Joanne Sharpe’s Inspirational Art Journals

Learn to make personalized art journals for your hand-lettering with techniques from The Art of Whimsical Lettering author, Joanne Sharpe.

Joanne Sharpe | Runtime (95 min)

Hand lettering is fun to do but sometimes it’s hard to know where to put it. In Joanne Sharpe’s Inspirational Art Journals, Joanne demonstrates how to create three types of lettering journals that will work for all your lettering needs! Turn a humble composition book into a Letter Love Journal, where you’ll be able to store all your lettering inspiration (think font samples pulled from magazine pages or postcards) and where you’ll be able to practice creating new fonts. Then, learn how to make a simple accordion style journal into a gorgeous work of art, but in a small enough size as to not be intimidating. You’ll also learn how to create a pamphlet stitch journal and look through samples of Joanne’s to get ideas for how to fill it.

You’ll also get

  • A lesson in creating watercolor frames for your letters
  • Using Tombow markers in place of watercolor
  • 95 minutes of workshop instruction with Joanne Sharpe

Some great ideas to get your creativity motivated. Also some great tips for using all of the markers, paints, paper, and so many tools that you have sitting around your studio. I was very inspired. I always enjoy her videos.

There wasn't a lot of information in this video even though it is very long. Joanne showed different types of colorful journals she made. Joanne talked about very basic things and didn't start painting in a journal until 60 minutes into the video. Lettering started about 20 minutes later. Not sure if it was even worth my time watching.

Wonderful course! I really appreciated the way Joanne introduced the many supplies she uses and then gave detailed instructions and demonstrated how to use them. Her lessons were very organized...nothing was missed. Very inspiring!
