About REcreate-RebeccaEvansCreate

My name is Rebecca Evans, living in the New Forest I have been inspired to paint the many animals often seen around me. Having ridden since Childhood, painting equines was a natural path to follow. I use a variety of media, watercolour, oil, charcoal, pastel,inks, plus a few more, infact I will try most things. Choosing the medium to work with can really change the effect of the art, and therefore the character of the animal. Sometimes it is an instant decision, sometimes it is the mood from within me which determines which medium I choose to use. I never know what might inspire me next, but if it’s hairy, I will be sure to try.

A matching pair- charcoal hares

Posted on August 16, 2015 by REcreate-RebeccaEvansCreate

I am feeling very happy with these two hares, they would look great framed and hung together. I have crept back to my slightly more detailed technique, but I think it works well, for these, so I don’t mind deviating … Continue reading →

Loving charcoal, so I thought I would see how a figure would turn out

Posted on August 16, 2015 by REcreate-RebeccaEvansCreate

So far I have enjoyed charcoal, I guess after years of pencil work this is not too dissimilar? At least I feel I have an advantage having had that experience. It is messier! But it blends beautifully. I am still … Continue reading →
