Of Corpus Contrasts..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

 I just finished this one in my cozy studio while the sleet falls outside and the temperatures drop.. 

Brr... it's cold today. A great day to be painting!

This one is on an Ampersand Pastelboard. 

I usually stay away from this kind of support as I prefer one with more 'tooth' to it for my pastels. However, this one worked pretty well for me, so I am glad I persevered.

 Image size is 18" x 24" unframed

Ethereal Dance..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I think if I were to describe my technique in any medium I use, on the whole, it would be OVERLAPPING and LAYERING .

With pastels this is, at times difficult, as it's an opaque medium; however one just has to use a light touch to get those underneath nuances to show through.



I began this with a totally abstract colorful start. I did not know what I would end up with. I just went with the flow.




The substrate is a red earth colored Sennelier paper.




I began with this..

I switched the image around in several directions, and kept doing that as the image progressed. 

I have a large shell collection and thought I would go with that as a subject.

Over the top of my abstract beginnings, I drew some of my shells to intersect and overlap.

Now the fun begins!

I like to work in a  NEGATIVE PINTING  technique with most all of my work, and the shells developed in much the same way.

Don't let anyone ever tell you that ABSTRACTS are easy, ("my child could do better".. 

Now where have I heard this before?

In fact, I think ABSTRACTS are the hardest . 

The artist must rely on their sense of design and truly immerse themselves from the heart. 

I hope you like how this one turned out.

Chasm Interruped..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I am on a roll with these abstracts now, hope you are not sick of them.
This one was a challenge..

As you will see from the step by step page below, it began as a full sheet of Sennelier paper on which I had done a quick demo for an art group years ago. 

 I am going through all my old filed paintings and reconstructing them. I hate to waste this wonderful substrate.

So...  I first turned the old demo upside down before deciding to cut the paper in half vertically.

I find if I view an old image upside down first it changes my perspective on that piece, and I begin to see possibilities for another painting.

This one, as with my previous posts, changed a great deal throughout the process of painting it. I could easily have gone with a horizontal format, but in the end, decided on this vertical.
I am constantly rotating the work as I paint.

Mantled Epoch..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Mantled Epoch is cut from the same paper as the previous post. I am glad I stuck with this set of abstracts, always a little worrying to rely on one's design sense, but I do love that 'angst' in my art.

 I began (after I had cut the full sheet in half as with my previous painting) by turning the remaining 'demo' image upside down. 

As I worked by blocking in some hefty darks, I rotated every few minutes, and kept doing that till I settled on a pleasing composition.

Just by rotating the piece as I progressed, I saw so many opportunities evolve. Each rotation looked so different, and the focus became a different area of the painting.

 I had a hard time, as with my previous post, to finally decide which rotation pleased me the most.
Eventually it was this one.

See the process of my thinking below, remember I had no reference with any of these abstracts, I just 'went with the flow' so to speak (pun intended).

This piece is 13" x 19" unframed
It is a pastel on red Sennelier paper.

Cavernous Tumble..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This painting started as a demo start, only partly done, and I did not want to toss the great paper.

It was a full sheet of reddish  Sennelier paper, which I turned upside down and cut in half so I have two pieces I can work on. (there will be another painting coming up soon from this paper)

I liked the color contrast in the demo, so just went with it.

I wanted to abstract my image (though) and after my France workshop last May and a visit to some amazing caves, I felt this image could be an 'echo' of that .

See all the steps below, to better explain.

                             Below is a little on the thoughts behind my process. 

As a finished painting the sheet directly below shows the image in all directions. I could still change my mind on this, it's an easy thing to erase my signature and place it elsewhere if I decided to perhaps go with a vertical format, I will have to live with my chosen top image for a few days and see how I feel.

The sheet below is my whole thought process throughout this painting. From an old demo partly done on a full sheet/cut in half/turned upside down/ and then gradually working around the shapes in a new painting.

Mystery...Abstract Pastel...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

This was a larger painting on Richeson board and I decided to cut it down and make two from it. This is one half.

I used a white Richeson board and threw my acrylics onto the surface to float and make shapes. Then I dried it and began to assess the 'damage'.

I began with a loose drawing of coconuts and palm fronds, and as the painting progressed it became more and more abstract.

I love it when the painting governs the artist, the hard part is not fighting it in the process and having fun with it.

Dalliance...Abstract..Pastel and Acrylic Inks...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Another small abstract.. 

This one is done with pastels over inks.. I had no idea what this paper was, but I mounted it onto the archival foamcore and away I went.

It had no tooth whatsoever, and I am glad I have no more of it. :((

As a result I stuck to small format images. Next time I will wear my glasses when selecting my papers..Ha!

The piece is inspired by a visiting dragon fly which comes to my backyard on a regular basis, it's quite stunning shimmering in the sun.

Source...Abstract...Pastel...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I walk daily with my dogs, and the area I walk is very lovely, full of trees.. I have seen the remnants of a wonderful old tree continually on my walks, it's  really just a stump with exposed roots, but to an artist, it is lovely. To anyone else, probably it's just good firewood. :((

So today I decided to give you all my 'impression' of what I see daily.

Of course with my penchant for COLOR and MOVEMENT , you are sure to realize my image is wildly embellished .

This is a 5" x 10" pastel on gatorboard (unframed).

Heat Of The Day.. Semi Abstract..Pastel and Acrylic... Texas Artist ...Rae Andrews

I stretched the mood a little more with this one, making my colors a little more intense.And the board was a deep rust color, so the colors I painted over this had to be a but more 'gutsy' for effect.
This is a pastel on a sanded board. I used my acrylics first, to get a REALLY bright start, then used my pastels over the top.
