What if you could capture a feeling of the landscapes around you? What would that feel like to create art that brought yourself and others to a place of rest just by looking at it? That is what Beth Cole’s work does for me. It is a giant exhale and I can almost feel the breeze, sun on my face and the sounds of the birds in the air.  This is such a gift that Beth has to capture landscapes so powerfully that we get to enjoy it too. It is with great excitement that I announce her first online course on our creative network!

Instant access tomorrow morning for The Painted Prairie with Beth Cole. Registration is $62, the course is 4+ hours of content, lifetime access and downloadable.  The course will go live on April 24th. Come and read all about it.

From Beth Cole…

Imagine a place of tranquility, calmness and quiet – where you can hear the wind in the trees, feel the breeze in your hair and see the sun rise and fall with the circle of the days.

This is the heartland, the prairie, the place I call home. In “The Painted Prairie,” I want to bring you into my little corner of the world, to share the most beautiful parts of it with you. I will guide you through a painting process you can use over and over to breathe life into your work.

Join me as we paint land, water and sky based on an intention that will guide you through the process and keep you grounded. You will learn about perspective in the landscape, composing the scene, creating lost and found edges and mixing warm and cool grays.

We’ll explore form by practicing animals and buildings in the landscape. You’ll see how a few paint strokes and value contrasts can tell a story and bring the painting to the place you intended.

My hope is that through this course you will find rest and contentment, not only in the learning and creativity, but in the beauty of what we will be painting – the land itself and the ethereal cape of atmosphere it displays for us. It is all around us, all we need is to be willing to open our eyes and see.
