Thank you for stopping by! In this video, I'm creating on 12x12x2" wood panel.
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).

Your channel was recommended by Alison Darwant. I have been a Folk Art painter for almost 30 years and recently started playing with watercolor, pastels and markers. I just started watching a few of your videos - and I must admit rather naively - that I don't quite understand abstract art. I am trying it - but I don't understand it. Perhaps as I continue it will make sense. Your art is beautiful - the colours and textures and marks. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

@BettyFranksArt 5 месяцев назад

Welcome, Anne! So glad you're here! I was like you...I didn't get (nor did I like) abstract art. But then I realized that I didn't like any of the abstract art I was seeing. It wasn't until I came across abstract art that drew me in that I realized I was really liking it! What I have learned is that abstract art is not just what you see. It's what you feel when you see it. And, as an artist, I'm not just creating art for you to see, but for you to feel. I often get comments of how happy and joyous my art makes them feel. That's what I'm going for. However, as an abstract artist, you will need to find your voice. Meaning, what are you trying to express? It can be as simple as, in my example, a love for flowers. Or it can be very complex that has a deep meaning. Honestly, I'm not that deep! I just love how flowers make me feel and I create art that expresses those feelings. I hope this helps a little. Please continue to explore and learn from as many as you can. You'll find that you connect to some art (and artists) more than others. Then explore why that is. It will help you get closer to how you can share your vision (in an abstract way). Thanks for being here!! Keep on creating!!

@artiste335 5 месяцев назад

Check out Jodi Ohl, another wonderful abstract painter. I agree with Betty. Abstract art is something that you FEEL. The more exposure you have to it the more you will get it.

“Every mark informs the next….” That is fantastic information. It does explain what is happening when a painting isn’t working!

@BettyFranksArt 4 месяца назад

Right?! And it explains what is happening when a painting is working! Not just every mark, but every color we put down informs the next. It's a fun dance!

@claudiabauman3486 4 месяца назад

It’s very true that painting is like solving a puzzle. Until I started painting I didn’t know that the ugly phase is part of the process. I also like to paint intuitively and I find that it’s like you’re being led through a maze. And you take some wrong turns but if you keep you will find the way!

@saracstudios5034 2 года назад

Love your style and all the great tips you give us! Question: Any tips on keeping the marks "loose" and not so structured or defined. I love the raggedy edges your marks have. Mine always seem to be not so abstract. Maybe I need to retrain my muscle memory to not be so literal when making shapes. That is tough!! Maybe I need a lighter touch?

@BettyFranksArt 2 года назад

I understand! I see that happen often in my workshops by students who are just learning. I like to keep a light touch and also a dry brush (very little paint). That allows me to soften the edges. It took me years of practice. Keep at it!

Hi Betty! Thank you for this video. Your art is gorgeous. I noticed the Nova Color paints are not very lightfast. Do you spray your finished art with something to keep it from fading? Thanks.

@BettyFranksArt 5 месяцев назад

Hi Gracie! Glad you liked the video! What makes you think they are not lightfast? Nova Color was originally mainly used by muralists (and still is). It withstands all kinds of outdoor conditions. However, with that being said, I prefer to protect all my artwork, mainly because I use pencils and crayons on my final layer (and on other layers). Here's a video on how I protect my artwork: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bVACgRad2Qk.html Thanks so much for being here!

Hi Betty. Thanks for answering my question. I assumed they aren't lightfast because they had a lightfast number of 1. Thanks for the link to the video. @@BettyFranksArt

@gracievandiver3728 Thanks for sharing that, Gracie! Use this link and scroll to the very bottom where it says "Lightfastness Info". You'll see that 1 is Excellent. novacolorpaint.com/collections

Good morning, Betty. Hmm, I wonder if Nova Colours are available in 🇨🇦

@BettyFranksArt Год назад

I think you're asking if they're available in Canada, correct? You can't purchase them in Canada because Nova Color Paints doesn't use distributors for their products. Everything is sold directly by them (that's why the cost is lower). However, they ship to Canada. Just be aware that the cost of shipping will be high and you may be paying duty fees, too.

I am working on a large canvas and I’m at the point where I need to start putting in some smaller elements a little bit hard for me to do

@BettyFranksArt 10 месяцев назад

It takes practice, Patricia. Don't be afraid. Jump in there and start adding marks in various sizes. You can do it!

@amysandler3448 2 года назад

Do you have a preference of painting surfaces...wood panels vs. canvas vs. mixed media paper?

@BettyFranksArt 2 года назад

My first love is for paper (so much freedom), next is wood, and then canvas. Thanks for asking, Amy!

@amysandler3448 2 года назад

@@BettyFranksArt Thank you so much for replying. I had a feeling you preferred paper and it looks so nice framed. I haven't tried cradled wood panels yet, but would like to do so. Is there anything to know about the wood that is different than canvas or paper? Do you have to put more layers of gesso on it first? Do you ever have problems with cracks or splitting of the wood? Thank you so much for your replies and your generosity with your teaching! You have such a great talent for art and teaching!
