Happy spooky season, beautiful artists! I thought we would take another pause from Halloween pumpkins this week to celebrate another great holiday, Day of the Dead! Marigolds, or "cempasúchil," are the official flower of Day of the Dead in Mexican culture due to their vibrant orange and yellow colors, symbolizing the sun and life. Their sweet fragrance is believed to guide spirits back to the living world, making them a central element in this annual tradition. Paint along with me step by step as we honor our ancestors. Happy painting, and stay creative!
