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".

Cousins..Pastel..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

COUSINS is another image of Kookaburras..One of Australia's national icons.
I had these photos from years ago, taken at a place called Featherdale which is west of Sydney.

I love this place, one can interact with the animals and get wonderful photos.

These two are both Kookaburras, one is a Blue Winged kookaburra and the other is the more common regular Kookie.

I had two separate shots and joined them into the one photo in Photoshop.

They were actually sitting on a bench where people could pat them, as they are rescue birds, and very used to humans.

I made the background up, to block out all the tourists.

This image is another pastel on velour paper.
9.5" x 10.5" unframed.

This image is SOLD!

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.

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.

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"

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.
