Online Art Class on how to draw fairies and Mermaids with Jane Davenport
Joynal:
Create your own fairies and fairy tale characters.
Live class starts November 12th
Joynal is open for self guided study and you can join right now!
There are 8 ‘Weeks’ of magic, shimmer, whimsy, drawing, painting, creative support and fun. However, as with all my online Workshops, you have 12 months of personal, unlimited access, so you can take your time and rewatch the videos whenever you like.
My entertaining and highly information rich videos guide you step by step to drawing many styles of whimsical figures and faces. You also have full tutor support and get feedback on your artwork from me, as a professional artist. I have mentored thousands of my students to creative confidence.
My aim is to get your art courage flying through inspirational artwork and a supportive, artistic community.
This online class will take your creative skills forward in great bounding leaps and into the realms of fairyland.
Here is your invitation:
I would love you to join in!
Draw images from the depths of your imagination!
So what is a JOYnal?
I love creating in a sketchbook, or ‘Art Journal’. But in this workshop your journal will become so much more. We will magically conjure our Joynals from altered books, so that ideas can flow,and the temptation to be ‘perfect’ and only create ‘master pieces’ is well and truly avoided.
We will be making a mess, stretching our imagination and letting it fly free! Conjuring up, re-imagining, drawing and painting all sorts of fairytale characters from mysterious fey creatures to cute garden fairies and their cohorts.

Student testemonials :
” I have truly loved this class, Jane! Well, your classes are the best that I have experienced, and I have enjoyed all three (Supplies Me, I Heart Drawing, and Joynal). But, I have tried to understand why this is the best for me. I think part of it is the topic, Fairy Tales: Fanciful, carefree, my escape from the real world. Maybe, part is that I have gained some knowledge about art and have more confidence in my ability. But, I think the heart of it is the topic of this workshop and the whole approach you took to the workshop. My inner critic was able to take a mini-vacation, and I felt free to play. I cannot thank you enough for that, for your wonderful videos and for your awesome feedback about my art. I can hardly wait for the next class. ”

Amazing artwork form Joynal students Annette Stevenson and Bridie Williams.
“Jane…..this is NOT goodbye….just a small lull until our next online class with you!!!! This is my third class with you now … I can see it myself, how much I have grown into my art. Thanks to you I have heaps more confidence both in drawing (love faces now) and creative expression. I really love all your classes, videos, explanations, personality, caring attitude and wonderful teaching in ALL things big and small!!! ”
DANI GILES
As with all my classes, concrete skills lie at the base of each lesson and my skill in bringing out your own style.
l will have you trying new things and excavating your imagination to create juicy, amazing artwork in the form of fairytales.
Some of these skills include:
- step by step tutorials on how to create Flower Fairies, Fairytale Heroines, Pixies, Elves, Unicorns and Mermaids!
- Altering old books into a ‘Joynal’.
- Making your own Story Book!
- Drawing Fairy wings
- Creating Shimmer
- Drawing dresses that flow in the wind
- Inventing costumes
- Drawing from a reference to create any mythical beast
- appropriating and altering existiting photographs
- Incorporating your existing work into new pieces.
- Drawing a determined face
Art, like life, doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful!
Joynal assumes you are creativily confident just as you would be if you have started your ARTventure with me in my other online workshops. For example: Supplies Me teaches not only HOW to use your art supply stash, but also the basics of drawing faces and figures from your imagination. In Supplies Me you discover your favourite art-supplies to use as your magic wands! If you really want to magic-dust your wings, my figure-drawing e-course I Heart Drawing, will get your creative confidence soaring. These are not pre-requisites, but are highly recommended!
When you purchase several of my classes at once, you get a lovely, juicy discount too!
But I leave this assessment totally up to you!
If you feel ready to fly with the fairies…
then join in the fun!
If you really want to magic-dust your wings, my figure-drawing e-course, I Heart Drawing,
will get your creative confidence soaring. These are not pre-requisites, but are highly recommended. On my store site you will see details on purchasing several of my workshops at once and the savings when you do so.

Hi Jane, I would love to take this course. I’m doing I Heart Drawing and I’ve fallen in love with your art and your teaching style! But I haven’t done Supplies Me and I don’t think I’ll have time to complete it before this new course starts. I was thinking about taking Supplies Me after i finish I Heart Drawing. Now I’m just feeling all over the place – so much I want to do but so little time! What should I do?
Hi Lucy, Just do what you can before the class. You are fairly advanced, so I think you will be fine!
Oh Jane, thanks for saying I’m “fairly advanced”, but I don’t think I am at all… I’m quite a beginner, I know very little about drawing and painting, and very little about the different art supplies. I only started learning last September by taking my first art course by Jane DesRosier, which was a birthday present I gave myself.
Just try and stop me….
Hi Jane, looking forward to Joynal. Will we be using an altered book journal? Love fairy art, both vintage and modern (Linda Ravenscroft). Enjoyed your chat with Tam! Kaz
testing, it seems the last two comments i left can’t be left here?
ah, figured it out, my website link went to a certain page, not the home page and your website would not take that.
this class sounds magically wonderful.
I look forward to hearing more about it:
how long it will last
the layout of what we will learn
and the cost
then i can see if i join in.
I’m interested in learning more about Joynal!!! I’m going to be signing up for Supplies Me rather quickly here!
Enjoy a gorgeous day! ~H♥~
would love to delve in this class just signed up for i love drawing this looks really fun!!!
Jane, when you say pre-requisite do you mean you won’t let someone sign up for the new course if they haven’t done Supplies Me? I have friends who have taken several drawing classes and are interested in the fairy tale/whimsy genre but can’t put Supplies Me on their plate.
Hi Lynda,
You have a bit of experience with your favourite art supplies, then you are most welcome to join in to the fun of Joy-nal!
What i am trying to achieve with the pre-requisite is to get everyone ‘up to speed’ with their art supplies, so we can all concentrate on the drawing and other aspects of the class… sometimes when students are struggling with the basics of art supplies, they can get overwhelmed very quickly!
I am working on the detail of the class and will reveal all very soon!
Hi Jane
Would luv 2 do the class !!! Sounds like heaps of fun!!! Still working thru I heart drawing : ) x
Hi Jane,
I’d like to do the Joynal course. I’m working through your I heart drawing course, but as yet haven’t done supplies me. I luurve drawing fairies, and would love to journey on this with you. What do you think?
Can’t wait…I’m in…
oh Queen of Mess … xx
Dearest Jane, I have been waiting with so much anticipation for this workshop, my beloved faeries are coming out to play with Jane!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeyyy!!
Where can we join?
LOL wow I saw what I wanted to and ‘read’ your newsletter today as saying we could sign up for the Joynal class now – can you tell I’m excited about this :O) Eagerly watching for a ‘Sign Up’ button for Joynal…….
Hi Jane, this class sounds like a lot of fun. I hope to be able to try it some day. I love fairies and angels and all of the wonderful mystery surrounding them.
Looking forward to taking the fairytale journey with Joynal!!!!
I ‘m in–I’m in– I’m in! I have enjoyed your other classes, so how can I possibly miss this next one. Thanks for teaching and giving us the confidence to become fabulous artists–following in your footsteps.
Abso-Fairy-Lutely !!! I would LOVE this!! ohhh excitement overload!!!
Hi Jane, I have completed supplies me and am working my way through I heart drawing, so please sign me up. I love your classes
)
Hi Jane,
Currently I am enrolled in 2 of your classes and absolutely LOVE them and your style of teaching. I would love to try this class…..
Count me in!! I can’t wait Jane
Still working through I love Drawing at the same time 
xx
Hi Jane! Oh boy I’m diving in too! At the moment I am sort of drowning in Supplies Me trying to keep up and I heart Drawing has had to take a boat to shore for now, but I’ll pick that up after Supplies Me. Fairies and creatures – I can’t wait!!!
I was waiting for the right Jane Davenport course to come along at the right time…. and ….. [drum roll]…..THIS IS IT!!
WOW Jane I will be signing up for this course for sure. Magical sounds right up my alley.
Michelle
I’m taking Supplies Me at the moment and doing the classes in order each week and I’m just loving the whole experience. I would love to do the Fairy Tale class next.
My 5 year old granddaughter will be so excited to see fairies by Grammy. Mary
I’m afraid that I have more than enou experience with supplies. Did I understand that the actual class is a pre req? I hope not.
Can’t Wait to get started with Joynals!
Joynal sounds so magickal…I would love to create my own fairyland journal!
heck yeah, keep me posted. sounds like fun!
Yes please, bring on the Fae folk!! I havent got all the goodies from Supplies Me (though I wish I had!). Some are hard to get in the UK, and I can’t afford all of them – but I am sneeking them in gradually. So many wonderful courses I have no time for making art!!!
I think I’m in.
[...] some confidence drawing something other than a stick figure! She has new class starting soon, Joynal and I can’t wait for it to start! This entry was posted in Art Journaling, Mixed Media. [...]
Jane, I’m working furiously in your fabulous “Supplies Me” class so I can be ready for Joynal! Can’t wait!
I can’t wait for this one Jane! I’ve loved your other two classes so much. Fairies are my favorite thing in the world! Bring it on!
Wonderful! I’m in too!
So very excited for this – I too love fairies and art journaling!
I will be watching for more info….I have learnt so much Jane, thank you for everything you give…♥Debi
Jane, this sounds really cool! Will you be giving a discount if people sign up for supplies me and the Joynal course at the same time?
HI Jane & Angus,
Nice to finally meet you both yesterday. Can’t wait to sign up for the fairytail class in April. Can you reserve some of those luscious special red Peerless watercolours for me also? Hope Angus’ knee injury is on the mend. Love the aquamarkers that I bought from you also – just had to race home and play with them. You guys are sooo inspiring!
Hi my darling Jane! I saw your note on FB and already joined, how marvelous!!! Magic times ahead!
Okay so I saw your Bali Retreat… and I am going to find a way to be there come hell or high water! This class looks amazing. I have not taken Supplies Me… but I do have a background in Art… A BFA from Tyler School of Art in Metalsmithing of all things… What I do for my main art now is Lampworking (see my website or facebook page Dizzy Bead for examples…) I have been doing Mixed Media for about a month but I have played and experimented with so many different “Supplies” over the years that I do not think I would be overwhelmed… I do have the I Heart Drawing on my wishlist as well… I just have to say You are AMAZING… and I understand prices… I teach my art as well.. and you have to take into account all the experience and all the classes you have taken in the past…
there is space for you Diana! Ill PM you as well!
Hi Jane, what size book do you recommend? Thanks.
Hi Jane, what size book do you recommend?
I wil get to all the supply specifics next week Lucy !
Ah, sounds like fun, hope you reconsider the prerequisite requirement. Can’t justify the time nor cost for two workshops:( thrilled you’ll be at the Flower show tho!
Hi KAren, consider doing Supplies Me first? If you are really confident with your drawing and materials, then you can join Joynal!
Darling Jane, I only have 1 trip to the city before the workshop. What do we need to get? Do we need fairytale books to alter? Can you give me an idea of anything that I may need to look for and can’t order from you?
sorry, forgot to tell you, I saw your message about supplies next week, but I’m going to Perth on thu-fri this week!
Don’t worry if it’s too early darling.
Hi Jane, I was wondering whether I should do this class or the I heart drawing, as I haven’t done a lot of bodies as yet. I am almost finished Supplies Me and will be by the time this starts what do think would be best for me.
Hi Gail, I PMed you !
Jane
I loved your fairy video! Your/our class looks like it will be awesome. Your ability to breathe life into amazing classes touches my heart and is quite inspiring. You are a treasure!
Thank you beautiful Tammie, I love knowing you!
Jane, Count me in! Your video has my brain twirling! I’ll be dreaming of fairies tonight…
Jane,
I am so hooked! You are just the best and I can’t wait to start My Fairie Journal! I have learned so much from your classes . . . you are making my dreams come true. Thanks.
Why thank you Nancy! Yay for dreams!
Hi Jane,
I registered for both Joynal and Supplies Me. However, I haven’t received an invitation for Supplies Me, which I understand is a self-study group. Would you kindly let me in?
I PMed you Ana- don’t know what. Happened! My apologies!
Hi Jane, am doing the supplies course now and am loving it. I got a parsel that I ordered from you this week, and can I say how much I love the distress stains- love,love,love…you mentioned you may do a class at Sydney Easter show. Is that happening? Will call in to say hi anyway.
I know.! distress Stains are super awesome- and so are the new Distress markers… I’ll have them in stock soon!
I didn’t get organized in time! I have too much on my mind with Joynal and my tool workshop for LifeBook and FrolicAholic for 21 Secrets!
Im coming down for the craft show in jUne- maybe ill do something then!
Hi Jane, Does PMed me mean Personal message and if so where do I find it.
Cheers Gail
I responded to your email address again Gail.
[...] Joynal – Creating your own Fairy Tale! [...]
I am wanting to take Supplies Me Class. Is there a way to do a payment plan? I just can’t afford this all at once. I do hope you offer a payment plan for us that are on a tight budget.
[...] Joynal – Creating your own Fairy Tale! [...]
I am with Lizzy. I would love if Joynal had a payment plan as well. I have taken Supplies ME and I <3 drawing but my financial situation has changed dramatically in the last couple of months so it is tough for me to pay that much at once….
Hi Kat,
You can join Journal whenever you are ready, there is no rush! It will be open for at least a year I think.
I just don’t have the level of administration that allows for payment plans unfortunately.
I hope you join the fun as soon as you are able, the fairies are very happy with me in the Joynal classroom and will wait for you!
choose happiness,
Jane Davenport | Artomologist
I have to say that my 8-year old daughter, Lily, who’s favorite thing in the whole entire world … is fairies — will be taking this class with her 45 year old mama (me).
And as she is sitting here reading this over my shoulder, she’s screaming and jumping up and down, telling me that the end of April is too long to wait!!! Yay! We are so looking forward to it.
Hi Tanya, I’m screaming and jumping up and down too Tanya- we are gonna have FUN!!!

so I just wanted to say to anyone following the comments… I do things a bit off anyway… I had not done supplies me but felt I was ready for Joynal… I am don’t get me wrong but I decided to join in on Supplies me and OMG! There is some AWESOME info in there. I suggest you listen to Jane she hasn’t steered me wrong yet. Supplies Me will teach you all the little nuances that she uses with all her supplies. Worth EVERY cent and more! As is JOYnal and I Heart. She has given me the tools so I can create the things I see in my head. I have a Bachelor of Fine Art… and I am telling you, I have learned more in her online classes than I did in Collage and that is saying something. (And I went to a very reputable Art College)
How I adore you Diana!

Yippeeee! Thank you Jane for creating my dream workshop – I love fairy tales and have always wanted to create my own. Spent my childhood drawing dragons, unicorns, monsters and heroines – but stopped at 13 when friends laughed at my drawings. Picking this up again makes me really happy! There will be a lot of burnt spaghetti here for dinner!!!
