Joanne Fan


I am a Joanne Sharpe fan.
I have taken her on line classes since her first (I think) Letter Love.
I even got to take a couple of classes from her in person when she came to 
Whim So Doodle in St Petersburg, FL.
So when she started her on line classes in January, Draw your Awesome Year, I was all in.
Because I am working, I am not quite up with the group but I am plodding
along, doing my own thing and once again, enjoying it immensely.
My word of the year...yet again
Here's a sampling
To begin...


Joanne is such a great teacher and these classes are on your computer for forever.
Her themes are POSITIVE and just a great cure for a grey day.
Grey day???  We haven't had any of those lately, have we?
We can make our own sunny day.
Happy PPF!

I love the idea of making your own sunny day :) Your pages are wonderful Susan! I am taking my time with two of JoAnne's classes and am awaiting her soon to be released lettering book. I love her enthusiasm and style.

Cheers!

Your paintings are wonderful - lively and colorful. I took Letter Love and found Joanne to be just a lovely woman as well as a talented artist

*my life is my masterpiece*... i love that.
i am also a fan of Joanne's work - your samples here are fabulous. I can tell you had fun doing them. Isn't that the whole point? i'm not a big believer in having to suffer to make art. Sometimes, it's born out of suffering, but it can also be born out of a joyful heart. Thank you for sharing! xx
