Spring Accents..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just finished this one after a lovely walk in the greenbelt of Lake Travis yesterday. The colors of spring are everywhere, what a perfect time of the year!

This is an 8" x 10" pastel on a new substrate for me, a MULTIMEDIA BOARD .

I ordered a few of these the other day, and while the jury's still out on it, I am finding it interesting to use. 

I began this image with a loose watercolor under painting, then used my pastels over the top.

The surface is not that gritty, so I found I had to be super careful with my pressure applying the pastels.

Bull Creek Cascade 2..Pastel Plein Air...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This is my second attempt on Tuesday's plein air excursion. 

The wind came up and blew two sheets of my paper (not waterproof) into the creek, and Char fished them out for me, ruined of course. Oh well, the joys of plein air fun!

Luckily it was not a pastel painting already finished. 

This one is 5.25" x 9.5" unframed

Bull Creek Cascade 1..Pastel..Plein Air..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This small pastel on Sennelier paper was done on Tuesday en plein air.

It's a race against the sun while painting en plein air, as most of you already know.
That light is ever elusive, and changeable, so one has to work quickly.

Tuesday here in Austin was a glorious day, and what a great day to share with my painting buddy Char, We stumble over the rocks together searching for the best spot in which to paint. We often have to give each other a hand up or a 'boot' up, it's a scream!

I guess to onlookers, we look a bit crazy, but we sure have fun!

So.. having said that, I managed two paintings, both small, and maybe something I can work on as a bigger painting in my studio later.

I mostly do small outside paintings, to get the feel for the scene, and if I like the experience, I will often make a studio painting from these sketches.

This is 8" x 11" unframed

Over The Rocks..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This paintings unframed and measures 10" x 14".

Bull Creek 3..Gouache..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This small GOUACHE painting is of the Bull Creek area quite near me. I have painted it many times.
Just a lovely place to paint.

I am finding GOUACHE a great alternative to other plein air choices.

I tinted this watercolor paper with a soft yellow first in acrylics. After it was dry, I painted the scene in gouache.

I hope you like it, a fun one to do.

Bull Creek 1 and 2..Gouache...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

See framed sample below of this image from Fine Art America.

One of the small gouache paintings I did en plein air yesterday. This is Bull Creek in Austin.

I always tint the surface first with a bright color, to get the 'pop' of freshness to show throughout my image.
This one was a wild magenta.

The painting is done in GOUACHE, my new favorite for plein air painting.
