High Tide..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I used to paint so many more seascapes when I lived in a tropical climate, but I am out of practice now.

I thought I had better see if I can still paint them after 16 years of living in the middle of Texas.

This one is an imagined seascape, but was such fun to do, I think I will try another.

Skyscape 6..Watercolor...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I decided to just do some small skyscapes in watercolor yesterday. Just for fun.

The cloud shapes set the mood for the drama I wanted to portray. 

My studio looks out over Lake Travis here in Austin, and I see some wonderful sunsets and clouds every day, just magic.

So here is the first of a few small watercolors. Enjoy..

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.

Tidepool Interrupted..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I love to watch water move, whether it's a waterfall,  a pond or pool with a slight rippling effect. It's all mesmerizing to me and very peaceful.

I tried to capture that feeling with this one. That action of looking down into a rock pool when a ripple breaks the surface with such wonderful patterns.

I hope you like this one, it was a fun one to paint.

This image is a pastel (unframed ) on Sennelier sanded paper.

Morning Glow on Sugar Beach..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Aandrews

I just finished this pastel seascape. The scene is from Maui, a photo I took while on my morning walk last year. Sugar Beach is a wonderful walking beach near Maalaea.

The glow is simply magical in the morning light.

So here is my interpretation of the scene.

This image is unframed.

Pink Glow..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

                   This is another small watercolor I have been playing with of late..
                  It has been so long since I painted, I was getting very depressed..

Thanks for sticking with me during this past absence, I tentatively can say I am BACK now! Yay!

Soft Light on the Pedernales..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This one is similar to the landscapes I have posted before. Had a great time doctoring colors in Photoshop. But.. now that program seems to have died on me!! Oh woe!

Looks like I have to call my computer guru.. Grrr!😒😒

Sea Cliff Haze..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Having traveled along the Amalfi Coast and seeing the wonderful vista of cliffs and misty coastline, this image evolved from memory. I often draw on my imagination when painting, I find it quite meditative. Just to let myself go with the rhythm of the sea and allow the marks to 'flow' from your fingertips..

Soft background music is also a help with this particular way of painting.

I know a lot of my students go through some angst when they can't pluck an image out of their heads and I understand this. It's not for everyone..

Even if you use a photo to begin a painting, put it away after the first few basic design strokes, and let your memory work for you, it does work, and you will get more of a 'personal feeling' about your scene which is (for me) far more seductive for your viewer.

I was trained to visually see a scene and memorize it a lot, especially with seascapes.

Also doing so many demos for various art groups, sometimes I have to use what's in my head to get a point across.
So, I so hope you like this one.. Seascapes are magical to paint, especially with pastels.

I used Pastel Premier paper for this one, and this surface is becoming a favorite of mine I have to admit. There is not a great deal of texture to it as with Sennelier, so certain subjects might not work as well for me. However, seascapes are a perfect subject matter.

Sunset Aftergow..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

SUNSET AFTERGOW is inspired by Maui and all the beach walks I did there at sunset. The soft and romantic colors are wonderful at this time of evening. How I miss that part of island life.


I always fine soft high key colors difficult to portray in my art, so this was a challenge.

Freshly Plowed..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I have done this scene before in acrylics on canvas. Who knows, I might do it again in oils.

A friend gave me this photo, thanks MJ..
I loved it! The colors, the panorama, the distance, it's a painting waiting to happen! I believe it's a scene near Blanco here in Texas.
