Here I Am ! Watercolor..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Here I Am ! is a watercolor on Arches CP paper.
I did this one as a demo on my online classes.

An exercise on leaving interesting negative spaces and using a limited palette of colors.

The students did amazing work! I was blown away.

Design in Turquoise and Magenta..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

 This was a bit of an experiment in design. 
I began with a lot of squiggly lines on the dry paper with masking fluid, and delineated some floral shapes as well.

On went the paint, and the 'pulling together' later of making something out of the mess. LOL

One just has to stay focused and check composition regularly when intuitively painting like this. Great fun though, gets the cobwebs out.

Fan Palm Canopy..Step by Step ..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I guess I am on a bit of a close focus track right now, loving the abstraction.

As you might know by now, I love to challenge myself with design options and lots of color.

My reference photo was taken from my back yard, and it was on a very dull overcast day.  

I tweaked my colors and contrasts in Photoshop and found a nice combination this way for me to paint.

I would be lost without Photoshop, it's a must for artists or at least a similar photo correcting program.

So here is the overall process, I hope you like it..

The next post will be the result of my efforts.

Miss Nosey..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Meet Penny.. She was a wonderful dog, and belonged to my dear friend Evelyn,  both of whom have passed now.

Penny is a pastel on tan velour paper. I love this 'tricky' surface for my portraits, especially animals!

As I am conducting a pastel workshop with animals as my subject in January, I thought I had best 'pastel' up on my techniques.
