Grasses..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I am on a roll now with DUSTING. It works so well on very textured surface, but beware, you can overdo this technique.

Here is the above image with additional DUSTING.

 I LOVE this technique!

I had this odd off cut of paper, and have no idea what it was though. It's a dark maroon color and is sanded. Any ideas?

Anyway, I had mounted it onto some archival foam core a few years ago so why not use it?

The format is quite elongated and poses problems or should I say, challenges to the artist, composition wise.

I chose to do just tall brambles and grasses, really playing with the various textures.
I used an alcohol wash under painting in parts, let it dry and then worked the pastels over the top.

I don't usually do this technique of underneath washes, but this paper took the wet media so why not?

I hope you like it.

Perfect Walk..Pastels..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Just finished this one. Sooo cozy in my studio with all the rain we are having, perfect to paint!

The scene is one I took a photo of while on my morning walk in Austin. I love this greenbelt area, so much to see. Of course I tend to romanticize my colors.

 In actual fact they were all pretty green on the actual day, so this is with the 'Rae' touch. :))

Spanish Garden Pathway..Watercolor Landscape..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I decided to get back to my roots so to speak and do a few watercolors. This one is the first in a while.

I have missed this medium. As with many artists who paint in all media, sometimes some of them get left in the dust. I have been doing a lot of pastels lately too as you might all know.

 I think I am due for a change.

Stay tuned for more new images. For now, anyway..:))

Coconut Shadows..Pastel..Semi Abstracted...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Believe it or not this used to be horses. I decided I could do better, so I wiped it with alcohol and a rag and then splashed acrylics over the surface. The surface is a large Ampersand board by the way.

After my surface had dried, I worked my image into and over the marks, quite a challenge, but I think by now you all know how I love to challenge myself.

The photo reference was one I took on my recent trip to Maui.

This was great fun to do, although it took a while.

The size of this one is 24" x 36" unframed on board.

Rising Heat... Landscape...Pastel...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Today I decided to get the old pastels out again for a while, so don't be surprised if you start seeing more posts such as this one.

This is actually an Australian landscape I took a photo of years ago, I think it was somewhere near Yass? 

I taught workshops for years in the country areas of Australia, and this is a typical scene a lot of my Aussie followers will identify with.

I of course love to embellish my colors, and this image is no exception. However it is pretty close to the actual photo I took..

I have to admit (though) my sky is very much embellished, fun to sculpt the clouds, especially in pastels.

Enjoy..

Valley Vantage Point...Landscape...Acrylic...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

This one is completely 'doodled' on the IPad first. I turned a few old paintings upside down, just to use the colors for this one.. I work in several layers in the Sketch Club app, and then when I am happy I flatten them.. Voila.. I have a new creation!

It's such a fun way to get a start on a painting. 

Out of the mess came this. 

I find this very relaxing while I watch TV at might, just work out some compositions from which I might paint the next day.

This image is 8" x 8" unframed painting and is on an Ampersand Museum board. I quite like these surfaces, they have that tooth I was mentioning in my last post. Something for my paint to grab.

Painted Sky..Landscape...Acrylic...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I decided to get out my FULL BODIED Acrylics today and do some small landscapes. I have finished this one, so thought I would post it.

I am teaching an ACRYLICS ON CANVAS tomorrow for the Williamson Arts Guild in Georgetown, as well as a demonstration called THE LAYERED LANDSCAPE for their group. 

As I have not painted in the tubed acrylics in a while, I thought I better get up to snuff.
Hope you like this one..

Glow......Pastel Landscape..........Texas Artist.......Rae Andrews

This is another pre-tinted textured pastel board .. It originally was a soft creme color, and I tinted parts of it with red/orange liquid acrylics. 

The whole board is now covered in pastel, some layers a little thinner than others, to allow the underneath colors to show through.

I really love this technique, it keeps my colors different to the dullness of the actual manufactured board colors. 
Enjoy...

Zig Zag Shadows..Abstract Landscape..Acrylic...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

                     This one is another in what seems to be becoming a series of URBAN LIFE.

                    I am still working on these textured boards, which are a lot of fun with the acrylics. 
                          I plan all of these with bits and pieces from my photos, a composite..

                     I work the whole thing on my IPad first, to get ideas of colors and designs.

Zig Zag Lane .... Acrylic...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I am in an experimental mode right now. ZIG ZAG LANE  is the third I have done in different media.. I have not posted the others and may never do so..:((

I am looking for a sharp contrast in my colors as always. This is done an Richeson board again, a deep rust color.

These boards are good for so many mediums..Try them, I think you would have fun.

This scene is completely made up, but I know several of you have walked up this kind of ZIG ZAG LANE  before, I know I have.

I enjoy painting on location when I travel. Watercolors are very portable and lend themselves to quick weather changes. I enjoy the challenge of trying to capture fleeting moments. In this painting I enhanced the clouds and choppy waves with gouache.

I sometimes mix mediums. Watercolor and pastels seem to get along very well. I let the subject matter tell me how much to use one thing or another. Pastels can give a real punch to a soft watercolor.
