A tip: watch movies on instaflixxer. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@abelgunnar7651]

@Dominic Bronson Definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself =)

[@julieannemason4877]

Beautiful style! I am amazed at how you go from a cool reference photo to a warm painting. What a difference!❤

[@rajatbhushan6423]

I’m a beginner and your painting are awesome and your teaching style is excellent. Thanks for your lessons.

[@BethanyFields]

Thank you so much 😊

[@BethanyFields]

I'm excited to share this lesson with you! :)

[@jonathanmadden5112]

This is brilliant, thank you.

[@petergates7962]

Beautiful I have just got into doing Pastel and I'm watching quite a few videos on here trying to absorb information and trying techniques. So thank you for the work you show.

[@poulos801]

Bethany, you are such a wonderful instructor. I've learned so much today and also painted my first painting with a stream after following another video or yours. I'm actually pretty happy with mine which makes me super happy. Still have much to learn so looking forward to learning more from you. Thank you.

[@lorirogers1911]

Fantastic instruction and gorgeous painting! Thank you for sharing so much knowledge-

[@michelleannette7994]

Hi Bethany, I just finished watching this video. I hadn't seen any of your videos before. I was so impressed. I just got pastels and have no clue what I'm doing. Everyone I've watched so far other than Lindsay the frugal crafter has overwhelmed me. I love the painterly ladndscapes, but you are by far the best I've watched in this category. I learned so much watching this painting, and will look for more. Thank you so much❤❤

[@BethanyFields]

That is so kind of you to say. Thank you!

[@celeste-236]

Such a beautiful, pastoral work of art....

[@BethanyFields]

Thank you Celeste!

[@cherryhanna4808]

This is very interesting. Had you dipped your fan brush into the rubbing alcohol before blending in the nupastel?

[@BethanyFields]

Yes, exactly!

[@1DaTJo]

[@vinayartist]

I LIKE YOUR WORLREALY AMAZING TECHNIC

[@BethanyFields]

[@vinayartist]

Welcome 😄

[@williamnguyen2160]

I'd like to know why did you use the yellow and orange colour for underpainting. Thanks

[@miguelesteinmetz6019]

Thank you so much for this video 🙏

[@BethanyFields]

You are so welcome!

[@naomibrik8843]

Hello Bethany, I did this on Fabriano mixed paper with clear gesso. It was very difficult

[@BethanyFields]

Good for you for trying! :)

[@tracys58]

Can you tell us more about the fan brush you use? What brand and type please.

[@BethanyFields]

It is a synthetic fan brush!

[@athenemathews783]

hey'a what are you using to blend

[@milesoster3122]

Bethany are you still making videos? I want to join your patron and possibly the studio Circle if you are still offering it? 🤞

[@BethanyFields]

I am! I am producing videos on my Patreon channel! :)

[@edgardorozcocampos]

Hi Bethany! because she uses alcohol to dilute the cake and not water….? thanks, success!

[@BethanyFields]

Yes, this is isopropyl alcohol (91%)

[@edwardgold7696]

Where can I find the reference photo?

[@TacticalTipz]

🎉

[@TheMatureArtist]

Who produces the mounted paper?

[@BethanyFields]

This is Uart sanded paper. They sell it mounted but this piece was mounted by my framer. :)

[@iarina9164]

is she using water or rubbing alcohol after the initial wash?

[@BethanyFields]

alcohol

[@supriyasoni1377]

How do u fix your artwork? Which fixative?

[@BethanyFields]

Hello! I don't use fixative. :)

[@supriyasoni1377]

Bethany Fields okay.. how does dry pastel stays? After framing?

[@SueKerriganHarrisArtist]

The pastel paper is sanded 500 grit UART.The paper grabs the pastel so it doesn't need to be fixed

[@BethanyFields]

@@supriyasoni1377 I put all my paintings behind glass. :)

[@BethanyFields]

@@SueKerriganHarrisArtist Thanks for helping answer questions Sue! :D

[@canadaverydry]

You are as pretty as your painting!

[@BethanyFields]

Aw shucks, thank you!

[@bibibrin5035]

What kind of pastel are you using? I'm guessing not oil pastels...

[@BethanyFields]

These are all soft pastels :)

[@cherryhanna4808]

First view. Beautiful work! The 'you know's could be a deal breaker. Suggest slowing down, maybe reading a script.

[@BethanyFields]

I do my best! :) Thank you for watching.

Hablas demasiado y a toda prisa a veces de asuntos que no necesariamente tienen que ver con la técnica, esto hace que uno se le dificulte ver tu demostración……
