I did this one as a demo on my online classes.

An exercise on leaving interesting negative spaces and using a limited palette of colors.

Quiet Whisper..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Pink Sorority Girls..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This one was done earlier this year, after my Spain trip. I just love placing geometry within my floral watercolors especially. Somehow it seems to draw the eye to the subject for me. It also stops me from moving into the white areas and overpainting.

Soft Light and Trees..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I finished this one  late yesterday, it is just a small sketch, great fun to do these. I was experimenting with light and doing these small paintings very quickly, this one took around 15 minutes.

Working this fast, one can only go for the necessary elements, and not stay too long on details. A loose and spontaneous image is the result.

I used a little rubbing alcohol over the pastel underlay first. Then proceeded with my pastels once it was dry.

My surface here is Pastel Premier paper, which is a great surface for wet media as well.

Treeline on the Ridge..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This is a small little pastel on my mystery paper, have no clue what it is? I was tetsing it with the acrylic inks as an under base, as with the previous post, just to see how it went.

It passed enough for me to do the larger more detailed pastel i previously posed.

Sandy Trail..Pastel.. Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just finished this one, experimenting with acrylic inks as a base.. I have no idea what this substrate was, it's not Sennelier or UArt, . I bought a few sheets off a friend who had them for a long while. 

I was a little scared to use wet media on this first, however it seemed okay, although I would not want to push it too much, as it began to lift the surface a little.

As I said, totally experimental.

The color was a soft greenish tan to start with and I used very wild pink and ocher colored inks as my base.

The size of this one is 11" x 15" unframed.

Bluebonnet Dazzle..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

When I moved to Texas from Maui, I swore I would never paint bluebonnets as they are a constant theme here with artists. 

Hmmm. well I guess lied to myself. 

These flowers are just so gorgeous when you see a hillside covered in that blanket of mauves and blues, simply spectacular!

They are all popping up here in Austin with this burst of spring weather, and I simply could not ignore them.

Having said that, here is my token BLUEBONNET pastel. It is on a  deep charcoal gray Sennelier sanded paper.

Zig Zag Path..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just completed this on this weekend. I used a lot of the scumbling technique and a little bit of 'dusting' at the end of the process.

The scene is here in Austin, Texas, and to the everyday walker I would think it just looked 'green'..
To me, however, as I love color, I saw turquoise and mauve.. We artists are a strange lot huh?

But I think it great we can look at things through 'rose colored glasses'.

Embankment and Shadows..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one. I have been cleaning my studio and doing menial house chores for the last two days, ugh! I needed to get back into something I love..

My morning walk passes this scene every day, or at least the trail and the trees.. In Texas the colors are way too green for me, so I embellish a lot.. Had you noticed?

Anyway, here it is, a pastel on Sennelier sanded paper (unframed)

11.5" x 15.5" 

$325

Journal Entry 7 (Arizona) Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

While in Sedona Arizona...a few years ago, we visited Jerome, a wonderful town, with 'ALPINE' vibes. 

There was a ghost town there and this scene is from that old relic in time. I loved it! Abandoned buildings, chickens, old trucks, even a donkey and a wonderful bearded old gentleman who I think owned the museum...lots and lots to paint!

I would love to go back there. Maybe one day..

'Fella'..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

'Fella' was a dog I saw in Spain a couple of years ago, and try as I might he would not look at me; but instead was intent on looking at something off to the left. Still I managed a good shot of him. Such a cute little dog..

This is a pastel on velour paper.

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".
