Out to Pasture by Andrea Rubinstein
watercolor
16 x 12 inches
Statement: This funky old truck was sitting out in a fenced off pasture at Terhune Farms by the children's barn. As I painted it en plein air, donkeys and goats were continually blocking my view.
Bio: I loved to draw growing up but, as so often happens, life got in the way and eventually I stopped.
Then, shortly after I retired, I saw a friend’s travel sketchbook and was inspired to start one myself. I began carrying a small sketchbook with me and, using mostly watercolor and ink, I began to sketch things in my everyday life that captured my attention or seemed significant. By forcing me to closely pay attention to the moment, I quickly realized that these sketches, no matter how wonky they were, created more vivid memories for me than all those quick photographs I had been taking. I was hooked!
Eventually I felt the desire to expand beyond my daily sketchbook practice and make paintings using only watercolor. I now find the immediacy, transparency and unpredictability of the watercolor medium fascinating & the challenge it presents to “go with the flow” quite satisfying.
