The painting depicts a boat manufacturing workshop on the Mediterranean seaside. The Painting is original in terms of composition, light transitions, color palette, and techniques. The boat is a symbol of a journey of life.

The boat immediately evokes a passage, carrying you over the watery depths. The boat can symbolize a spiritual journey on the sea of life. Boating triggers a restful state. It provides the means to get outside of daily routines, allowing our brains to reset, think beyond our current circumstances, and connect to something bigger than our daily struggles.

The Mediterranean Sea is treasured by many Cairenes as a place to find rest, peace, and pleasure due to its breathtaking landscapes and monuments, and unique cultural sites.
Artists frequently visit the Seaside to research color, light, and motion.

Type of canvas: linen fabrics, Linen comes first in terms of strength and not absorbing refined paint oils


Sable brushes; While many other natural and synthetic hairs are used for brushes, nothing has quite matched the quality of sable. A brush head made from Kolinsky sable, a Siberian weasel whose hair costs three times the price of gold by weight, is the best for control and pinpoint accuracy.

For solvents, the artist used turpentine, which increases the fluidity of oil paints but makes the binder oil dry faster, also used clove oil as a solvent to delay the dryness of the binder, as it delays the oxidation process.


As a binder, the artist used Linseed oil, which dries to form a strong flexible film, and also Safflower oil(which takes more time to dry).

Artists mixed high-quality pigments with both Binder(linseed oil) and Solvent(turpentine) to create the desired consistency and finish.

Impasto technique, is the technique used by the artist to create this painting, where paint is laid on canvas thickly, usually thick enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible, when dry, impasto provides texture.
