...a WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY.....#THE100DaysProject

Hello friends! 
Sorry I missed last week's Whimsical Wednesday.  I was in Cincinnati at a photo shoot for a new book coming out Spring 2018.  Can't wait until I can spill the beans and let you know what it's all about.  There's still so much content to create, so it will be a little while.  It was so much fun, making art "step outs" for three whole days.  There's the hint,  it's about ART!
HERE'S THE STUDIO AT F+W (in an intentionally blurred photo):

Have you heard about the #The100DayProject?  It's an Instagram thing, where people all over the world are joining in and posting not just about art, but 100 "things", "ideas" and photos for 100 days.  So I have joined in myself with "#100 Words and Whimsies".  Believe it or not, the little quick post is easier for me than the Whimsical Wednesday right now, because I have so much going on with 5 NEW online classes that have openned since January, writing the book,  creating teaching proposals, etc.  It's all good.  I am so grateful for my job and love every minute.  There just aren't enough minutes in a day!!!

This is my little mantra for day#5 of 100.  You can follow me on Instagram and see them all each day at this link:  @joannesharpe

I did this for 31 days at Christmas and I felt so accomplished achieving the daily goal and enjoy going back and reviewing all the art that I completed and shared in that time frame.  So have a look!

Until next time, happy Spring and make every moment matter living an artfully inspired life!

....Come join Jane and Me!

My awesome friend Jane Davenport and I  are running our popular workshop  "Miss Quoted" LIVE  starting April 4th.   Stop on over to Jane's website for all the details.   We've added some BIG BONUS LESSONS this time around! Here's Jane's message:

Miss Quoted is going LIVE on April 4th!

Maybe you have just discovered a new-found love of watercolor and ink with my Mermaid Markers, INKredible pen and watercolour palettes? Maybe you already looooooove watercolour and ink! In Miss Quoted you learn how to mix colours and use your supplies to keep colours fresh!

This workshop is a unique collaboration with best selling author and the 'Queen of Lettering herself, Joanne Sharpe. When we combined our expertise for Miss Quoted, we created a delightful mix of artful lettering and lettered art! Before creating this workshop, I was always a bit 'shy' of the hand written elements in my artwork. While doing Jo's lessons as we were creating this class, two things happened; 1:  I improved! 2: I came to accept my own hand script and enjoy my own artful writing. So much so, that when I created my Mixed Media Collection with American Crafts, I used my own quirky lettering for papers, stickers and tapes. So I know that 'Miss Quoted' delivers a major confidence and skill booster!

What I bring to the workshop is specific lessons on drawing whimsical, artful girls. I introduce my famous 'Birthday Suit' technique, and show you how to draw braids ( I call it Doodling and Strudeling!). We have innovative techniques to help you select colours for your art, how to audition ideas and then add artful lettering if you want to.

You may be wondering what supplies you need. Both Joanne and I recommend to use whatever you have, but we also share our favourites!  We are also updating the workshop with new lessons to include some of my new JDMM art supplies! Mermaid Markers, my Petite Palette Watercolours,  Aqua Brushes and INKredible pen would be perfect!

HEAD ON OVER TO JANE'S WEBSITE FOR ALL THE DETAILS AND REGISTRATION I hope you Join me and the watercolours ( and the inks, and pens and Jo! lol!) in Miss Quoted. It's a wonderful basis for further watercolour exploration and can only grow your lettering confidence!
