This is a crescent watercolor board.. available through Dick Blick.

I absolutely love this surface, it comes in many sizes too. Not as rough a surface as Arches Co but this is a CP surface just the same.

A Wandering..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one. It's of the river area near my home. I have done several plein air paintings of it.

This one however, I painted in the studio today, from my photograph.

 Green on green is beautiful in nature, but in a painting, it tends to be a bit much of the same thing for me. 

 I usually play with complimentary colors, such as the orange/red family and even some blue/mauve colors as small accents amongst the green.

I hope you like this one. For me, it was very meditative to paint.

Peaceful Interlude..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I did this one a while ago, when I was just revisiting the wet into wet technique. A favorite way for watercolorists to paint. The danger of this technique is that we can lose the whites of the paper easily. I know I did with this one, but thought I would show it anyway.

I worked a little on it again today, to glaze some soft washes over places, it helped I think.

Waterline..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

First of all let me apologize for my absence and lack of posting of late. I had a family health crisis and needed to take some time away from my painting.
It's been like losing my right arm, and I JUST HAD TO GET BACK INTO MY STUDIO!


That happened late yesterday, and this is the finished result.


It's a pastel image on Sennelier pastel paper (unframed)


This image is 12" x 16" unframed.

Soft Light on the Pedernales..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This one is similar to the landscapes I have posted before. Had a great time doctoring colors in Photoshop. But.. now that program seems to have died on me!! Oh woe!

I desperately need my Photoshop.

Looks like I have to call my computer guru.. Grrr!😒😒

Anyway, this image is a pastel on a bright blue Colorfix paper.

It measures 15.5" x 18.5" unframed.

Valley Rapids..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

VALLEY RAPIDS is completely made up. It began as a demo I did for Jerrys Artarama a couple of years ago. This was the original 30 minute demo below.

Just Turning..Pastel.. Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

JUST TURNING is a scene from the area of Hamilton Pool here in Texas, the river is the Pedernales.


I love this area, so full of things to paint. I used Photoshop to embellish and vamp up my colors with this one, something I do a fair bit..


This image is done on a mauve colored Canson TOUCH paper, not one of my favorites I have to admit, just not enough 'tooth' to it for my style of painting.

Pedernales Roaming..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This pastel is unframed and is on a lovely French Ultramarine Blue sanded Colorfix paper.


The scene is of the Pedernales river area here in Texas, which I embellished a little in Photoshop to get some more vivid colors. You know me, I LOVE that color!

Twists and Turns Near Johnson City..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this pastel..

The surface is the all cotton sanded Pastel Premier paper.. I am liking this surface a lot especially for my landscapes.

The scene is mostly for memory, and is very near Johnson City on the way to Fredericksburg here in Texas.

I pass it a lot in the car, never stopping to take a photo, but it always gets my attention on the highway. That zig zag line again, can't resist!

The colors are very embellished to suit my mood, and I am sure with the end of summer, the river is nowhere near as full as this is, but I am an artist, what can I say?

Still Waters on the LLano River..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This small pastel is a quick sketch which may be used for a larger more substantial painting later on. I am enjoying this process. Small paintings stop us from detail.

This is actually done on black sandpaper from the hardware store, a less expensive option for playing. As I am not sure how archival this substrate is, the actual painting is not for sale.

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.

Sundown Glow..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Again I thought this one also could have a bit more spark, so I DUSTED this image as well. Here is the adjusted image.

I think this one works extremely well with additional DUSTING..

This pastel is done on UArt paper which I mounted to foam core. It is unframed.

I am playing with textures right now with my pastel paintings, and these grasses are great fun to explore with this technique.

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.
