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.

$350 Plus S/H

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.

Double The Trouble..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Some of you might recognize my boys, this is Pebbles and Bam Bam, the loves of my life!

They are from two photos I had and I wanted to place them in water, to try and get a reflection and ACTION image.

I made the water up. It was a fun image to paint, and I am pretty pleased with this one.

This image is 18" x 24" unframed

The substrate is a dark gray Sennelier paper

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!

Aussie Joker..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

These are my all time favorite Aussie birds, I just adore them. They cackle all the time in the treetops, and it's always what I remember the most about waking up...  their chuckles. 

Once one starts, that sets them all off. So the Aussie bushland is constantly 'LAUGHING' at you..... Very funny!

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.

Fall Drama..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

FALL DRAMA is really an imaginary place.. I overlapped two very colorful photos over each other and 'played' with the image on my IPad.
This is the result. Great fun, and a nice way to just 'let go' with colors out of the ordinary.

I hope you approve.:))

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.

Perfect Walk..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just finished this one. Sooo cozy in my studio with all the rain we are having, perfect to paint!

The scene is one I took a photo of while on my morning walk in Austin. I love this greenbelt area, so much to see. Of course I tend to romanticize my colors.

 In actual fact they were all pretty green on the actual day, so this is with the 'Rae' touch. :))
