice one small link on the homepage: "Looking for Watercolor kits/products? We've made some changes!" It suggests the physical kit offering has changed. If you expect a classic box of paints and paper to arrive every month, read that explanation before you buy. The site still mentions a monthly commitment, but the homepage does not say exactly what it includes. Some of the copy also looks a little out of date, such as a fall course described as inspired by summer.
The teaching is still the strong point. The tone is relaxed and encouraging, built around the idea that "it's just a piece of paper." Plenty of the content is free, so you can try the style before you pay. You can reach the company by email or at a P.O. box in Hamilton, Missouri.
