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 have tried to immerse myself in Instagram. It’s a great platform, but I am continually compelled to go back to Pinterest and CZcams for some reason. So, I’m actually really happy that you’ve decided to invest your time adding more of your inspiring content to my two favorites! Thank you!
YES!! I hear you! I find CZcams and Pinterest more relaxing!
@@BettyFranksArtand the platform that has the most traffic out of all of them now is Tic tock , according to the ad gurus. Can I ask please what do you seal all the different movable media? Graphite, Woodies and greasy pencils can rub off if not sealed, I have found. I like the one on the right. Thanks for sharing.
Yes thank you! I only have time for one platform, and CZcams is it for me! ❤❤
energy 💥! (I didn't see a link) I bought the "Betty's Bundle" about a year ago and still have plenty left. They really do go a long way, if we're not painting wall size canvases, like some people --haha. I started the big course a couple months ago (where was the 20 percent off back then? - LOL). The first time thru I just watched it. Now I am running thru the 2nd time, painting along, and having a great time. But I do still like watching your CZcams videos as well. I must be a Betty Franks addict. 😵💫 But I'm not looking for a BF-Anon channel (yet). I love how you talk about your process and find that I relate to a lot of what you say. It helps. I guess I like the way you talk, and your pleasant voice, too. 😘
So glad you're here, Julia! And that you're enjoying all the videos I'm creating. The feedback means a lot to me!
I agree with you about the paints. If you paint small, they last a very long time!
Thank you for being here!
It's always so exciting to see you mix colors. Love it!
Awe...thanks! Love mixing my colors!
I love the thick sides of panels ❤my favorite! Thank you so much for posting on CZcams 😊 and for sharing your beautiful art! 🥰
The sides are the painting are so much fun to create! Glad you like them as much as I do. Thank for here, Noni!
I just love the one on the right
Thanks so much, Rebecca! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
I love finding new texture makers, like bubble wrap, ink rollers, hair dye brushes :>
Yes! Those are all great ways to add texture!
Can't wait to LEARN with ENERGY. Love everything you do.

Thank you for more CZcams videos. Always very welcome ❤ 🇦🇺
Thanks so much, Deborah!
Thanks for allowing me to watch you think through your art of abstraction. I've been on a continuous exploration within the art world, and feel truly drawn into intuitive abstract art. Now off to experiment, practice and play with what I've learned through your creativity.
You're the best, Dawn! THANK YOU so much for supporting my videos! It really means a lot to me!
Love all your works Betty from Large Masterpieces to Little Jeweled Gems❤😂🎉
You're very sweet, Wendy! Thank you!
Energy. I really appreciate your ideas you share along with your videos ! I think you're an amazing artist. Thank you so much showing us your work and watching lets me clear my mind.
You're super kind, Lisa! Here's the link to the free guide: www.bettyfranksart.com/guide-to-enhancing-your-abstract-art I hope it helps your creative process! 💚
Have so much to do today since I’m going out of town and I can’t stop watching this! You are so good. I love how you keep your colors clean
Step away, Shelly! I hope that by the time you read this, you're well on your way on your trip! I'll be here for you when you return! Safe travels!
I'm just starting to find the flow again, after converting my whole living room to my studio. I start with wet charcoal and I think prefer that whole first bit in different kinds of black charcoal, pencils, pens, then the black (or Payne's grey) paint in the first layer. What got the brush in my hand almost every day was starting a visual migraine journal, which is getting me a show in my town. You've been very inspiring, I use your bundle, and have already had to replace some colors even though I work quite small, about 6" square.
I'm super happy for you, Robin! Congratulations on your show!
I like both paintings. My favorite painting is the painting on the right.
Fantastic! I love that one, too--especially the black area in the top corner. Thanks for being here, Nikia!
I enjoy your playful approach to painting! I also listen to your videos while I paint. It feels like having a painting companion.
Awe...I love that! So glad we can paint together, Holly!

So sweet these two.Love them both❤️🩷
Thanks so much, Erika! I appreciate you being here!
Thank you, Betty. Your video tutorials are the best out there. I feel your process can be adapted to any style and concept. I had fun using it to express my view of an urban setting - buildings and streets. Perhaps a school art program would be interested in purchasing your videos? I don't know what intellectual rights come into play but your teaching is superb.
You are super kind, Ann! I'm so glad you like my teaching style. I love sharing what I do! Thank you!!
I love these SOOO much! ❤🎉
You're sweet! Thanks, JoJo!

So fun to watch!!
So glad you enjoyed it, Charlene! Thanks for being here!
I like to paint "while I'm still dreaming" while I'm waiting for the coffee to brew; when I'm not quite awake enough to be critical. I also like to layer my work, sometimes with just paint, or with other things--like tissue paper, bits of material or paper. I once scrubbed a canvas clean when I didn't love the painting, and discovered that I liked what was left behind (all of the paint did not scrub off) I will also sometimes sand the paint with a fine paper, to reveal what's under that color.
I just love how you play and experiment! It's it fun to cover up, yet still see some of it's previous life? And sandpaper....so cool!! Thanks for sharing that with me, Christine!
I really like the black gesso and the depth it creates.
Love it, too! Thanks so much, Erika!
Energy - I LOVE YOUR ART & PROCESS!
Thanks, Cindy! Here's the link to the free guide: www.bettyfranksart.com/guide-to-enhancing-your-abstract-art I hope it helps your creative process! 💚
You are always so good to listen to….it feels like I’m listening to a friend! Thank you, you send out very positive vibes…..
Awe...I love hearing that, Joan! Thank you for being here!
Beautiful creation 🥰👍
Thank you so much, Leanne!
Thanks love your work!
You are so kind! Thank you for watching!
So enamoured with your free use of colour and values. And I’m inspired by your modeled processes! Still learning how to play with abstract and get out of my perfectionist ways. You’re truly inspiring, Betty!
Getting out of our own way is the hard part! Keep on creating and thanks so much for being here!
yes it is all about layers..I also find its about taking several steps away from the piece and just looking at it for a while until it comes to you what to do next or what color to use etc..part of the process
Yes! It's all part of the process. I love taking a photo and looking at it when I'm away from the studio. It seems to help me immediately identify what I need to do next. So fun!
thats a great idea - gives you time to meditate on it -
I sometimes hang the painting on the wall in the house so I see it everyday - it may take a day or week but I see it everyday and then it comes to me what needs ot be done next
@@user-nd1yg3mh8n Great idea!!
Thank you Betty, I love your work. I need to get back and resume my course. You've inspired me to keep going with it. I changed my style for a few months. ❤😊
Hi Elizabeth! I'd love to have you back in the course! Keep on creating!
I am just discovering you and your art. I love it all and I really love your process and how you mix your colors!
Thank you so much!

I really can’t say one is my favorite over the other, I absolutely LOVE both!! So appreciate your time to You Tube, thank you! I’m still trying to figure out my process and feel like sometimes if not most times it’s all too tight and contrived! I am constantly trying to be relaxed and loose and remember to have all the elements, tones, hues, ect ect ect!! Whew!
Right?! It's a lot to remember and to do! You got this, Cary! It just takes practice.

favorite,, hmmmmm I think i like the one on the right, I love the black at the top and the gray coming in on the side. My eye travels from the bottom left to the top right.
Wow, thank you! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Fantastic! I love the black on that one, too!
Just beautiful... I love your process... and the variety of marks within the layers... So so beautiful!

You're amazing!!!!! What a lovely way to express color......vibrant and expressive!
