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

Frangipani Fantasy..Abstract..Pastel..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

It's a great day to be in my studio. painting... as it's pouring and sooo cozy! 
So this one is exactly what I have been doing all morning, painting!

I began this with a throw of watercolor and inks, to get a loose wash of colors and shapes.

After having been on Maui in the last few weeks, I had some gorgeous photos of Frangipanis (Plumeria) from which to refer. I had my MUSE.

I 'found' a place to get my FRANGIPANI situated, the rest is basically made up to adjust to the shapes the first throw made.

I paint like this all the time in watercolors, and although the technique is a little scary to some artists, I find it comforting to have no clue as to where the painting will end.

It truly makes the artist think about design and BALANCE.

This is on UArt sanded paper, not a bad surface, but for me, not as fun (yet) to work on as the Richeson sanded surface boards. They are still my favorites.

This image is for sale.

$130 including S/H within the contiguous USA.

It measures 7.25" x 10" and is on a 0 .25" thick archival piece of foamcore.

Jungle Patterns 2..Watermedia...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

JUNGLE PATTERNS 2 is a 30" x 30" water media painting on black Canson paper.
This image is SOLD!

I love the layering process of watercolor and mixed media, in this case it was acrylic inks.Textured playing against one another for me, make for an interesting surface.
I also challenged myself with the black paper  Canson paper is not a watercolor surface, it's usually used with the pastel medium. Paint behaves very differently on this surface, hence the challenge.

The geometry paneling appears in a lot of my works, especially my earlier paintings, which this was.
I hope you enjoy this one.

Tropical Confusion...Pastel...Texas Artist ...Rae Andrews

This is a full sheet sized pastel on velour paper (unframed).

Velour is a wonderful surface for the pastel artist, I LOVE working on it. The colors just glow and the pastel glides over the surface so beautifully.

I am essentially a COLORIST and not a REALIST painter, and I love to distort depth with 'up close and personal' paintings, taking my viewer 'into' the subject.
