Water Patterns..Watercolor ans Fluid Acrylics..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just felt like playing today. 

This one began from nothing at all in mind, and I just experimented with Fluid Acrylics, and let them flow on the page, helped by my blow dryer.

I dried it completely then and began to find my lily shape into and over the paints. 

With negative painting I brought my flowers and lily pads into focus.
                                                                    Great fun.

Rainforest Mystery..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Lots of fun doing this tropical painting.

I am getting ready to teach a lesson on strong darks and drama using watercolors. 

There is truly a myth about watercolor, where people are led to believe that watercolor cannot get dark..

This is ALL watercolor and look at those strong darks!

Captured Glory..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one today.. loving these Crescent Watercolor Boards.

I stumbled on them a couple of weeks ago and have not looked back since. 

The surface is Cold Pressed, and the panel is a rigid support.. so when framing it, one coul even omit having to use foam core onto which to mount the painting.

They come in quite a few sizes too which I like. 

Captured Glory is available ..

Woodland Display..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This again was a demo I just embellished. It was an exercise on color and the use of complementary opposites on the color wheel. Green on its own can be very overpowering, and although in nature we do see a lot of green, I like to 'jazz' it up with opposite colors, as with this image. The pinks and oranges help offset the green nicely.

Ridgetop Display..paste..Texas Artrist..Rae Andrews

I guess I am on a bit of a roll (yet again), now it's with dramatizing my values, and trying to keep to darker contrasts.
Sunsets are always great for this, so here is effort number 2 in this vein.

Well here is the finished painting. 
I am happy with it, but of course as most artists, I find areas I could have done better. Oh well, back to the studio..

I did not use any watermedia underneath this, it's all pastel.

Shadow Dance, Alaska...Acrylic...Landscape...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

A few years ago I was in Alaska, wow! What gorgeous scenery. It's taken me a while to even paint something from that area, it's all just gorgeous.

Today I thought I would leave the houses alone from previous images, and just do a landscape.

Even the colors are very much softer for me. However, the scene was a mid morning light, and shadows were a lot more seductive.

                                   This image is an acrylic on textured board (unframed),

                                                   
                                                $120 inc. S/H within the contiguous USA

Ascension..Abstract...Pastel over Liquid Acrylics...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

ASCENSION was a challenge, for me, however, a MOST rewarding one. 

I am not one to overlay my pastels with other mediums. I usually just use pastel.

However, having won a whole bunch of art supplies recently (thank you Jack Richeson's Art Supplies) I had a lot of GATORBOARD. 

These boards are a great surface for mixed media such as watercolor, acrylics and pastels.. All are happy to PLAY together on this surface.


                               So here is my PASTEL ABSTRACT effort on GATOR BOARD .

                                                           Image size is 6" x 9"
                                                                  $200 inc.S/H

Playground Escape..Abstract..Watercolor and Liquid Acrylics...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

     This is another fun ABSTRACT in watercolors and liquid acrylics on watercolor paper.
I pass a play gym every day when I walk my dogs in the park, and the colors are always such fun.. All those angles are very eye catching to me as an artist.
It goes to show the many ways an artist can be inspired huh?

Caribbean Rhythm...Abstract Watercolor and Liquid Acrylics...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I think it's healthy for an artist to paint in a series of connecting images. One image helps the next, or at least that's what I hope.

These little paintings are very challenging, nothing (for me) is by chance, it's all by DESIGN.

My initial colors are LIQUID ACRYLICS and when they dry, I try to make the shapes and colors CONNECT.

I am sure my puppies think I am nuts, when I place these on the floor with mats on them, and walk around and around the image till I know which way is 'UP'.

They watch me intently, with a curious and accepting look.. I guess by now, they know that's just 'what I do'....SIGH..

Anyway, back to this image.. It is unframed and presented in a mat ready for framing.

Earth Patterns 2...Liquid Acrylic and Watercolor

I hope you are enjoying these excursions from my regular posts 

Color and design are my pet passions as many of you already know. 

I seem to bounce from more realistic imagery to the abstractions. Right now I am in the latter mode.

This one began much the same way as the previous two posts. 

I decided to go with a more 'EARTHY' image, kind of rocky, kind of not.. You choose.

This one is 6" x 10" unframed.

$200 Plus S/H
