Thank you for stopping by! In this video, I'm creating on a 36x36" canvas. While creating, I talk about my imposter syndrome and what I did to overcome it.
My work is inspired by my love for fields of flowers. You'll see me create it from start to finish. There's no music, however, you'll hear me talk through a lot of my process and discuss products/tools that I'm using.

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).

You could not do such wonderful art if you were not an artist. Not only are you an artist but you are an INSPIRATIONAL ARTIST and also you are a THERAPEUTIC ARTIST as your videos are so comforting and lovely to listen to. Perhaps you are a MEGA-ARTIST: you get people started on their own paintings, and others can just enjoy watching you create.

Such an important topic! I was born an artist. I didnt realize I was self taught until my fifties. It was also that period where some fellow artists I used to have to create with taught me to say that “I am an artist!” I miss my tribe so much (all have moved away and Im alone now). That self doubt comes in all the time since I dont get to sell my art for a living. Thank you for addressing this.

Was born an artist had people tell me to say “ I am an artist!” Comes so naturally to me it’s like second nature to me… ive had quite a few people pop up out of the woodwork lately saying “ I still have your beautiful piece!” Still hangs in my bedroom etc!

love this and am going to go through it again. As an artist, i came from advertising / graphic design/art direction so in PLEASING OTHERS for 5 decades it's extremely painstaking to find out WHO i am and WHAT i have to SAY now in doing art for my own enjoyment. Would NEVER have thought it was this hard, no matter how "good" many say you are, you still have to find yourself.

My first time watching you paint. I just heard of you from a student of your classes. I love your joyful pallet and method. Also I totally agree with the comparason game we play on ourselves. I tell my tribe constantly not to compare their work with others. Only compare with your previous work and don't expect to see your first works in a museum. When you have worn out some brushes then you have done some work to compare with your past. So don't beat yourself up. Thank you for sharing the love of what you do!

EVERY artist should study color theory because you can mix MUD very easily. Cadmium red for instance won't get you purples as it already has yellow in it, warm and cool colors are different in mixing.

@@BettyFranksArt it's a HUGE asset! I used to sell prepress films and printing after 40 years in advertising and artists are amazed how little of their colors they can get through the 4-color printing process so understanding what turns to MUD and WHY is huge, understanding what happens when you add milk to a glass of water helps when you want to lighten a color WITHOUT WHITE, Things like toning down a color with a little of it's complimentary color...science things like how SHADOWS are formulated by more of the color, complimentary color and blue is such a "GOD thing". Like anatomy, It's the crucial tool to make good art no matter how boring it is. One day we will be in heaven and realize that our human eye could not see ALL THE SPECTRUMS of colors there in light while here on earth. MORE COLORS!

I can't really explain how positive and helpful it is having you create right in front of me. It's so inspirational watching your painting develop. So, I'm still waiting to hear about your explanation on the 'imposter syndrome' topic. I only recently found this syndrome on you tube, up till then I didn't know I had this! What I mean is I didn't know there was a name for my insecurity and constant doubting. Now I've heard you everything you say is so very helpful.Thank you so much for bringing the subject up and continuing to be encouraging in every way. It's making me push myself when I lack confidence and believe much more in myself. ❤

I having been painting nearly everyday or so since the start of COVID. I sold a few things to friends and friends of friends. Everyone who sees my work is very enthusiastic-at least to my face. The inventory is building up and I don't have space in my small home to store too many 24x36 canvases. I decided to go for it. I had a business card with part of one of my paintings on one side and the word "Artist" under my name. I also paid someone to do a website. I notice a big change in attitude when I hand people the card. They seem to regard this as a legitimate business now. All those classes in college finally mean something. Thanks, Betty for your inspiration.

You were saying that sometimes you like the calming effect that neutrals impart to your painting - I so agree! For me, using too many bright colors is confusing to my eye, and I find that neutrals used in the right places add a lot of perspective, especially near the top, where usually you want things to look further away. Although it's abstract and perspective is perhaps less important, my eye is trained to recognize distance and wants it to be there anyway. My eyes like to travel INTO a painting, as well as around it. Currently learning just how to go about that, waiting for that "lightbulb!" moment of discovery....

I have been using my bundle that I purchased, I love them. I just went back a couple of days ago to purchase more colors, I got the mid century and pearl bundles. I love how well the paints mix I did some painterly gel prints last night with your colors, and wow they turned out beautiful. Thank you for your channel and sharing.

I always shied away from abstract art but I’ve recently realised it’s a wonderful thing to look at and a joy to try so I’ve turned my thinking around. I’ve just enrolled in your accordion art course…I’m excited to be embracing something new😊

@BettyFranksArt 5 ай бұрын

Wonderful! I felt the same way many years ago, Theresa. It's like all of a sudden I was loving abstract art. I realized that before that I wasn't seeing abstract art that spoke to my heart. I think you're going to love the course! Thank so much for signing up!

So enjoyed this! I (personally) love the longer Vlogs and YT Demos. I enjoyed hearing about Imposter Syndrome, very helpful. Just got my 'Betty's Bundle" Haven't used them yet, but will likely break them open today! Thanks so much

Thank you for sharing that feedback with me, Kathy. I really appreciate it! And, I hope you got a chance to break into the paints. I think you're going to love them!

so much good stuff on here apart from the actual pic. Yes practice is all. i have been doing a personal 365 collages mission this year and i am sure better now than when i started. you also mention courses such as your own and they can be light bulb moments. thanks to you. you lightened a sleepless night in uk where like much of the world life has begun to seem a rather frightening grind. best R

Hi Robert! That is so cool that you've been doing a collage project! And, I bet you have learned so much throughout the year about techniques and about yourself. Love that!
