Paintables - Original Maritime Art Kit

Tiny canvas. Big Maritime heart.

Paintables are 4x4 miniature paint-your-own canvas kits, each one starting life as an original piece of art hand-drawn by Maritime artist Jill Laskey-Parry of Jilly Bean Studios. No offshore templates, no mass-produced outlines — every design in this collectible series is sketched by hand, right here on the East Coast, before it ever becomes a kit you can paint at your own kitchen table.

Each Paintable comes with everything you need: a pre-sketched 4x4 canvas, easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, and a curated palette of high-quality acrylic paints chosen specifically for that piece — not the flat, generic primary-colour sets you'll find in typical paint kits. We're talking real pigment, real coverage, and colours picked to capture the actual mood of the coastline, the harbour, the sky before a squall rolls in.

But a Paintable isn't just a craft kit — it's a little piece of Maritime storytelling. Tucked inside every box is the personal story and local lore that inspired the artwork: the lighthouse your granny swore was haunted, the wharf where the fog never quite lifts, the little corner of home that only makes sense once you've lived it. Jill paints whimsy into every scene, and she teaches you how to bring it to life yourself.

Whether you're a lifelong painter or you haven't picked up a brush since grade school, Paintables are designed to be approachable, relaxing, and genuinely fun — a mini art night in a box. Collect the whole series, gift one to someone who misses home, or start your own tiny gallery of hand-painted Maritime moments.

Makes a great gift, fun project or activity:

- Hand-drawn originals — every design starts as original art by Maritime artist Jill Laskey-Parry, sketched by hand, never mass-produced

- Rich, pigment-heavy acrylics — smooth coverage that outperforms the thin paints found in typical kits

- Colours built for the coast — curated shades chosen to capture real Maritime light and mood, not off-the-shelf primaries

- Beginner-friendly steps — clear instructions guide you to a finished piece, no experience needed

- A story in every box — the local lore or personal memory behind that piece's artwork

- Made to collect — a 4x4 miniature series meant to be gathered, displayed, or gifted

- Homegrown by a Maritime artist — designed and made by a local artist and teacher, with the story that inspired it.

About The Artist
