I think my jealousy level just reached my peak, I can only strive to have cloud as brilliant as those. I am a beginner and I will continue to thrive to this quality.

Thank you so much!

[@BethanyFields]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@jeffboyce1]

Beautiful job - you are so talented. It was also really great to hear the progression of the work to accompany the time lapse. That was really helpful!

[@BethanyFields]

+Jeff Boyce Thank you very much Jeff! I'm glad you enjoyed the time-lapse!

[@jeffboyce1]

+Bethany Fields Welcome! Question - what brand of Artists Ink do you use? Thanks

[@BethanyFields]

+Jeff Boyce I use Daler-Rowney FW Artist's Acrylic Ink. :)

[@mffsmith]

Very helpful! I find it harder to listen with the music playing as well, but I'm sure some people like it.

[@BethanyFields]

Thanks for letting me know! Sometimes it is distracting, I know. You can always mute the sound and that helps! :) Thank you for watching!

[@annalisamarsellaam]

I've just started to follow you from Italy... you're bravissima!

[@BethanyFields]

Thank you!

[@mdempsey7128]

I think my favourite part of this painting is the sun rays :)

[@BethanyFields]

Thank you Mel! I love those too! ;)

[@TammyKindred]

Love your vids! I'd love to see you do a video on a basic still life. I'm a mixed media artist but would love to learn pastel painting and would love a still life video from you!

[@BethanyFields]

Thank you Tammy! I'll add it to my list! :)

[@johnoneill7379]

Bethany, this one is great!! I really like the effect of the Terry Ludwig pastels, we don't see them in England but I will do some research on their availability. :)

[@BethanyFields]

Hi John! Thank you! I love my Terry Ludwigs....I hope you found a source! ??

[@EleniitahZeus]

Thank you so much to share it. Love your channel, I am recently starting with pastels, and I really really have a question on my mind: how could I represent the rain? like a raining landscape? thank you so much from Spain!

[@viviandibrell849]

How do we view the specific set of Terry Ludwigs that you used? Thanks for your beautiful paintings and great instructions!

[@jeremyespinosa9065]

I love your art work is nice and my favorite Form your friend Jeremy

[@BethanyFields]

Jeremy thank you!

[@pablomiezavarela8358]

Thank You Bien, bien, bien, bien good, good, good.

[@BethanyFields]

gracias Pablo! :)

[@tamibretz3753]

Hi Bethany. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us. I cannot get the link for the Terry Ludwig blues. What is the name if the set?

[@MonikaGuptaFineArt]

I was wondering the same .....loving those hues, and wondering where to get those. Did you find it?

[@yumenglu7824]

Awesome! I wonder what kind of paper you use

[@BethanyFields]

This painting was done on Pastel Premiere. You can find links to all the products I use here: www.bethanyfieldsblog.com/resources

[@tonihulick1886]

What brand of workable fixative did you use? Thanks.....lovely work!

[@BethanyFields]

I like Lascaux or Grumbacher!

[@MrKoctbllb]

why it's in stop motion? great painting.

[@BethanyFields]

Thank you! Because I didn't know how to do a video at the time! :) I just knew how to do time-lapse photos and string them together....

[@MrKoctbllb]

are you using dslr for that?

[@BethanyFields]

Yes I am. The video files are very, very large and difficult for my current computer to handle and process. The time-lapse (stop-motion) produces much smaller files but as you noticed, the quality of the video isn't nearly as professional. It's all a learning experience! :)

[@MrKoctbllb]

you work on Mac? if you have Premiere i can help with creating speed up videos :)

[@TheAmoffett13]

Hi Bethany, what a great painting! I have spent the last few days in a bit of a slump having tried to paint and got nowhere. I decided to watch a few of your tutorials to see if I could get my mojo back and wow, did I! Thank you so much for your clear instruction and easy to follow tutorials, I hope that you may do some real time stuff soon also - those would be priceless to beginners such as myself. If you wanted to have a look at how my version of this painting turned out, you can find it here: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156024493194973&set=a.61738049972.87984.625869972&type=3&theater Keep it up, you truly are inspirational!

[@paolo1960]

Talented, beautiful, congratulations! I hope to see even more of your videos may not speeded up if possible. I take this opportunity to request that a fixative me advice. Thank you very much. Paolo Croce (Genua-Italy)

[@BethanyFields]

Thank you so much Paolo! I have more videos coming soon. I hope you enjoy! :)

[@franciscoreygonzalez9908]

No te. entendí nada,pero pintas muy bien,guapa!.jeje

[@BethanyFields]

Gracias!

[@victoriagadd6831]

I meant ‘great’ not get!

[@BethanyFields]

:D

[@anniedarkhorse6791]

Lovely work. Very helpful video. Subscribed. I don't want to waste expensive paper while I'm learning. Do you think it's possible to get many layers on Canson Me Teint, Strathmore 400, Cold-pressed water colour paper or other non-sanded papers like that? Am I making learning much harder for myself, using those papers? I think I need a lot of layers to fix my mistakes.

[@anniedarkhorse6791]

I'm not a fan of the jumping forward video. Can't learn technique from that. Not as useful as real time. Other painters do it in real time. Better.
