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.
Thank you so much!
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.
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
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!
Yes PDC is amazing! I'm lucky to live so close. Thank you for watching!
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...
Thank you!!
I tried this one today. I love it. I love how Bethany makes it look so painterly.
I'm so glad!
What a great idea having the pastels back 5 feet from your easle
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💕
Oh thank you so much!
I wholeheartedly agree. There should always be a pathway to invite the viewer.
Yes!
I really enjoyed this. New to pastels, love pathways and wildflowers and your style of teaching. Inspired.
Thank you so much 😀
All I can say is: ***WOW*** !!
:D
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,,,,,,
Go for it!
Love watching you work; I learn a lot.
Thank you!
Awesome tutorial. Thanks Bethany!
Bravo,❤
Very impressive. Love control of the color. All the best !
Thank you very much!
You are a great teacher!!!! Thank you!
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!
Thank you so much!
That’s really lovely. Thank you for the demo.
Thank you! Cheers!
So delicate and harmonious Bethany. And as beautiful as you are. Thank you for your generosity. 🌹💜
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful. Thank you for all the information packed into this demonstration!

Beautiful painting, thank you so much for this tutorial.
Thanks so much 😊
Now that’s a great video. I really love real-time videos and I can’t wait to try this. Great outcome. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful work Bethany, and thanks for the great explanation.
you have grown more impressionistic with time and experience shows with your use of tools and techniques. very good ;-)
Thank you so much. I'm so glad this comes across. :)
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-
Beautiful.

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?
I do not. I use a light touch and frame behind glass. :)
In my long-ago experience, I used a spray fixative on a finished pastel work, before framing.
I use Spectrafix which does not darken the colors, only when you first apply it. It dries and the bright colors return.
@@BethanyFields I'm wanting to subscribe to your patron. But I haven't seen any new videos in a few months. Have you stopped making them or are they being released to patron first before they release to your public channel? I'm actually really considering joining your studio Circle patron because I love your style so much ❤
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
Thank you. Love it
Beautiful
Thank you!
Eres increíble!!
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.
Muy bonito, que habilidad para pintar, realmente increíble! Gracias!
Love it!
Your pastel paintings are almost as beautiful as you are. I enjoy and learn much from your videos.
Wow, thank you
Good teaching
Thank you!
I listen to podcasts while painting
:D
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!
Good choice!
Thanks!
love this- great vid- thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Lovely
Thanks for the explanation on how to paint with pastels. Very nice painting I enjoyed very much.
So glad you enjoyed!
Once again a beautiful piece of artwork!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Unfortunately, only the ad plays. No video.
It's just fine working
Your art is beautiful. What type of varnish do you use to protect your paint?
Very beautiful
So nice :)
I love the way your mark making adds so much to your paintings. Your signature marks are incredible. Do you teach that?
Oh thank you! I think mark making is so personal - truly like personal calligraphy! I find it "comes out" the more you practice. Thinking of your pastels as brushes (big ones, small ones, fat ones, skinny ones) and using different hardnesses of pastel have taught me a lot!
Yup- mark making is key- coloring not so much- filling in subjects needs to be done with layers and marks to give the subjects life. I struggle too with mark making, but watching other artists paint with marks is helping me get the knack of it
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?
Thank you so much!
Very useful!
Glad it was helpful!
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.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time! Learning anything is difficult when we see the gap of where we are and where we want to be. Don't give up! Even the missteps are paths forward. Chin up and paint! :D
Holy shit this is quality.
Well, thank you!
I'm sure this has been asked before but where would I buy pipe foam? Also, I'm loving your tutorials!!
They have it at most home improvement stores!
Olá, tudo bem? Suas pinturas são lindas. Me diz uma coisa: vc diluiu a água com giz pastel seco foi isso?
Obrigada! Eu lavo o pastel com álcool isopropílico. :
hello, dear very nice work, ask which kind of pastel you use in this painting?
Many different brands. Some of my recommendations are here: www.bethanyfieldsblog.com/best-pastels-for-beginners/
@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.
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!)
Thank you so much 😀
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Question: What kind of alcohol and what concentration of alcohol do you use for your alcohol washes?
I like to use 91% isopropyl alcohol. 70% works well, too!
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
I am using many brands here. I have some suggestions on my blog: www.bethanyfieldsblog.com/best-pastels-for-beginners/
❤❤
Great tutorial! Would you get the same effect using a pink or coloured paper for the sky? Instead of using pink pastel? Thanks
Yes, that would definitely get you started in the right direction! Toned papers are wonderful.
@@BethanyFields great thanks
Can you explain, a bit more, why you use the black tape. What does it help you see?
It just adds a nice framing element so I can better see and make small adjustments at the end. :)
Скажите, пожалуйста, какую бумагу для пастели вы используете?
Here: amzn.to/3SMPA6n :)
wow! what soft pastel brands do you recommend for a beginner? :)
Hi! Nupastel, Rembrandt, Unison, Terry Ludwig! :)
What color of dark blue Nupastel do you use? Would it be Spruce blue 305-P?
what are you using exactly? is that colored chalk?
This is soft pastel :)
Is thinner added to the brush? Still not adding any painting medium, just water
It is rubbing alcohol :)
What type paper do you use?
Son pasteles al oleo?
soft pastel!
👌👍
Love you, madam
Aboneyim 👌🙋
What is your pipe foam?
I purchase it at the home improvement store!
que pena la mala calidad de los videos de todo el canal.
Let's walk down that road, okay?
Ok
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
