Woodland Display..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This again was a demo I just embellished. It was an exercise on color and the use of complementary opposites on the color wheel. Green on its own can be very overpowering, and although in nature we do see a lot of green, I like to 'jazz' it up with opposite colors, as with this image. The pinks and oranges help offset the green nicely.

Garden Gaiety..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

A loose and spontaneous watercolor, this one was great fun to paint.

I did not pre-draw anything. I just found shapes onto which to build my flowers after a loose throw of paint.

I am always telling my students to leave the whites of the paper showing through, and to be aware of the shapes they make as well, no two white shapes should be the same size and importance.

If the design is a good one, the painting should be successfully turned in most directions and still look okay.

Try it, this way of painting is very freeing..

Sandy Trail..Pastel.. Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just finished this one, experimenting with acrylic inks as a base.. I have no idea what this substrate was, it's not Sennelier or UArt, . I bought a few sheets off a friend who had them for a long while. 

I was a little scared to use wet media on this first, however it seemed okay, although I would not want to push it too much, as it began to lift the surface a little.

As I said, totally experimental.

The color was a soft greenish tan to start with and I used very wild pink and ocher colored inks as my base.

The size of this one is 11" x 15" unframed.

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.

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..

Bluebonnet Dazzle..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

When I moved to Texas from Maui, I swore I would never paint bluebonnets as they are a constant theme here with artists. 

Hmmm. well I guess lied to myself. 

These flowers are just so gorgeous when you see a hillside covered in that blanket of mauves and blues, simply spectacular!

They are all popping up here in Austin with this burst of spring weather, and I simply could not ignore them.

Having said that, here is my token BLUEBONNET pastel. It is on a  deep charcoal gray Sennelier sanded paper.

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

Journal Entry 7 (Arizona) Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

While in Sedona Arizona...a few years ago, we visited Jerome, a wonderful town, with 'ALPINE' vibes. 

There was a ghost town there and this scene is from that old relic in time. I loved it! Abandoned buildings, chickens, old trucks, even a donkey and a wonderful bearded old gentleman who I think owned the museum...lots and lots to paint!

I would love to go back there. Maybe one day..

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".
