10" x 8" Watercolor, mixed media on Yes panel
I entered this painting today in Jerry's Artarama Lucas painting contest and the deadline is May 31 so if you have any Lucas painting products, acrylic, watercolor, oil or acrylic you might want to enter. It states on the entry form you will receive an email that Jerry received the entry. So far I haven't received notification so I will call to confirm later tomorrow. An artist is allowed two paintings and there isn't an entry fee and nice gift cards.
I used my Lucas Travel palette shown on this post. The artwork must be comprised of at least 50% Lucas paint. I added some white from another brand and some Caran d'Ache Neocolor II crayons.
Let me know what type of finish you use on a Yes canvas. I used a clear acrylic spray finish. In fact, I used and intermixed several things I hope "things" will stay on. More than anything I was experimenting on the finish. I like the effect of the watercolor on the Yes canvas and plan to use it again. It lifts and blends super easy. I first heard about this canvas at the Liz Hill Workshop last year. See my blog post HERE.

Nancy, I love your painting and hope you win! Great job.
Thanks, Jeanie. I'm glad you like it.
Wow, Nancy, I love this one. Good luck in the contest!
I bought some YES pads to try with acyrlic - I'll have to test out wc too. I love the idea of framing without plexi.
I have some Lukas wc that I bought for Judi Betts class - maybe I'll enter something too.
Sharon, be sure and let us know how you like them with acrylic. I would love to see the work if you enter. I called Jerry's this morning but fellow was out of the office that handled the contest so don't know yet if they got my entry.
Love this!
Thanks Kelly can't wait to get back to more Yes canvas.
