Chicken Hop..Watercolor..Texas Artist ..Rae Andrews

  This watercolor was fun to paint.. I threw a few colors onto a Crescent Watercolor Panel and waited till it dried. 

I then referred  to my photos of chickens a roosters, and began to find areas I could place them.

My intention was not to be literal, merely lost and found. A surprise so to speak.

This original watercolor is presented unframed.

15' x 20'

Un Petite Chien..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I had this off cut piece of bright deep velvet suede mat board, and decided to try a pastel of this sweet face on it. 

The dog was in a market place in Provence a few years ago when I was there.

The red substrate was strong and a little daunting to control with my pastels, but I think I did okay with this one. On to the next now.

This image is 10" x 10" unframed.

Intent..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

INTENT is an apt title for this one. The dog was on the Greek island of Myconos, and as much as I tried to get his attention so I could get a good shot, he/she refused to look my way. Still it was a gorgeous dog and I just had to paint it.

I have just purchased the new DARK UART PASTEL PAPER.. I liked it a lot, such a change from the drab sameness UART has always given us, of a sand color ...

Black paper is tricky though, and needs special consideration of the values one uses with pastels.

Two Steppin'..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I love chickens, they are so comical and very proud, at least the roosters. Why would'nt they though, when you see those colors in their feathers, wonderful.



I went to Austin zoo to get these photos, made a composit from which to work.



I had a nice piece of rich burgandy suede matboard, and thought the oranges would look great on it.



What do you think?

Ruffled Feathers..Pastels..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Ruffled Feathers was an unfinished demo started quite a while ago. I did not want to waste the Sennelier (full sheet) of paper, so decided to try and redeem the image to a finished product.

Here is the image completed.. I am posting the steps of this below ..
I used three of my own photos and combined the chickens in the one painting.

This one is all pastel. Sennelier paper is a sanded paper and cannot (very successfully) have any wet media like alcohol on it, however, I have done that in the past too. It's tricky though, and I would not advise it.

I did crop some off the outer edges, and feel  it looks better for doing that.

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
