About Joan Waff

Being a One Stroke Certified Teacher has broadened my teaching abilities and has given me the opportunity to share this technique with many people. I feel that painting is a way of spreading happiness to everyone.

I am a "self-taught" artist with over 30 years experience. The One Stroke technique that I will be teaching on this site, I did go to certification classes and learned the teaching processes and painting technique.

I have been painting for over thirty years in many different techniques of decorative art. I have taught decorative painting in local shops and sold my work in shops, art galleries and shows. Before decorative painting, I made porcelain and cloth dolls and sold them across the U.S. to over 200 shops. Making dolls gave me the experience to share and teach.

I received my certification to teach One Stroke painting from Donna Dewberry, after completing multiple test boards that she approved.
