- Hi TH-cam! Today I'm sharing a "Painting from the Past" - a series for my ongoing online classes focusing on revisiting older paintings to re-paint them! This was a fun trip down memory lane and I hope you enjoy! The painting lesson begins at the 4:00 mark.

another beautiful piece
I watched this again today, Bethany. I loved it even more. The light path you created is quite effective. I need to emulate your light touch.
Oh thank you Josephine!
This was a great learning experience. Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn new and different techniques. You are a great teacher. Thank you.
Happy to hear that!
Love this!!
You are so good!
The best!
Gorgeous Bethany! I love it!
Thank you!! 😊
Am very impressed with your tutorial, very beautiful drawing with amazing colours. Thanks for sharing your skill.
Thank you very much!
Bethany! Super! Bravo! Merci! Привлекательный зимний пейзаж! Спасибо тебе Бети!!! 🤗🤩👌😻😇🍀💐
:D
This was a really fun tutorial. Also, I just recently started using pastels for landscapes & have watched a lot of tutorial videos by several different, wonderful artists for the last 5 months or so. This is the FIRST time I've heard anyone mention to be careful about breathing the pastel dust! I definitely need to be more careful about that! Thank you!
Oh great! Yes, do be careful!
Fantastic Demo Bethany!!! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Laura!
Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing 👌
You’re welcome 😊
Great demo. Learned a different aspect to creating trees, and using a fan brush. It was also helpful to remind me to focus on the direction of the light. Many times I can't see what I need, and that was a good reminder. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Bonnie!
Thanks for sharing your art-Lovely paintings and your demo is inviting
Thank you so much!

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you.
Your art teaching is awesome-loved the video😀💖💛💚💙
Thank you so much 😀
I love watching this video. It’s just gorgeous.
Thank you Alta!
Very instructive and helpful! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Greg! I'm glad this was helpful for you! :)
Beautiful
Thank you!
I love this! But I think you should soften some edges on that tree on the left. Thanks!
:)
I agree that the tree in the original is problematic. Of course as a pastelist myself I couldn’t help figuring out how I would have changed the composition. I think I would have brought the more out of focus tree to front left, a 3/4 view, and have a shadow and some branches pointing toward your focal point. Your new comp works better too. I love the original and the remake.
Thank you very much!
I love watching your videos. I find them so helpful. I thought the large tree on the left should have been a little lower in the sky. My eye kept leaving the scene
Art is so subjective, isn't it? :) Thank you for watching!
@@BethanyFields I look forward to seeing all your videos. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents with me
Hi Beth! I’m trying to follow this amazing tutorial but I don’t understand where I could find the extended video with the thumbnail sketch? I’m I right? In the blog you said? Sorry as a non native English I missed some parts :)
Super!
Thank you! Cheers!
Have to be honest, I prefer the first one.
Hi Bethany. Loved this painting. Is the graphite pencil you used to create some trunk/branch effects like a mechanical pencil or regular pencil?
I like mechanical pencils (regular graphite). It's such a fine point that is hard to achieve with pastel pencils. :)
What kind of pastels are you using? Also do you have a link to the brand? Thansk!
That’s Beautiful! Question - I dropped my painting board bottom edge down on a table - not hard, but my whole paining just fell off in a pile on the table - is that supposed to happen?
What kind of paper were you using?
@@BethanyFields oh, thanks for replying - I was using mostly soft pastels on Wallis sanded paper- it was my first attempt and I wanted a realistic look. I think I just put too much down too heavily. I still don’t understand how to tell when you’ve reached the limit of what the paper can hold on to. Or should you start with something lighter underneath? This is all quite new to me. I am an oil painter but have lost my studio until next summer and have poor ventilation. Will watch all you videos they are great!
@@elisabethseeger5837 Some pastel loss is inevitable, even with sanded papers. I "tap" my paintings lightly to remove excess before I frame them. It does help to use a light touch and sometimes even harder pastels (they create less dust). I don't like to fill my paper with too much pastel. Sometimes a painting can look like it's suffocating!! :)
Bethany Fields - thanks Bethany, maybe just need more experience🙂 I really enjoy your channel,
Thank you! This was very informative. Do you always use a dark blue under painting to all of your pastel paintings?
Not every single time! I do love it for trees especially. :)
👏👏👏👏❤🌹🙋
Hello how are you today my friend 😊 💞
