From Strasburg PA, Beth Bathe’s award winning representational paintings have been described by art critics as “evoking nostalgia, like that of an old sepia toned photograph, often with just touches of color.” Curiosity about the medium Beth works is often the first question of many viewers. Is it watercolor, is it oil? Beth’s answer: “somewhat both.” She works with Water Mixable Oil Colors in a limited palette, using brushes and unconventional tools. Beth crisscrosses the country, painting en plein air and participates in up to ten high-profile juried and invitation national competitions a year. She is an ambassador for Royal Talens NA Cobra paint.
