Bethany Moore is a visual artist and tutor who is passionate about drawing nature and loves to teach. Fascinated by the quiet contemplation of still-life studies, she enjoys the process of observing, drawing and painting her various subjects. She loves to share these mindful drawing techniques with others and travels to art groups and corporate venues around the country to discuss and teach traditional observational drawing methods.
Bethany enjoys the act of mark-making and likes to draw with graphite and charcoal and paint in watercolours and oils. She enjoys changing mediums to explore form, texture and light. In 2017 she founded the Cowes Library Drawing Group , to encourage observational drawing skills and techniques. She is a member of the IW Creative Network.
