Soft Pastel Landscape Lesson - The Beauty of Pastel with Bethany Fields 

You are very articulate which makes it easy to follow your demo paintings. This is a lovely painting with enough looseness to allow the viewers imagination to be engaged but enough control to hold the composition together and to express your vision. A tricky blend and it works so well. Thank you.

I really, really like the way you describe your techniques. Being a high school art teacher I like how your able to describe what your doing with out sounding too complex.

Bravo,❤

Thanks Bethany. I always learn a lot from you and you also inspire me to do better with all your helpful tips. You make pastel painting a bettter form of art for me. Wonderful work. Wishing you good health and a long career in art. Cheers, Jim Ottawa, Ontario Canada

You are a great teacher!!!! Thank you!

Palo Duro Canyon! One of my favorite places in Texas! Thanks for this tutorial. The idea of forcing yourself to step away from your painting with every change of color is so great!

All I can say is: ***WOW*** !!

Beautiful work Bethany, and thanks for the great explanation.

Awesome tutorial. Thanks Bethany!

That’s really lovely. Thank you for the demo.

Beautiful. Thank you for all the information packed into this demonstration!

Love watching you work; I learn a lot.

Beautiful, Thank you for sharing your talent and being so open about it!

Beautiful painting, thank you so much for this tutorial.

Now that’s a great video. I really love real-time videos and I can’t wait to try this. Great outcome. Thank you!

Lovely. I like how you explained everything you did and your rational. Thank you. Glad I found you!

So beautiful love it

I tried this one today. I love it. I love how Bethany makes it look so painterly.

Lovely painting! Thank you!

at first when i got the link i was like its 30 mins i ll get bored or whatever but when i started it i couldnt stop. You speak so gracefully and your words have such deep connection with your art. I loved it💕

I really enjoyed this. New to pastels, love pathways and wildflowers and your style of teaching. Inspired.

Beautiful techniques by a master

Very impressive. Love control of the color. All the best !

What a great idea having the pastels back 5 feet from your easle

Eres increíble!!

I grew up in Juniper country! Plan to travel there this summer to take some photos of the town I spent most my school year before we move back to my families town in Idaho. I love your video. I did some pastel in my youth. Now I am learning it again at 70,,,,,,

Really beautiful painting and technique. I’m new to pastel so I very much appreciate your teaching! Thanks so much! I love color.... you incorporate it so well...

I wholeheartedly agree. There should always be a pathway to invite the viewer.

Beautiful.

Thank you. Love it

Love it!

Your very talented, very inspiring complete novice the pastels will be out today , thank you for your great video !

Love your painting style- very pleasing compositions and colors. Love love love the broken color technique like your paintings. Broken color gives the eye so much more to take in and concider, and adds dynamic movement through the painting as the eye sees layer after layer of subject like trees, grass water etc. I've z,ways struggled trying to "render subjects" how I "think they are" instead of being loose and letting under-layers do much of the work of describing the subject. Nicely done!

love this- great vid- thanks for sharing

Enjoyed your video and how you used the fan brush. Beautiful painting!

Thank you

❤جميل

Muy bonito, que habilidad para pintar, realmente increíble! Gracias!

So delicate and harmonious Bethany. And as beautiful as you are. Thank you for your generosity. 🌹💜

Beautiful

Thanks!

Beautiful work and great demo. Thank you so much. p.s. I like to listen to opera or 60's R&B, La Boheme is my fav currently!

Lovely

you have grown more impressionistic with time and experience shows with your use of tools and techniques. very good ;-)

Very beautiful

Good teaching

That is an AMAZING painting, this is my first video of yours - can’t wait to watch the others! I have been doing watercolor for a few years but it feels like pastel is more “me” - do you have any supply lists or books you recommend to get started. I am not sure if I’ll be any good but I have sold a few dozen of my watercolors, so hopefully I have some potential in this medium.

Very useful!

Once again a beautiful piece of artwork!!!!

Your pastel paintings are almost as beautiful as you are. I enjoy and learn much from your videos.

I listen to podcasts while painting

Good beatıfıl 👏👏👏👏

beautiful painting. love the pink touches. your explain things so well and i plan on checking out your patreon page. since you hang your painting do you lay something below your painting to catch the excess pastel?

This is a beautiful painting, I really don't know anything about pastels, so do you apply a fixative to the painting to protect it?

Thanks for the explanation on how to paint with pastels. Very nice painting I enjoyed very much.

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgot to mention- seperst8ng the foreground tree from the background tree with alcohol was a great tip- I was looking at the Teo areas and thinking about how to make the separation, and it never occurred to me to use alcohol-

I love the way your mark making adds so much to your paintings. Your signature marks are incredible. Do you teach that?

Thank you Bethany for your video. Very interesting and informative. Would you, please, make videos about colours. But not for beginners. Advanced information. Thanks in advance

@Bethany Fields hi! beacon blue comes in 0 to 5. Can you tell me which one that is please? I don’t have the opportunity to see them before I buy. Thank you.

Holy shit this is quality.

What color of dark blue Nupastel do you use? Would it be Spruce blue 305-P?

Your art is beautiful. What type of varnish do you use to protect your paint?

❤❤

Thank you for the video. It is really a beautiful painting. I wanted to ask which kind of pastel you use in this painting. Thank you very much

Olá, tudo bem? Suas pinturas são lindas. Me diz uma coisa: vc diluiu a água com giz pastel seco foi isso?

I'm sure this has been asked before but where would I buy pipe foam? Also, I'm loving your tutorials!!

Great tutorial! Would you get the same effect using a pink or coloured paper for the sky? Instead of using pink pastel? Thanks

You are a great pastel artist, and I'm just learning the technique. Thanks for all your tips and technique "secrets." (BTW, I was watching an old 1940s movie a few weeks ago, and realized that you look like Loretta Young when she was younger, of course!)

hello, dear very nice work, ask which kind of pastel you use in this painting?

👌👍

wow! what soft pastel brands do you recommend for a beginner? :)

Question: What kind of alcohol and what concentration of alcohol do you use for your alcohol washes?

Aboneyim 👌🙋

Hello bethany, i recently started pastel painting and i must say that i am quite disappointed with the results. I cannot seem to get anything right. Its quite hard. I am on the brink of throwing away the pastels and even my dream of becoming a decent pastel artist. But i dont wanna do it. I love the medium and the whole feel of it. I just love the art that you create on ur channel and it is quite inspirational for me. I just want to be better enough to create such art. The reason i am here because i want to seek your guidance on it. I am a total newbie, if only you could just get me on track. I will highly appreciate it if u could maybe share some links for the lessons or anything else in particular which will help me with it. I am in dire need of it.

Can you explain, a bit more, why you use the black tape. What does it help you see?

Is thinner added to the brush? Still not adding any painting medium, just water

what are you using exactly? is that colored chalk?

What type paper do you use?

Скажите, пожалуйста, какую бумагу для пастели вы используете?

Love you, madam

What is your pipe foam?

Son pasteles al oleo?

Unfortunately, only the ad plays. No video.

Let's walk down that road, okay?

que pena la mala calidad de los videos de todo el canal.

Beautiful
