Journal Entry Texas scene..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just finished this journal entry.. a few years ago I was at the banks of the Pedernales River not far from where I live here in Texas. It’s a great spot to paint.

Lately we have had an enormous amount of rain and flooding, so this area is a good place to stay away from till the water subsides. 

I used an old photo for this journal entry.

 It’s in my Stillman and birn 8” x 10” Beta series journal.

Thanks for visiting..

Garden Shambles..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

 

 

Sometimes we simply don't have to tell the whole story. This vignette is an example of a 'short story' ..

The garden at Le Vieux Couvent is a rambling and at times, an unkempt garden, perfect to find  the occasional small vignette to paint.

This began as a demonstration, and the photo below shows me in the garden pointing out the area I wanted to concentrate on.

                                                   This is a watercolor on Arches paper.

                                                                  11 ' x 15' unframed

Garden Pleasures..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This scene might look familiar to you. I did a small watercolor of it a few days ago.

It is the garden at Le Vieux Couvent, the refurbished convent we will all be staying in on our upcoming France trip.

Visualize this, our evening vino right here, watching the sun go down. Ahhh, bliss!

This garden will be a wealth of artistic creativity I am sure.

This image is 12.5" x 19.5" unframed and is on Sennelier sanded paper.

Bonjour..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just finished this one. I love painting small vignette's of a much larger scene.
Just that little bit more personal I think.

This is a pastel on an unknown sanded paper, not sure what it is. I had it in my stack of papers so though, oh well..

I did use a little alcohol wash underneath the pastel to get my values .

Then away I went with my gorgeous pastels, BONJOUR was born!

Hope you like..

The Gathering.. Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This pastel is done on Sennelier sanded paper. It is unframed.
It measures 19.5" x 25.5"

The beautiful bird is actually of Gomez, who was my (BABY) macaw's 'boyfriend' when I lived on Maui.

I superimposed Gomez several times, but opted to just do the two birds and some made up flowers.

Sunny Side..Pastel THE PROCESS....Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

While on my usual walk each morning, I see this lovely tree all the time,. Sparse and glowing with the sun on it. I decided I wanted to paint it.

I photographed it and placed my photo into Sketch Club on my IPad.

I cropped the scene, then overlapped a photo of an old colorful painting of mine making 2 layers.

I often do this, especially if the actually colors are a little dull in my photo. It is challenging to find a happy medium, not too colorful, yet, giving the scene an 'edge'.

With my trusty stylus, I manipulated the colors to fall in areas that pleased me, and flattened the layers.

The results I hope speak for themselves. I was ready to try a painting.

In This Land Of Magical Beasts..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I have done this image before in acrylics, at least a version of it.

My source photo was a composit I made in Sketch Club on my IPad. I love that app. I overlap my images in many layers to get some wonderful shapes.

The hard part is transposing them to my pastel paper.

 In this case, my paper is Sennelier paper which was a bright rust color.
I also splashed the surface with water to get the mottled texture effect I have used in the past. A new practice for me, and one I love obviously. :))



The image is unframed and measures 19.6" x 25.6"

Happy Dance...Watercolor Floral...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I am conducting a WET INTO WET watercolor workshop next week, and needed to 'brush up' (excuse the pun) on my technique.. 

WET INTO WET is fun, but has it's quirks, and the artist has to be disciplined with that brush and the amount of water used.

No pre-drawing on this image, just allowing the paint to do the work.

This image is unframed.

Spanish Garden Pathway..Watercolor Landscape..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I decided to get back to my roots so to speak and do a few watercolors. This one is the first in a while.

I have missed this medium. As with many artists who paint in all media, sometimes some of them get left in the dust. I have been doing a lot of pastels lately too as you might all know.

 I think I am due for a change.

Stay tuned for more new images. For now, anyway..:))

Image size is 8" x 14" unframed.

This painting is $150 plus S/H.
