Water Patterns..Watercolor ans Fluid Acrylics..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just felt like playing today. 

This one began from nothing at all in mind, and I just experimented with Fluid Acrylics, and let them flow on the page, helped by my blow dryer.

I dried it completely then and began to find my lily shape into and over the paints. 

With negative painting I brought my flowers and lily pads into focus.
                                                                    Great fun.

Captured Glory..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one today.. loving these Crescent Watercolor Boards.

I stumbled on them a couple of weeks ago and have not looked back since. 

The surface is Cold Pressed, and the panel is a rigid support.. so when framing it, one coul even omit having to use foam core onto which to mount the painting.

They come in quite a few sizes too which I like. 

Captured Glory is available ..

$450 plus S/H

Alaska Dapple..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This pastel is another done on the Colorfix paper. The 'dusting technique' is used at the end of this piece, to get the sparkle.

The scene, mostly made up, although I saw many such scenes in these soft misty colors while on a trip to Alaska a few years ago. The light is so soft there, wonderful to paint.

Ridgetop Display..paste..Texas Artrist..Rae Andrews

I guess I am on a bit of a roll (yet again), now it's with dramatizing my values, and trying to keep to darker contrasts.
Sunsets are always great for this, so here is effort number 2 in this vein.

This image is pastel on Sennelier paper.
It measures 11.5" x 12.5" unframed

Fall Dazzle..Pastel.. Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just finished this one. I worked on Sennelier sanded paper, a rust/tan color.
I knew I wanted the contrast of the blues against that complement.

This one is mostly made up although I did start with a photo I had of a waterfall.  In Sketch Club, I played  on the Ipad , overlapping some more water and rocks.

Painting waterscapes always relaxes me, I love to do them!
I hope you like this one.

Garden Muse..Pastel Portrait on Velour Paper..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This portrait was fun to begin with, then I think I lost the likeness.. then it came back..Ya da! Ya da! Ya da!

It's amazing what a small light stroke or touch up can do in painting a portrait, it can change the whole face! And it did, several time as I said!

The trouble is, this is my husband Thomas, and when one knows the subject so well, I believe it makes it harder for the portrait artist.

It certainly does with me. I might work more on this in a day or two, I can see many things which need tweaking.

By the way, my husband likes it!

This is a pastel on velour paper $13.5" x 19"

Shadowed Stroll..Pastel..Landscape.. Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Well here is the finished painting. 
I am happy with it, but of course as most artists, I find areas I could have done better. Oh well, back to the studio.. 
I do love this surface of Kitty Wallis paper.. 
I did not use any watermedia underneath this, it's all pastel.

Shadow Dance, Alaska...Acrylic...Landscape...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

A few years ago I was in Alaska, wow! What gorgeous scenery. It's taken me a while to even paint something from that area, it's all just gorgeous.

Today I thought I would leave the houses alone from previous images, and just do a landscape.

Even the colors are very much softer for me. However, the scene was a mid morning light, and shadows were a lot more seductive.

                                   This image is an acrylic on textured board (unframed),

Jazz Session..Abstract..Watercolor and Liquid Acrylics...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

   JAZZ SESSION  was a fun one to paint for me. I love color, and the painting just seemed to remind me of a jazz bar I frequented as a teenager in Sydney back in the late 1960's and early 1970's called Red Ned's.

This image was not planned out at all, and the music notes and part of a guitar came out of the paint.I love doing these sort of jigsaw puzzle paintings.

Caribbean Rhythm...Abstract Watercolor and Liquid Acrylics...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I think it's healthy for an artist to paint in a series of connecting images. One image helps the next, or at least that's what I hope.

These little paintings are very challenging, nothing (for me) is by chance, it's all by DESIGN.

My initial colors are LIQUID ACRYLICS and when they dry, I try to make the shapes and colors CONNECT.

I am sure my puppies think I am nuts, when I place these on the floor with mats on them, and walk around and around the image till I know which way is 'UP'.

They watch me intently, with a curious and accepting look.. I guess by now, they know that's just 'what I do'....SIGH..

Anyway, back to this image.. It is unframed and presented in a mat ready for framing.

Leaves...Watercolor and Liquid Acrylics

 I love to challenge myself with design.

 I am about to teach a small workshop using watercolor and liquid acrylics...(and if you know me), I had to do some 'test' paintings. This is one of those.

I don't like to pre-draw images for the most part, and instead let my paints run and fold into each other making interesting designs into which I can 'fit' a subject ...

I used Golden Liquid Acrylics with a small squirt bottle to start this one. If one leaves a lot of white and interesting negative shapes, they have a better chance of finding a subject and bring it into focus.

I worked with WATERCOLORS to get the leaf shape, and of course, NEGATIVE PAINTING.


                                               This is a 7" x 12.5" image (unframed)
                                                                  $150 plus S/H
