Fine Art TV Series - Colour In Your Life
Season - 08
Episode - 06
Filmed on Location at - Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Born in 1939, Barbara has enjoyed a long and successful career pursuing her first love - painting, with a particular skill for pastel work.
Although guided and influenced by several well-known Australian Artists, she is basically self-taught. Her expertise has developed over four decades, and although retired from teaching these days, she was an established and well-respected teacher in both oils and pastels for many years.
To Barbara, painting is a passion, and sharing her gift is important to her. She demonstrates her techniques at Art Societies and Rotary Art shows throughout Victoria, and over the years has judged many of these events. As well, she has won many awards that have gained her much recognition throughout her career.
Barbara paints mainly in pastels and oils these days, but she is also noted for her work in gouache and sometimes watercolour. Through these media, she has captured with true colour and clarity of vision, and her love of the Australian countryside. Her dynamic yet restful paintings are full of freshness, energy and movement, inviting all to share her enthusiasm and insights into the nature of things.

Australia lost one of it's most talented pastel artists. A gem, gone but not forgotten.

[@MT-bc6xf]

What a great artist. ❤️ we miss her and her amazing art!

Very sad to hear Barbara has passed away, such a lovely talented lady and I'll miss seeing her new creations. xx

Omg! I loved her work! Too sad.

[@zenaidamateos9376]

[@jess65963]

It is now, March 2023 and the painting in pastels still ever so lovely.💐

[@1DaTJo]

[@debahutichatterjitalukder8240]

One of the best channels on Pastel art

[@karlschwinbarger105]

Wow!

[@shoot4thstars]

One of the most accomplished artists I've seen on this series! An inspiration .

I would love to see all the footage of her doing this piece. I think all of us could learn a lot! Thanks, Barbara! I hope you are still doing marvelous paintings in heaven for everyone out there to appreciate! :)

[@jwsmithyou]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@lydiagreenartandhorses]

Thank you for sharing Barbs paintings, I loved to see them, sorry she has passed, she has left behind a good piece of herself in her work.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Many thanks

[@josephineherrera8508]

I have watched this a few times in the past. Her work has inspired me so much. So sorry that she died. Her work will live on with her soul.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Thank you Josephine, Nice sentiments, Graeme

[@leonalia]

I have been lucky enough to see her work. She is a brilliant artist. Thanks so much for your channel. I am so glad I found you..

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Thanks so much for coming in to our channel and hopefully learning more about Art and the amazing Artists across the globe. If you get the time share our channel with your friends. We upload a new video every week. Thanks again, Graeme

[@inboundnewt]

Im in the states and work with pastels, this is the first time Ive seen someone work on a black ground, I had doubts about the black ground in the start of the video but she pulled it together nicely!!

[@byrnesmith7732]

Makes me want to pull out my box of pastels that I haven't used in four years from waaaay back in that bottom drawer. Think I will. Thanks!

[@maryschiff9580]

This is beautiful, as are all of her paintings. Just brilliant. 👏❤️

I've noticed such a drastic difference between pastel artists that you feature and the "mainstream" youtube channels. Real great job with the curation! The quality of people in your video is just breathtaking, and Barbara was at the top! I didn't even know that one can achieve this in pastel! Her themes and rendering just vibed with me so much throughout the video. And yeah, just read in the comment that this wonderful artist passed away. She went with a marvelous artistic blast, affecting yet another person years after this interview.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Thanks Zivko. We approach the best possible people we can to bring you guys the shows. Please tell other people what we are doing, its been tough to keep going with the current lock downs, Graeme

[@efrom8330]

I love to draw with pastels, to be honest i'm a "learner-learning". It's so amazing how Barbara Beasley-Southgate turns the blackness into beautiful luminosity, is like watching the night fading into the day. I love it and i will give it a try. It's a pleasure indeed to watch CIYL and i wont stop expressing my gratitude to the work all of you are doing. Thank you very much :)

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Thats a wonderful comment to make. Thanks so much for watching our channel. We will have a new show for you every week. Tell your friends when you get the chance, thanks again, Graeme

[@peterpoliti2623]

Barbara is a favorite of mine and so happy to see her featured in this video.

[@sheliacruz3502]

Amazing. Please continue to bring more pastel and watercolor artist on your show. Can't get enough of this great program.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Keep spreading the word Shelia, we are airing in America this month for the first time as well, Graeme

[@Jasmammy]

Thank you,Graeme for sharing this video,Barbara is amazing,I love the way she speaks and her landscapes are really awesome!

[@MichelleJosephLongFineArt]

Barbara is a wonderful artist. I've never seen her work, but, love what she does with the pastels. I also like how she talks about her technique and her feelings toward doing right or wrong with art. I agree with her thought on that; the world would be quite boring if everyone did everything the same.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Thats a wonderful comment to make. Thanks so much for watching our channel. We will have a new show for you every week. Tell your friends when you get the chance, thanks again, Graeme

[@raez2007]

I think I have just found a fav new artist, her work is truly amazing, such a true artwork of our beautiful Australian landscape.

[@incaroads001]

I've only watched this channel a couple of times now and I love it. This interviewer is restrained and asks astute questions. He gets a lot out of the artists. Having grown up around a lot of artists, my mother not the least of them, I know how difficult that can be. Really good stuff.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Thanks for your kind words, I do my best, Graeme

[@Del-Martinez-]

wow! Just beautiful!

[@creativebobbo]

[@ok-joy]

Какое великолепие цвета ! !! Спасибо за ваш труд

[@claudemaximus9409]

She is and awesome Lady.

[@peggyscott4791]

So glad you interviewed her because she has passed and she can not teach now

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

she will teach in a small way for ever now, Graeme

[@natayacrow]

Wonderful presentation. Love her use of color...just seems to dazzle. What kind of paper does she use?

[@lyncook4345]

Absolutely stunning work! Question; Does Barbara "fix" her work, & how does she recommend shipping pastels? thanks.

[@ruthburley7386]

Great video! What kind of paper is she using?

[@DMCART9]

👏👏👏👌👍🌺

[@adamsaoud7191]

thank u so much both of u for this awesome interview and a lot of useful informations and its good to have a good education about art even if we dont really work in arts

[@zenoist2]

Impressive! Making something look good from a fairly mundane scene is really difficult.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

zenoist2 Hi , yes she is amazing. We will have many more great Artists over time, so I hope you enjoy them all, dont forget to tell other folks about us. This only helps us to keep all of this going for everyone out there, hope all is well, Graeme

[@Omnicide_Perez]

@Graeme, did she say that Terry Ludwig Pastels was her current favorite at time-stamp 7:14?

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

+Jon Quinones Hi Jon, just got back from filming again. We are on our way on the 1st of December, have some amazing people on board, how are things on your end, Graeme

[@krkabob]

Shoot... no... don't duck away. I'd buy this entire video if it was available. Great stuff but we missed the really good part.

[@smasica]

I noticed she didn't use a fixative during any stage of her painting. Does she use this after the painting is finished? I would think it'd be necessary to prevent the color from being 'dusted off'.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Yes she does Stephan, but not during the work, Graeme

[@1DaTJo]

What paper did Barb use?

[@vovchik1438]

It seems to me that you have crossed double continuous white line along the centre of the road (14 c ) :-)))

[@Ramesh_009]

use pastel pepar brand name plz

[@jcepri]

yuck. this style is not for me.

[@wuu88]

Amazing...thanks Graeme for sharing this. A new inspiration for me.
