Rose..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I had the very wonderful pleasure of attending a mini workshop yesterday with JEANNETTE CUEVAS ..

Her technique is pastel over a watercolor base on cold pressed watercolor paper.

My attempt here was not wonderful however, and I came home and did more to it today and felt a bit happier with my result. Enough to put it on my blog site for sale now. I hope you agree.

Jeannette's style is linear, small strokes, one over the other to achieve such delicate nuances of color and tone, it's mesmerizing  to watch.

I usually work so quickly and am much heavier with my application of pastels, and her soft and delicate approach is very foreign to me.. 

Still I LOVE the technique and I thank Jeannette for her patience with us all, I for one will keep trying..

Here is a link to Jeannette's website..well worth seeing her wonderful work.

Coupled..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

And now for something completely different!

I started this one a few weeks ago, and I am now finally wanting to get back into it.

It's a pastel on a sanded Richeson board.

Some of you might recall I had a mishap a few weeks ago when my studio leaked and rain splashed my pastel BACKWATER STICKS AND STONES.

The surprise of the lovely texture the rain left on my pastel surface made me want to repeat the whole process, this time deliberately.

I had this close focus photo of marine elements I took in Maui, and thought it was just the ticket to experiment with spontaneous texture.

I wanted the painting to be 'mottled' and 'worn looking, such as one sees when walking around a marina and looking at the ropes etc.

I hope you can see this effect okay, I am sort of liking it.

Topsy Turvey..Pastel...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I saw this cat at Grandma's Coffee Shop in Ulapalakua, on Maui. It was always a favorite haunt for me, I love the outlook and who could resist the wonderful homemade cakes and salads they make there.
My art friends and I recently went there a couple of times on our trip back to Maui.

This cat was so happy and stretched out in the sun while we ate.

The odd angle is so typical of cats, and truly a challenge for me as an artist. 
Anyway, here is the finished result, a pastel on velour paper.

This piece is unframed.

Floral Fanfare..Watercolor abstract.. Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Happy New Year everyone! I am trying to get back in the proverbial groove again, and have spent the day in my very neglected studio at last.

How much better than to ring in the New Year painting huh?

This image is all about play and I guess I still have fireworks on my mind or in my ears! :))

I am going to try to do a few more still life florals in this loose watercolor way for you. I hope you enjoy them.

Dalliance...Abstract...Pastel over Acrylic Inks..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Another small abstract.. 

This one is done with pastels over inks.. I had no idea what this paper was, but I mounted it onto the archival foamcore and away I went.

It had no tooth whatsoever, and I am glad I have no more of it. :((

As a result I stuck to small format images. Next time I will wear my glasses when selecting my papers..Ha!

The piece is inspired by a visiting dragon fly which comes to my backyard on a regular basis, it's quite stunning shimmering in the sun.

This image is for sale at $75..
Free S/H within the contiguous USA.
Image size is 4.25" x 7.5" unframed.

Rim Light...Landscape..Pastels...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Call me a romantic, but don't you just love to watch the clouds form especially with an approaching storm?

Well I do.. :))

I had no reference with this one, I just 'felt' the clouds and the movement. 

Pastels are such a great medium to portray seascapes and skyscapes. One can 'sculpt' the shapes so seductively, it's as though the artist can become one with the image.

See I told you I was a romantic..
