In this video, I'm creating on 48x36" canvas. I created one painting and then decided I didn't like it. I then went over it to create a new painting. I loved the new painting and so did a couple from Santa Cruz who purchased 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).

Hi Betty:) Ive been on a wonderful art journey this year...more like a homecoming of sorts.I was once a lover of art and a successful touring musician and I went through some things and ended up homeless and addicted to drugs...anyhow, Ive been sober five years now and Ive never been happier and Im enthused to be making art again, especially while healthy! I adore your art and listening to your voice is very soothing...thank you so much for your generosity and for all the love you put out. Its truly one of a kind! ❤❤❤❤ Sam

Hi Betty, I just painted over a fail, that I almost kept alive, but I had to dig deep to bring myself to paint over it and by golly, it turned out to be one of my all time favorite paintings I've ever done (my opinion, anyway). I lost some of the organic looseness that you do so well, but I haven't mastered that yet. I'm just so happy I took the plunge and created something so beautiful I would never have brought to life had I not trusted my instincts. Love art for that, creating something beautiful out of the clear blue sky! I never really appreciated abstract until I fell in love with your work. Love your art so much!!! 😍

Betty, I just LOVE it at 29 minutes! It reminds me of the scenes in Croatia you showed on IG. Landscape-y, which is unusual for you these days. Really loving that. Can you see what I mean? Upper left waters with waves, and a grayish rock, then that interesting foreground, almost sensing stairs going up to the church or something... 💖

Perhaps I was thinking about my upcoming trip! I created this one several weeks before heading to Croatia. I liked it at that stage, but I wasn't in love with it so I kept going!

Thank you very much Betty, I really enjoyed watching you paint. I also very much appreciate the didactic spirit commenting on the process of the work. I put the canvas on an easel and I would like to put the canvas on the wall. Could you tell me how you hang it to work on the wall. Thank you very much for your dedication, I greatly admire your work. Kind regards, Ana

@BettyFranksArt 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your kind words, Ana! I have long (about 3") screws in the studs that stick out about a half inch. Then I just hang my canvas on them. I hope that works out well for you, too!

Hi! I'm not sure if you're referring to not understand my English or my style of painting. If it' because of my English, you can use the gear icon under the video to turn on sub-titles in your own language. If it's my art, all I can tell you is that I'm inspired by my love for fields of flowers. Thank you!

Hi Betty! I purchased your bundle from NOVA color; thank you for the suggestion and the grouping! Color theory and choice is challenging. As I watch your videos I see colors that I cannot seem to get!! Espcially your bright baby blue! Do you think that the computer changes the color some? I may be trying to acheive a color out of reach! I'm still trying tints and values to find something similar by using all the pure blues! Any help would be great! LOVE LOVE your work , your tutorials; took your class... it's really sending me on a journey! thanks!

@BettyFranksArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Kate! Thank you so much for purchasing the bundle! I think it all comes down to experimenting with mixing colors. I often can't recreate a color because I dip my brush in many colors (I don't wash out my brush very often). Keep on playing!

I want to try the Nova paints, but with only two 4oz paints in my cart the s&h was around $15! More than the cost of the 2 paints. Trying to bite that bullet bc I love the way they seem to perform for you! Trying to find 'my' brand of acrylic paint!

@BettyFranksArt 2 жыл бұрын

Purchase paints that you can afford. If the shipping is too high, then you're almost better off buying something locally. Did you try adding more paint to the order to see if there was a big jump in the cost?

@@BettyFranksArt I did! I ended up buying 4 colors and the s&h only went up about $1. Now, I'm just impatiently waiting for them to arrive!

Your style of abstract is awesome. I struggle to find my style...so my paintings are thick with layers..in your opinion Betty how many layers becomes to many on canvas

@BettyFranksArt 2 жыл бұрын

I completely understand the struggle to find your style. I went through that struggle for many years. Just keep on creating and, as I like to say, it will eventually find you! How many layers are too many? Well, that depends on the style of art you like to create. Some artists love a lot of texture and others don't. I like something in the middle...not too much, but yet not too little either.
