“HOW DO I DO IT?” Aug 12, Demos- Pastel Painting with Betsy Payne Cook

Betsy Payne Cook paints exclusively with pastels, and is honored to be elected as a Juried Associate Member of the Pastel Society of America and to have achieved signature membership status in the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod and the Connecticut Pastel Society. Betsy is also acknowledged as a Juried Master Artist at the Cape Cod Art Association.  Betsy’s paintings depict her impressions of the landscape and its abundance of colors. She paints both en plein air and in her studio; and conveys her love of the outdoors in each painting.  Betsy publishes a newsletter and a blog both titled “Painting In and Out”, sharing her thoughts on her life as an artist. In January 2021, she began a weekly Open Studio Visit via Zoom to connect with artists and followers. To receive information about upcoming studio visits  please subscribe to her newsletter and you will receive invitations.

Betsy’s work can be viewed at various local venues and at Woodruff’s Art Gallery in Mashpee Commons where she is one of the gallery artists.
