Coastal Edge...Acrylic Seascape...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I had a few smooth gesso boards in my studio and decided to test the waters (excuse my pun) with acrylics.

I have to say I don't love this surface, it's way too smooth for me, I prefer some tooth to the substrate. However a challenge is always good for us, is it not?

I am an intuitive artist and when I paint any kind of waterscape, I generally make the up image.

I sometimes have a photo to get me started, but they will never be the same as any reference. I feel so long as I capture the 'essence' of the photo I am fine.

I will often do some work prior to actually painting the subject, on my IPad with a stylus, and see what I can 'nut' out.. This is the result.. I hope you like it.

This image is an 8" x 8" acrylic on smooth gesso board

Convergence...Landscape...Acrylic...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Here is another SKY SCAPE done in acrylics on stretched canvas.

I am enjoying this genre.. It's fun to mold and sculpt the sky. When I get that in place, I add a very simple landscape area, in this case, a sand bank and mountain area.

This one is an 8" x 10" image.

$160 plus S/H

Heat Of The Day.. Semi Abstract..Pastel and Acrylic... Texas Artist ...Rae Andrews

I stretched the mood a little more with this one, making my colors a little more intense.And the board was a deep rust color, so the colors I painted over this had to be a but more 'gutsy' for effect.
This is a pastel on a sanded board. I used my acrylics first, to get a REALLY bright start, then used my pastels over the top.

City Colors

                                   This is an 8" x 10" unframed collage and watercolor on Canson paper which I
                                                  then mounted onto foamcore ready for framing.

I truly had so much fun doing these, they make the brain think, no chance to get bored with a collage.
