Garden Gaiety..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

A loose and spontaneous watercolor, this one was great fun to paint.

I did not pre-draw anything. I just found shapes onto which to build my flowers after a loose throw of paint.

I am always telling my students to leave the whites of the paper showing through, and to be aware of the shapes they make as well, no two white shapes should be the same size and importance.

If the design is a good one, the painting should be successfully turned in most directions and still look okay.

Try it, this way of painting is very freeing..

Spring Accents..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just finished this one after a lovely walk in the greenbelt of Lake Travis yesterday. The colors of spring are everywhere, what a perfect time of the year!

This is an 8" x 10" pastel on a new substrate for me, a MULTIMEDIA BOARD .

I ordered a few of these the other day, and while the jury's still out on it, I am finding it interesting to use. 

I began this image with a loose watercolor under painting, then used my pastels over the top.

The surface is not that gritty, so I found I had to be super careful with my pressure applying the pastels.

Dusk Over the Marshes..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one. Trying out my new Heilman Double Sketchbox and easel.

A little pricey, but well worth it I think. I love the small box for my plein air excursions.

I have a large Heilman pastel box as well, but it is so cumbersome for me to cart around the countryside or overseas.

Hence I bit the bullet and purchased this small one. I think it does the trick perfectly.This box opens to around 9.25" x 14.5" wide, enabling me to fill it with pastels on both sides, plenty for traveling. The closed box is only 7.25" x 9.25" .

I also purchased the 18" easel (I had the 24" easel with my larger box) .
These easels  slot neatly into the ready made holes Heilman have made for it. Works so well!

FYI..This whole outfit cost $180 for the box and $50 for the easel..

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"

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".

Precious was a gorgious little diog owned by a friend of mine. She passed away a few years ago.

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.

Subdued Light..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

High Key paintings do not come as easy to me as an image in the low key (darker values) range.

I thought I would try one, just to get into some 'dangerous waters' so to speak.

I think we all need to do this occasionally, and not stay in our SAFE zone all the time. Sound familiar?

I made this image up, and wanted the drama of the soft sky to be the main feature.

I used Canson Mi Teintes Touch paper, which is not my favorite, but hey, what the heck!

I felt a need for the 'pop' of red in the front grasses just to get that area to read closer to the viewer. This I did with the 'dusting' technique.
Great fun!

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.
