Hello! I’m Bethany Fields, an artist and educator painting the landscapes I love, teaching what I’ve learned, and sharing a creative life from my studio in Texas.
A little summer catch-up from my studio. France, lots of plein air painting, creative experiments, and a few exciting plans beginning to take shape for the year ahead. I’m heading back to France, dreaming up some new painting adventures, and finding plenty of inspiration closer to home, too.
A reflection on beauty, creativity, friendship, and returning to life through a pastel retreat in the Dordogne region of France.
I am so thrilled to finally share something I’ve been working on quietly (and passionately) for many months, my brand-new book, Elements of Art. This 49-page guide is designed for artists, teachers, and anyone curious about the building blocks of visual expression. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful chapters on Line, Shape, Value, Texture, Color, Space, and […]
Autumn is here, with trees glowing in gold and rust. In my upcoming live Zoom class, I’ll show you how to capture that beauty in pastel—layering rich colors, building light, and bringing the season’s warmth to life on your paper
Join Bethany Fields’ Painting Water in Pastels workshop on August 23 and explore her new art shop with small framed originals in soft launch.
Learn how to capture the strength, rhythm, and beauty of trees in pastel. In this 3-hour recorded class, Bethany Fields guides you through structure, value, color, and expressive mark-making—helping you paint trees with confidence and grace.

Learn how to paint trees with light and form—class is tomorrow!
Join Bethany Fields for a week of plein air painting, creativity, and connection in the French countryside. Retreat details & registration here!
It’s a full month in the studio—live demos, a new class on painting trees, and a regional exhibit! Here’s a peek at what’s coming up and how you can join in. I’d love to see you along the way.
I’m so excited (and a little nervous) to host my first live Zoom class tomorrow post-cancer treatment. I’m unbelievably thankful for so many who have cheered and encouraged me these past 11 months. I can’t believe so much time has gone by, and while it seemed daunting and slow, the light at the end of the tunnel is bright and happy!
