Treeline on the Ridge..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This is a small little pastel on my mystery paper, have no clue what it is? I was tetsing it with the acrylic inks as an under base, as with the previous post, just to see how it went.

It passed enough for me to do the larger more detailed pastel i previously posed.

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.

$125 plus S/H

Dusk Over the Marshes..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one. Trying out my new Heilman Double Sketchbox and easel.

A little pricey, but well worth it I think. I love the small box for my plein air excursions.

I have a large Heilman pastel box as well, but it is so cumbersome for me to cart around the countryside or overseas.

Hence I bit the bullet and purchased this small one. I think it does the trick perfectly.This box opens to around 9.25" x 14.5" wide, enabling me to fill it with pastels on both sides, plenty for traveling. The closed box is only 7.25" x 9.25" .

I also purchased the 18" easel (I had the 24" easel with my larger box) .
These easels  slot neatly into the ready made holes Heilman have made for it. Works so well!

FYI..This whole outfit cost $180 for the box and $50 for the easel..

Embankment and Shadows..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one. I have been cleaning my studio and doing menial house chores for the last two days, ugh! I needed to get back into something I love..

My morning walk passes this scene every day, or at least the trail and the trees.. In Texas the colors are way too green for me, so I embellish a lot.. Had you noticed?

Anyway, here it is, a pastel on Sennelier sanded paper (unframed)

11.5" x 15.5" 

$325

Treetop Rascals..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This pastel is done on black velour paper. 

I rarely use black paper, although the drama of it speaks for itself. 

However, it is extremely difficult to get the lights and darks to read on this surface, especially with VELOUR PAPER.

The subject is of Lorikeets or as they are called in Australia, LORRIES.. 

Little imps which fly all over the eastern regions of Australia and are forever present in the treetops, calling to one another. The colors are truly amazing!

I hope I did them justice here.

This pastel is unframed and measures 9" x 15".

'Precious'..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Precious was a gorgious little diog owned by a friend of mine. She passed away a few years ago. 

I have actually done a portrait of this little baby before, but felt I wanted to try again. 

This pastel is done on velour paper, hence the bright and gorgeous colors!

The image is approximately 8" x 10" unframed

Me Too? Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Another pastel on velour paper, this one is hot off the easel.  This little dog was somewhere on my travels in Europe, and I managed to get a few great photos of him/her.

I know a lot of artists steer clear of this VELOUR surface for their pastels and  I have to admit, it takes some getting used to. 

However, the magical results of that 'buttery' pastel color on this surface always has me captivated.

This image is 11" x 11" unframed.

Fall Drama..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

FALL DRAMA is really an imaginary place.. I overlapped two very colorful photos over each other and 'played' with the image on my IPad.
This is the result. Great fun, and a nice way to just 'let go' with colors out of the ordinary.

I hope you approve.:))

Miss Nosey..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Meet Penny.. She was a wonderful dog, and belonged to my dear friend Evelyn,  both of whom have passed now.

Penny is a pastel on tan velour paper. I love this 'tricky' surface for my portraits, especially animals!

As I am conducting a pastel workshop with animals as my subject in January, I thought I had best 'pastel' up on my techniques.

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.

Bush Walk Textures..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Bush walk Textures is a small pastel, using layering of WORKABLE FIXATIVE as a tool, not a means to an end.

I have never liked using FIXATIVE, however, I find it great to protect underneath pastel layers, so I can SCUMBLE more soft layers over the areas. This is how I get this wonderful texture.

I also used a little DUSTING as a final touch.

This image is 6" x 8" on an unframed panel.
