Hello and welcome! I'm Betty Franks, and I create my vision of abstract fields of flowers using acrylic paints and pencils (and other mark-making tools). I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and travel a couple of times a year to Preko, Croatia (where my parents live). I started painting in 2012 and focused on abstract art in the summer of 2015. Follow all my art adventures on Instagram or Facebook (links below).

I'm still in the middle of watching this video but two things really stand out to me. Firstly it's so enjoyable and relaxing watching the work evolve and secondly it's so inspiring listening to you explaining your thought processes. I've watched quite a few of your videos and never tire of your positivity ....it's so helpful and encouraging when you also mention your challenges and how you overcome them. Thank you so much for sharing and actually there are of course more than two things! So I'll add that I agree with you on how it really helps when working on several paintings in conjunction because I have done that too. Also I love the final showing when you do the close ups. ❤

Betty - I have watched this video twice and loved it each time! Thank you for your inspiration! I LOVE bright colors, circles, and lots of crazy marks, but I “overthink” about it, worrying what others will think. I love my art, but the people pleasing in me seems to keep me worrying about what others think. Any help on stopping the crazy, negative thinking when it comes to our art? Thank you! Again - LOVE your art and loved your class!

@BettyFranksArt 11 ай бұрын

I totally understand the people pleasing thing. A couple of things might help. 1) Create, but don't share. Just create for yourself. 2) Listen to podcasts/audiobooks while creating. For me, it helps turn down the volume of the negative self talk. Hope that helps. Keep on creating, Leslie!

Hello again... I am enjoying this video... And I see that you have a glass pallet, but that you have put white paint on it or something... Is that so that you can clearly see the colors? The white color on your piece of glass acrylic paint? Is this done so that at some point you can scrape the whole thing off reuse the piece of glass? Questions questions!

@BettyFranksArt Жыл бұрын

It's not a glass palette. It's a canvas board wrapped with 4 mil plastic (that's why it's white). I have several of these to use when I'm working small. Thanks for watching!

@Jane_H Жыл бұрын

I’m impressed that the paper didn’t buckle at all. I’m sure you knew it had good performance and it’s why you picked it. But I didn’t know Bristol would stand up to acrylic THAT well. I usually stick to canvas paper when I’m not using a canvas, but this might be a good alternative too. Do you know what the weight is??

@Jane_H Жыл бұрын

And oh my gosh yes, overcoming perfectionism is so hard! A few months ago I was on a mission to challenge myself to work faster, have a practice (not masterpiece) mindset, and not attempt to be perfect. It worked for a bit but I quickly found myself reverting back and getting more nit picky and lost in the details again 😭

@BettyFranksArt Жыл бұрын

I love working on Bristol paper! You can find it on my favorite art supply list: www.bettyfranksart.com/my-favorite-art-supplies I'm not sure what part of the world you're in. If it's an area that has a lot of humidity, paper may not hold up well. Try it out! Overcoming perfectionism is an ongoing struggle for me! Try working faster for only a short period of time. Set a timer for 10 (or 20 or...) minutes and see how much you can get done without over-thinking. Then go back to slowing down. Have fun creating, Jane!

Hi Sherrie! I haven't had the opportunity (or need) to frame any pieces lately. When I do (which will be a while), I'll create a video of my process. Thank you for asking! I have created using mostly neutrals in the past (not very often). It doesn't translate as well. After giving it a try, I realized that I much prefer my brighter colors.

I have a question. I often hearI people say that their painting is overworked. Can u please explain what that means exactly? Does it mean you had something good and u ruined it? O r does it mean it’s too detailed and can u univerwork a painting? Can u do a video abt this and like how you know to stopi

Good question! I believe that it's something that each artist goes through and learns on their own what they consider overworked. I've had many folks comment that I should have stopped sooner. However, at that stage of the painting, it's just not "me". Yes, I could stop, but I don't LOVE it yet. Each artists figures out through practice when they're done and when they're gone a little too far and overworked the painting. I hope that helps!

Im currently working on a very large piece but struggling to make it cohesive mainly for that reason, my biggest struggle is with the color choices. Do you have any advice?

@BettyFranksArt Жыл бұрын

I hear ya! Sometimes I put out way too many colors. That's when I realize I need to limit my colors. That usually helps. And, seems like adding a neutral color and white (think values) always pulls it together. Good luck to you!

Do you ever change the orientation of your boards?

Good question! I don't! I was once told that you SHOULD rotate your paintings. I tried that and it doesn't work for me! I have found over the years that I prefer the portrait mode (verses landscape). Because of that, I have a hard time with landscape mode paintings. I need more practice!
