Into The Light..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I was watching Game of Thrones one night a few weeks ago and this scene popped up, so I quickly took a snapshot of it.. of course I did embellish the light and the color so my image is quite different to what I actually saw .

I used a Crescent Watercolor Board for this one.

The image is unframed.

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.

Journal Posts from Trip In France..Watercolor..Rae Andrews

Well I am finally posting a few images from my journals . I know it's been ages, sorry for my lapse in posts.

I taught a workshop this year in Southwest France in the Dordogne region, and then 6 weeks later, I taught another workshop in the French Alps.
Both were superb workshops, wonderful students and great fun!

here are some images I did during each workshop and some later in my studio at home. I hope you enjoy them as much as I love painting them.

This one is from the trip in May in the Dordogne area of southwest France. This was a day excursion for photo ops and painting.

We stayed at Le Vieux Couvent.. A simply wonderful venue and I am teaching there again (third time now) in July of 2019.

Another from this same trip. A marvelous small village near the convent where we stay. So many painting opportunities.

Just on the street where we stayed. I had fun with this one..

I bought a new journal, an 8" x 10" format. I quite like this larger size, when opened to use both pages, it measures 10" x 16", perfect.

Thanks for visiting...

Please stay tuned for more journal entries and news on my upcoming overseas workshops.

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.

This image is 9" x 12"

Beauty Pageant..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

BEAUTY PAGEANT was a slightly larger image I decided to cut almost in half.

This image is all wet into wet technique, which I love to explore with watercolor.

One never quite knows if the whites can be saved as the whole page is wet.. However, I feel I was able to keep to the plan with this one..

Enjoy..

Pink Prize...Watercolor Floral...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This is a wet into wet watercolor I finished yesterday.

I love the challenge of no pre-drawing, just wetting the whole surface and allowing the colors to make shapes.

The difficult part is the degree of 'wetness' the artist has to govern to prevent those pesky 'blooms' which sometimes appear out of nowhere.
Of course 'pulling it altogether' is also a challenge with 'negative painting'..

I worked this whole painting in this wet into wet technique and it was great fun.

This image is a 14" x 17" unframed painting.

$150 plus S/H.
