Waterlily Connections..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one recently

After teaching at Le Vieux Couvent in France in southwest France, I am still filled with the lovely scenery we saw and experienced in that region of France.

On the grounds of this wonderful Artist’s Retreat, is a lovely fish pond, complete with koi and lily pads.

I have painted this pond a few times, and it never tires me to begin a new view of it.

I liked the idea of the elongated format, seemed to suit the very oriental subject matter.

I plan on painting another ‘friend’ to this painting very soon as well.

Monet eat your heart out. LOL.

A Wandering..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one. It's of the river area near my home. I have done several plein air paintings of it.

This one however, I painted in the studio today, from my photograph.

 Green on green is beautiful in nature, but in a painting, it tends to be a bit much of the same thing for me. 

 I usually play with complimentary colors, such as the orange/red family and even some blue/mauve colors as small accents amongst the green.

I hope you like this one. For me, it was very meditative to paint.

Journal Entry ...Watercolor...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This journal entry is from one of my wanders off the beaten track during my workshop at Le Vieux Couvent in France one year ago.

While students were painting the church nearby and vineyards, I did a little excursion through the brambles with my camera and found this amazingly beautiful scene to paint.

The reflections were simply beautiful. They were just reaching out from the shore and in the far distance there was a small beach of some sort..just perfection.

This is in my larger format 8” x 10” Stillman and Birn journal.

Portofino Drift..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Finally finished this one.. Pastel on red Sennelier paper.

I am a part of a pastel presentation for Austin Pastel Society on Sunday 28th October  (approx. 3.30-4.30 pm) at Precision Camera in Austin. Please come along if you want to see a fun demonstration by 5 artists.

You would be most welcome. We have a silent auction at the end of each work, and the money raised goes into our scholarship fund.

This presentation is called a PAINT AROUND where all five artists begin on their own artwork for first ten minutes, then it is passed around to the next artist for them to do another ten minutes pastelling  on it.

 The demo lasts one hour with the artwork ending up in front of the original artist, for them to 'tweak' what the other artists have done to their work.

Great fun!

The above pastel painting is me getting in readiness for this presentation.

The Bridge, Saint Germaine..Pastel...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This image was a demo in pastels I did while on my France workshop in Frayssinet. 

This day we all went to Saint Germaine, and sadly, the heavens opened up and dumped buckets of rain on us. So we sort refuge back at le Vieux Couvent and the lovely dry studio for a couple f hours.

Such is the weather in France, and not long after the rain, the sun was out again and we all went to a great antique market in Labastide Murat. 

One never knows with France, but one thing seems to be for sure, the weather does not stay bad for long.

This is a pastel on tan Sennelier sanded paper.

Dordogne Charm, France..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

While in France on my last workshop at Le View Couvent, we picnicked on the Dordogne river after a visit to Balnac Castel,  and I did a demo in pastels of this bridge.



I decided the other day, to work very loosely on this one in watercolors, from one of my photos.
The colors are a romantic take on this scene, but I quite like that liberty.

Peaceful Interlude..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I did this one a while ago, when I was just revisiting the wet into wet technique. A favorite way for watercolorists to paint. The danger of this technique is that we can lose the whites of the paper easily. I know I did with this one, but thought I would show it anyway.

I worked a little on it again today, to glaze some soft washes over places, it helped I think.

Lakeside Cluster..Pastel..Texas Artist.. Rae Andrews

This is really from my imagination. I had this red piece of Sennelier paper cut in the elongated shape with which I love to challenge myself.






It seems to have been so long since I have been in my gorgeous studio, I have missed it terribly!


I will try to post more often. Just a series of life changes have interrupted me for now.


                                                    I hope you like this one.

Waterline..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

First of all let me apologize for my absence and lack of posting of late. I had a family health crisis and needed to take some time away from my painting.
It's been like losing my right arm, and I JUST HAD TO GET BACK INTO MY STUDIO!


That happened late yesterday, and this is the finished result.
