Hello and Welcome!

I’m Bethany Fields, an artist and educator living and working in Texas. For many years, I’ve shared my love of pastel through painting demonstrations, lessons, workshops, and conversations about the creative process. This page brings much of that teaching together in one place. Whether you’re new to pastel or have been painting for years, I hope you’ll find something here that encourages you to experiment, strengthen your skills, and most importantly, to keep painting.

Explore the Lesson Library

Below you’ll find a simple, clickable index featuring many of my most-loved pastel lessons and demonstrations. It’s easiest to browse on a desktop or tablet. Click an image or link to learn more about a lesson and how to access it.

The Patreon Archive

My Patreon teaching library represents years of lessons, demonstrations, supply lists, studio notes, and creative exploration. While I’m no longer regularly adding new instructional content there, the archive remains available and is a wonderful resource if you’d like to explore my past teaching at your own pace.

Already a patron? Be sure you’re logged into Patreon to access the lessons included with your membership.

Prefer to Purchase a Lesson?

Many of my classes and demonstrations are also available as individual purchases, so you can choose the subjects that interest you most without joining a membership. Click the lesson images below to see the available options.

Looking for Free Tutorials?

You’ll also find painting demonstrations, studio visits, art conversations, and plenty of creative inspiration on my YouTube channel. It’s a lovely place to begin if you’re new here—or simply want to spend a little time painting alongside me.

My work continues to grow and change, just as I hope yours does. These lessons are part of many years spent teaching, painting, experimenting, and learning alongside other artists, and I’m very happy to have them gathered here for you.

Thank you for visiting. Take a look around, find something that sparks your interest, and then go paint.

xoxo,
B
