Repeats

 Yellow
9 x 12 oil on panel
Available on Etsy  $95 plus shipping

I teach workshops in palette knife painting and find its a wonderful introduction for beginners who are intimidated by a more structured approach that requires more intensive drawing skills and control.  It also works beautifully for more experienced artists who want to free themselves from tight representational control and loosen their approach.


This little yellow boat is a piece has been used several times in workshops.  Its simplistic shape makes it approachable, yet subtle shading provides enough of a challenge in colour mixing and shape manipulation to have a good learning curve.

You can find more of my work on my website Jeanette Jobson Fine Art, on my blog, Illustrated Life, and on Facebook and Twitter.  Stop by and say hi, I'd love to hear from you!

"Yellow Boat Waiting, Venice, Italy" by Karla Nolan

Walking down a flight of stairs and then directly outdoors from the bed and breakfast in Venice, there was a small canal -- not like the Grand Canal where the vaporettos run (like buses on water) -- just a small side street, if you will.  Here floated a small yellow boat, next to an old red brick building, under the red geraniums, waiting, waiting, waiting for its owner to take it further out onto the water -- maybe owner would be planning to pick up some groceries, get to work, meet up with friends?  I'll never know, but it was a Venetian sort of comfort to see this yellow vehicle ready for the day....

"Yellow Boat Waiting, Venice, Italy", 8"x6" miniature oil painting on canvas, $95 includes s/h in the continental U.S.
