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.

Garden Muse..Pastel Portrait on Velour Paper..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This portrait was fun to begin with, then I think I lost the likeness.. then it came back..Ya da! Ya da! Ya da!

It's amazing what a small light stroke or touch up can do in painting a portrait, it can change the whole face! And it did, several time as I said!

The trouble is, this is my husband Thomas, and when one knows the subject so well, I believe it makes it harder for the portrait artist.

It certainly does with me. I might work more on this in a day or two, I can see many things which need tweaking.

By the way, my husband likes it!

This is a pastel on velour paper $13.5" x 19"

Quiet Time...Pastel...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Well what can I say? I wanted a change from the crusty olf men I have been painting of late, and this could not be farther from that subject.

I have never been one to paint in a 'romantic' genre, but this subject was so appealing to me with that light.
I made the model a redhead though, she was a dark brunette originally.Somehow the reds felt better .. Of course that blue went to well with those warm colors too.
I was on the internet and came across Richard S. Johnson's romantic art.
It was his website where I saw that wonderful blue.
I had this photo from a few year ago and thought why not, I can do this in that 'romantic' genre.

It started better than it finished though, might have to try doing it again.

This one is a pastel on light gray velour paper and is unframed.

Aussie Anzac..Pastel Portrait..Texas Artist.. Rae Andrews

I wish I had gotten this old guy's name when I took his photo many years ago.( 30 years at least)

I was teaching in the country area of Bathurst in NSW Australia.

I had a flex day during the week I was there, so I drove to the wonderful and well painted old gold mining town, of Sofala.
Characters abound here, and they are very friendly folk. 

This gentleman was sitting sunning himself and rolling a cigarette, when I asked him if he would mind if I took his photo, he replied.

"She'll be right mate! I get asked that all the time" (FYI ...In Australian, this means..okay!)

So I did, and I am only just getting around to doing a serious painting of him now.Well what can I say, I've been busy!

This is a pastel on velour paper.
14" x 19.5" unframed.

Moroccan Charmer...Pastel Portrait..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This guy was in Morocco when I was there about two years ago.
I actually had hold of this snake too.My face was not so calm!

I was so happy with this photo, that even though I don't do portraits that often, it sure peaked my interest. I just had to paint him.

This one is a 15.5" x 11.5" pastel on velour paper.
