Freshly Plowed..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I have done this scene before in acrylics on canvas. Who knows, I might do it again in oils.

A friend gave me this photo, thanks MJ..
I loved it! The colors, the panorama, the distance, it's a painting waiting to happen! I believe it's a scene near Blanco here in Texas.

Ominous Prediction..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

 I saw so many skies like this at sundown while in France, just captivating. The way the light hit the rolling hills, just had to paint it.

I love cloud formations, and the drama they portray! Wow!

Last Light Over the Hills, France..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Another landscape of the area around Frayssinet in southwest France . This area is dotted with sheep farms, and wonderful pastures.

I just happened to be walking at twilight and saw this heavenly sky, just had to try and do it justice.

I also love this panoramic format, challenging but perfect for this genre.

The substrate is a sanded paper, not sure which one, but it's not Sennelier. Maybe Wallis?

Diving into my stock drawer is a bit of a lucky dip with selecting my papers for pastels. :))

September Skies..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Another pastel demonstration to show people the way to approach SKIES.

After my quick demo, all the students tried their own version of a dramatic sky, and WOW! they all did so well. I will post a few soon.

The key to a painting such as this, is simplicity, as little detail as possible, making the sky 'the star of the show'.

This image is SOLD!
It is 9.5" x 12.5"

Soft Light and Trees..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I finished this one  late yesterday, it is just a small sketch, great fun to do these. I was experimenting with light and doing these small paintings very quickly, this one took around 15 minutes.

Working this fast, one can only go for the necessary elements, and not stay too long on details. A loose and spontaneous image is the result.

I used a little rubbing alcohol over the pastel underlay first. Then proceeded with my pastels once it was dry.

My surface here is Pastel Premier paper, which is a great surface for wet media as well.

This image is 3,5" x 8" unframed
