Every time YOU apply your warm color technique, it's great. I suppose I should work in sections (and let things settle a bit more) as you do. Love what you've done, per always. Happy Holidays~
So lovely! Thank you for explaining your thought process. It will help immensely when I venture out and paint on my own. I love the color you created with the Quinacridone Coral and French Ultramarine. I'll have to give it a try; never thought to mix it.
Lovely painting! Thank you for doing a Texas landscape... My son lives in Austin, and I hope I'll be able to do some colorful painting for him. You are a great artist💛
I am subscribed to your channel but haven't received this video nor 2 from 3 months ago? Really missed you! And surprised to see you painting in Texas (I'm in So Tx)! Love this colorful painting and hope I don't miss any more. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Mary, I am so sorry you seem to have missed a few videos. I am not that tech savvy so I’m afraid all I can say is to keep checking my channel ... Rae Andrews. I am actually working on a video right now, but I still have a few days editing to do, so stay tuned. Thank you for your comment.
I enjoy your free style thinking on a majority of your paintings. This tut incorporated some pencil work in order to plot out your design. For me, it helps me to see how you are thinking, and allows me to follow your plan with some purpose. I also enjoy your narratives! Maybe more pencil marks on paper than go into painting. I totally enjoy your presentations! Do more!
As I do sometimes paint with no predrawing, even doing the amount of pencil work first in this video goes against the grain ..and as I said in a previous comment, pencil is very difficult to erase after paint goes on it, but I will keep your suggestion in mind. I meant to put a photo of my reference in this video, so sorry.
I just found your channel. The word TEXAS jumped out at me. Being native Texan it always does. I'll have to go back and see the others you mentioned painting of this area. Is it in the hill country? Merry Christmas! I look forward to more.
Again an amazing technique demo Thank you ! Could you please explain the dot dot dash dash part? Also, would love to se your take on a South Carolina coastal scene with Spanish moss and oak trees or salt marsh estuaries
Teri .....my reference to dot dot, dash dash is for my ( Morse code) brush strokes. A dot or a dash here and there, to make the marks ..I usually do it at the floral areas or the end of my paintings, to add a few darks.
Do you plan a process before you start? Limited pallets, brushes, focal points, techniques? How far you go before letting it be ...coming back with fresh eyes? Do you reuse processes for specific projects.? Thank you in advance for sharing thought processes and techniques.
With this one I did know in advance where the main attention areas were as I had a photo reference. But as you might know, once paint goes on, things can change, and at that stage, I let go and let the painting guide me a bit. For instance my colors are usually intuitive, I don’t copy a scene verbatim. Many times I use colors to emote what I feel when I see the scene in question. As artists obviously a certain successful technique we have used in other paintings might be repeated but that might also be a trap in getting too comfortable, or repetitious, so I try many different approaches to my work a lot. I hope this answers some of your questions, keep them coming.😊
MaryAnne .. hmm, that’s weird ..I either didn’t upload it to CZcams or they took it off, I’m so sorry. Here are my colors. I used Winsor and Newton and Daniel Smith colors WN Cad Orange, WN Burnt Sienna, WN Permanent Sap Green DS Aussie Red Gold, DS Quinacridone Coral, DS French Ultramarine Blue. I used the Silver Black Velvet Brushes.. a Dagger 3/8”, and a #8 Round My paper is Arches #140 Cold Press ..I think that’s about all I used, so sorry about the intro video. Thanks for your interest....... Rae
Is it ok to have pencil lines show through a painting? Do you refer to a picture as you paint or is it freestyle as it appears? Thank you so much for your videos! I hope you can learn how to make them longer.
Hi Nina.. thank you for the questions. I sometimes erase what’s left of pencil lines after I paint. However, once you paint over a pencil line, it’s almost impossible to get rid of it completely, so I mostly just leave them. I mean Turner did in his watercolors, so why not ? I did have a photo as reference, but I do take a lot of artistic license with my photos, and although one could see it’s a scene in Texas, they might find it harder to identify just where in Texas it is. I meant to show the photo actually, m bad...I’ll try and remember to do that next time. And yes, I would o o longer videos, hopefully in the future.. happy painting ..😊😊
Another great painting. I love your style, and you make it look efforstly, but there is so much experience and technique behind it. Who has inspired you over the years, who have you learned from? 🙂
Thank you for that lovely comment. It’s a very hard question for me to answer.. but....I have been influenced by so many artists over the years, my own aunt Hazel Johnson was another artist in my family, and I certainly looked up to her and watched her work like a hawk.....so she was a very strong influence for me. But essentially I am self taught in many ways with watercolor, I have never had traditional watercolor instruction. I did work in mixed media for many years, watercolor base but adding other mediums, and a woman named Jo Ross in Australia was a huge influence with that part of my life. And I still learn many things from my own students and fellow artists to this day, I hope I never stop. 😊😊
Hi Rae, Good to find you here and see your demonstration. Your watercolors have so much life and movement ❤❤
I love your use of color and loose style. Nancy

It’s a great color mix, I have only recently discovered it, and ❤️ it..
Its amazing to watch the way you mixed colours. I believe that the quality of the watercolor also play a great role in painting . Thanks
You are absolutely correct Hemamala.. Good products give much better results 👍

That was fun :)
So glad you liked it..😊
Lovely loose and free. I'm going to try to paint your way to help me loosen up and maybe find a new fun way to paint
SDC thank you for your comments.. I am happy you like this way of painting.. try it, I am sure you will have a lot of fun.😊
I just found your channel. The word TEXAS jumped out at me. Being native Texan it always does. I'll have to go back and see the others you mentioned painting of this area. Is it in the hill country?
Merry Christmas! I look forward to more.
Hi Frieda, yes this scene was on the edge of the Hill Country near to where I live. A great place to paint! So glad you found my channel, enjoy..😊
Do you slant your board or paint flat. I love these videos. They are so inspiring. Thanks you
So glad you like them, thank you.. I usually work flat..😊
I'm just watching your newest landscape video and it is hard to tell. Thanks. Happy New Years

Ojalá pinte tan bonito como tú algún día
Sorry I only speak English??
How do I find the introduction video that gives your colors and brushes? Title?
MaryAnne .. hmm, that’s weird ..I either didn’t upload it to CZcams or they took it off, I’m so sorry.
Here are my colors. I used Winsor and Newton and Daniel Smith colors
WN Cad Orange, WN Burnt Sienna, WN Permanent Sap Green
