Sunset Aftergow..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

SUNSET AFTERGOW is inspired by Maui and all the beach walks I did there at sunset. The soft and romantic colors are wonderful at this time of evening. How I miss that part of island life.


I always fine soft high key colors difficult to portray in my art, so this was a challenge.

                                  This image is unframed and measures 8" x 10".

North Shore Drama..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Well here is another 'reworked' demonstration. You had better get used to my reworked demos, I have A LOT! Please forgive my indulgence.

There were parts of this especially the middle wave (see below image) and crest which I did like and wanted to keep.

It used to look like this cropped version below. I had only cropped the image in Photoshop and pondered that version for a while. In hindsight I perhaps should have gone with this interpretation.

However, I hated to waste this gorgeous sheet of Sennelier paper.

So...I decided to stay with the whole image and try and make it work.

This top original image is 19.5" x 25.5" and on a dark blue Sennelier paper.

Dramatic Entrance..Pastel..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Dramatic Entrance was another demo half finished I had done a few years ago.

I decided to keep working on this one, and over the last two days it has evolved to this.

The scene is completely made up, yes, I have rocks in my head! Ha!

This is a pastel on Sennelier sanded paper which was a pretty bright red color.

                                      This image is 19.5" x 25.5" unframed

Surf's Up...Watercolor...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I felt cool just painting this.. It's 90 degrees outside and climbing! 

I love doing these soft focus seascapes. Watercolor is the perfect medium in which to paint these.
It's more about what you leave out, rather than what your put in the painting.

I have to exercise a great discipline in leaving the whites though, and still keep the painting action packed and natural looking.
 I hope you like this one.

Coastal Edge...Acrylic Seascape...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I had a few smooth gesso boards in my studio and decided to test the waters (excuse my pun) with acrylics.

I have to say I don't love this surface, it's way too smooth for me, I prefer some tooth to the substrate. However a challenge is always good for us, is it not?

I am an intuitive artist and when I paint any kind of waterscape, I generally make the up image.

I sometimes have a photo to get me started, but they will never be the same as any reference. I feel so long as I capture the 'essence' of the photo I am fine.

I will often do some work prior to actually painting the subject, on my IPad with a stylus, and see what I can 'nut' out.. This is the result.. I hope you like it.

This image is an 8" x 8" acrylic on smooth gesso board
