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).

Next month I am working with some artists in a local art club who mostly like realistic art and don't like or understand non-objective art. I am going to email them a hand-out on various art movements that deal with the abstract so they can understand that this is definitely NOT "art that is about nothing," as I overheard one of them say! I want them to get an understanding that creating abstract and non -objective art is way over 100 years old or older and that it is a valid and exciting way to create art. I have been looking for a way to have them "play" and be free with an activity that does not take up too much time. Doing an exercise like this will open their sense of play and make them trust their intuition. Thank you so much. I will direct them to view this video at home before our meeting so they will have an idea of how to proceed. You are delightful and your work is too! Keep up the great work, Betty Franks!
Awe...you're super kind, Laura! I hope they like the exercise!
I've enjoyed watching these 10 minute challenges. Thanks Betty.

Love these exercises! I’ve opened my journal, and am going to experiment using your exercise as inspiration. I’ll work quickly, but maybe for 20 minutes so my anxiety doesn’t kick in! 😅
I think 20 minutes is great! Set the time so that you're challenged, but not overwhelmed. Above all, have fun!

I got a bit carried away with a piece yesterday and hugely overworked it so now it’s a hot mess. I’m definitely trying this exercise today with a limited palette to hopefully ground myself and get back to my bigger piece. Thanks for sharing this, definitely helpful and appreciated ❤
You got this! I hope the exercise helps!

Thanks so much, Ana!
Love this. Yes, please do more videos. How do you choose your 3 colors?
Great! I'll create more! I choose by just grabbing colors that speak to me in the moment.
Will I get it done in 10 minutes?. I take for ever my intuitive abstract
Well, it's a great start! I ended up doing a little more to it after the timer went off. I don't expect to create a piece in only 10 minutes, but it certainly helps me warm-up and stay loose. Thanks for watching!
Love it! Thanks!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!

It's almost like watching someone open a present, so full of suspense so see what it will be!
Haha...love that! Thanks for watching, Barbara!
Wonderful exercise!
Glad you liked it! Thank so much for watching!
Dear Betty, I love your Art ❤
You're super sweet! Thank you!
Love it! ❤ Please, do more of these!
You got it! Thanks for the feedback!
Yes please!!! BUT could you make these changes to the 10 minute videos, because we want to display or gift these after we finish them. Prime the surface and let dry before starting. Use Opaque paints only. It’s frustrating to watch the transparent colors perform poorly for this application.
Thank you so much for discussing the Elements of Design that you’ve incorporated. That is SO helpful!
Glad you liked the video! Feel free to make any changes you want to your process. We all have our own way of creating. Enjoy the journey!
Yay! I love it! Great job!
So glad! Thank you!!
Please do more of these! They are wonderful. Haven't done one yet, but will do one today. I didn't catch the first one you did, but will also watch that one today before painting one myself. Really love your work and also wanted you to know that your method of teaching is superb. I have watched many many online art teachers and you are one of the very best. You are organized and detailed in your descriptions, which is so helpful. You also have a soothing manner of speaking which is wonderful. As far as what you painted today, I loved it. The only thing I wanted you to change was, on the orange marks that you wanted to change because they were too close to the orange marks on the left, I would have loved to see what the yellow would have looked like on those marks. Yellow with no other color mixed with it. It is such a beautiful yellow. Anyway, keep doing these, please!
Hi Deborah! Thank you for your super kind words! And I agree...should have added the yellow! Oh well...sometimes it's hard to think when I'm talking and recording at the same time. Glad you're enjoying the videos. Have fun creating!
This was the first 10 minutes exercise I watched and I immediatly tried it myself. I allowed myself a little more time after the alarm went off, because I started totally unprepared - I didn't even have some paint ready, had to choose some tubes while I went. But I can say I loved it. I was very stressed when I started because of a message I had received shortly before and this exercise was a lot better than telling myself to breathe in and breathe out. Doing the exercise myself taught me a lot about the things you are saying about balance of colors, shapes, light and dark. You can hear it and watch someone do it, but seeing where your own piece of work needs balance it makes a lot more sense. I am going to do this more often, maybe even for a couple of days in the #100dayproject I am doing on Instagram.
Hi Marjolein! So glad you enjoyed the exercise! I hope you keep at it!
@@BettyFranksArt I've done several now and I'll definitely come back to the exercise regularly.
@@marjoleinmattaar4772 Fantastic!
Love it ❤❤❤
Thanks so much, Melissa!

So pretty. I love your color choices. I have a hard time with loose painting. I'm a perfectionist. I'm going to try some loose pieces. Have a great weekend.😊
Honestly, it takes practice! I can be a perfectionist, too! This exercise helps me stay loose.

liked the ten minute drawing
Thank you, Debbie! I appreciate you watching!
Maybe those second orangeish marks could be more yellow?
Yes, that would have been a good color! Thanks so much for watching, Meredith!
That's exactly what I thought today as I watched!
Betty, If you were painting on say, a 24 x 24" canvas and using larger brushes and you wanted to limit your time what amount of time would you limit yourself to? .......Just curious. I love working small but I want to work larger, too. I do not want to loose this energy and freshness you seem to get every time you do these 10-minute pieces. What do you advise time wise?
Hi Laura! If I was working on a 24x24, I would set the timer for 30 minutes. You'll get a lot done!
ENERGY,!

Maybe you can turn around this little piece and continue with changes?🙃🙃🙃
Maybe next time! Thanks so much for watching, Christiane!
I just found you yesterday, love it, what is it you use to mix your paints on please or anybody that knows the answer thanks
Welcome to my channel (and my art), Sharon! I'm using a canvas board (that you can paint on) wrapped with 4-mil plastic. you can find the plastic in the paint department at your local hardware store or on amazon: www.bettyfranksart.com/my-favorite-art-supplies I hope that helps!
That what happened to me I feel in love of a flower that appeared and it gave me hell of a problem at the end I just had to eliminate it
Right?! That will happen. It's hard to fall in love with a specific area and then try to finish the painting. It's almost impossible!
The Stabilo product that you used; are they wax crayons? Watercolour pencils? Please let me know. Thank you.
Hi Nancy! The Stabilo Woodys are water soluble. Here's a video about all the mark making tools I like to use: czcams.com/video/Rje8eUbHZ90/video.html
Wonderful exercise, thank you! I found it difficult to see though with the painting such a small part of the screen. For instance, the pencil marks are not at all visible until you bring it up to the camera.
Yes, very true! It's hard to get the camera up really close. Thanks so much for watching!
