Double The Trouble..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Some of you might recognize my boys, this is Pebbles and Bam Bam, the loves of my life!

They are from two photos I had and I wanted to place them in water, to try and get a reflection and ACTION image.

I made the water up. It was a fun image to paint, and I am pretty pleased with this one.

This image is 18" x 24" unframed

The substrate is a dark gray Sennelier paper

A small landscape  in pastels on Sennelier paper. 

I am working on simple but dramatic landscapes right now, hence the sunset colors and silhouetted trees.

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

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.

In All It's Glory..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

In All It's Glory is a pastel on sanded Sennelier paper. This scene is another from the Sam Rayburn Lake trip I have just done. 

I warned you I would be a painting fool after this trip, i took so many photos, all paintable.

My morning and afternoon walks with the puppies were just wonderful, so much beauty!

This is another odd size, but it seemed to suit the subject so I went with it.

6" x 17.6" unframed
