Rainforest Mystery..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Lots of fun doing this tropical painting.

I am getting ready to teach a lesson on strong darks and drama using watercolors. 

There is truly a myth about watercolor, where people are led to believe that watercolor cannot get dark..

This is ALL watercolor and look at those strong darks!

Alaska Dapple..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This pastel is another done on the Colorfix paper. The 'dusting technique' is used at the end of this piece, to get the sparkle.

The scene, mostly made up, although I saw many such scenes in these soft misty colors while on a trip to Alaska a few years ago. The light is so soft there, wonderful to paint.

This image is unframed and measures 8" x 8"

Through The Trees..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This pastel image is on sanded UArt paper. 

I did a wash under painting using my new toy ART GRAF.

These are very concentrated color wedges, and when activated with water, you get very intense pigment washes.

My set is all earth tones, but there are colored blocks as well, might have to get them also.

I bought mine off Amazon.

This image is 9" x 12" (unframed)

Lake Sam Rayburn Colors..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Image was DUSTED on the sandy areas in the foreground of this image. 

 Just that hint of additional texture gives this area spark I think.

I have just returned from a fabulous few days at my buddy's lake house on Lake Sam Rayburn in southeast Texas. 

Thanks Vicki, for having us all!

Wow! The morning and afternoon walks with my puppies were delightful, and the scenery was superb, so expect more beachscapes from me in the future.

This one is a long elongated format, a favorite of mine on which to paint. 

It is done in pastels on Sennelier paper.
8" x 19.6" 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.

Rising Heat... Landscape...Pastel...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Today I decided to get the old pastels out again for a while, so don't be surprised if you start seeing more posts such as this one.

This is actually an Australian landscape I took a photo of years ago, I think it was somewhere near Yass? 

I taught workshops for years in the country areas of Australia, and this is a typical scene a lot of my Aussie followers will identify with.

I of course love to embellish my colors, and this image is no exception. However it is pretty close to the actual photo I took..

I have to admit (though) my sky is very much embellished, fun to sculpt the clouds, especially in pastels.

Enjoy..
