You’re so wonderful- and giving in the sharing of your process! I have enjoyed it for years and have learned so much from you. You deserve all of the beautiful success that you’re experiencing. ❤
Having once tried a technique somewhat similar to yours, I was immediately convinced by my experience that there is a need for a second canvas in order not to lose the remaining paint. Thank you for the inspiration.
Watched the previous video about how you got started and it was what I needed to hear. I was feeling discouraged and frustrated. Thank you Betty, I will keep going! ❤
I love hearing that, Phil! Thank you so much!! Funny story: I was uploading a picture to a word document and there was a description at the bottom of the photo. It had descriptive words like art, contemporary art, etc. And the last words were "child art" and I thought, I have arrived!! Yay!
Beautiful video. I love your flowing painting style that is intuitive and fun. The three pieces video helped me so much in how I am thinking of my workshops. Thank you Betty!
Betty, I am so in awe of your amazing talent! Thank you for sharing and teaching as you paint! I kept changing my mind through your process as to which one was my favorite, that changed several times through the whole video!!! Still not sure which is my favorite!
Betty, you are so talented! Thank you so much for this and all your videos. I paint in oil & I still find so much great information and encouragement from you.
I'm still in the middle of watching this video but two things really stand out to me. Firstly it's so enjoyable and relaxing watching the work evolve and secondly it's so inspiring listening to you explaining your thought processes. I've watched quite a few of your videos and never tire of your positivity ....it's so helpful and encouraging when you also mention your challenges and how you overcome them. Thank you so much for sharing and actually there are of course more than two things! So I'll add that I agree with you on how it really helps when working on several paintings in conjunction because I have done that too. Also I love the final showing when you do the close ups. ❤
You are super kind, Joan! I so appreciate what you wrote about my videos and how much you enjoy them. That's why I create them! Glad to hear that you've already been working on multiple pieces!
I am enjoying watching your videos. You are a wonderful artist and I am learning so much from you. You strike me as a kind and generous person. Thank you for all you give.
I have not thought of creating multiple paintings at one time…it really works for intuitive abstracts, for me. Thank you so much for the demonstration 19:3119:33 of this great creative style. ❤
I love your work when I have time at I love listening to your UA-cam channel. I’ve learned a lot and I’ve done a similar abstract painting and I was able to sell it so I was quite happy. Keep teaching I love watching.
Betty, I love the freedom you show in your process and your colorful art. I’m slowly gravitating toward abstracts and have picked up some great tips to be more expressive. Thank you! I love your art.
This was a fantastic tutorial. I appreciate everything you shared and like others have commented… my big focus is tossing “perfectionism” out the window! All 3 pieces are lovely ❤🌺💕🌼🧡
I learn so much from watching you create your beautiful art. My art is very different but your process has so much that transfers over to what I try to do.
I love your art making, Betty. I am impressed with how you keep going and paint over and over. I also want to do that, but I never manage more than a couple layers before I finish.
If you're happy with the way you create, then there's no need to continue adding layers. But, if you want to, try experimenting on a piece to see how it feels. Above all, have fun!
I took your advice and worked on two paintings at once today. I've posted them on your Facebook page. I think I will ALWAYS work like this, because my decision making was far easier and quicker. Also, I tend to sometimes obsess over the detail in certain parts and this helped lessen that obsessing! Thank you again for your incredible teaching.
This video helped me finish or create 5 small pieces on mixed media art paper last night. I played your video on repeat for 3 hours & vibed out! Thank you 🙏🏽 ✌🏾 🖤
Oh Wow! That's a lot of Betty in your ear! 😍 Glad I was able to help you get through those pieces of art. Thanks so much for listening on repeat, Mimi!!
Great work! Great advice! Thanks for sharing your process and challenge with that special order. A very nice idea, it makes a great magazine cover! Your paintings are stunning, I like your way of working, I would like to LEARN more about it!

Betty - I have watched this video twice and loved it each time! Thank you for your inspiration! I LOVE bright colors, circles, and lots of crazy marks, but I “overthink” about it, worrying what others will think. I love my art, but the people pleasing in me seems to keep me worrying about what others think. Any help on stopping the crazy, negative thinking when it comes to our art? Thank you! Again - LOVE your art and loved your class!
I totally understand the people pleasing thing. A couple of things might help. 1) Create, but don't share. Just create for yourself. 2) Listen to podcasts/audiobooks while creating. For me, it helps turn down the volume of the negative self talk. Hope that helps. Keep on creating, Leslie!
I’m getting back into painting. Your video timing is great. My husband was just saying to me that I should work on more than one piece at a time. I’ve been stuck on the painting I started to rework a few days ago. Thx for your tips. Love your work!
I just love your creativity. I am going to go thru my stuff n see if I have any watercolor paper. I have been working on canvases but my muscle disease makes that hard but I might be able to paint on paper… I guess I shall see. Thanks for sharing this and getting me inspired. ❤
New subscriber here! I love the colours you have used Betty. All three paintings turned out successfully! I love expressive abstract art and try to paint/draw something abstract every day!😊
Beautiful pieces! I wonder why they ask you to knock it back for the text. ??? That is something they could easily do digitally when they layout their cover.
Thank you, Betty, for your wonderful videos. I wonder if you might explain in some detail or show in a video how you get your drips to run down in many streaks. When I try I get two or three “fat” streaks and I can’t determine what I’m doing wrong. Thanks so much for your willingness to teach and share.
If you're using a spray bottle, spray really close to the paint. If you're using a brush, add water to it. I hope that helps. It takes some practice to get the drips just right!
How do you treat the finished surface? Stabilo and China marker can be erased, how prevent smudging when painting is done? Thank you, good video, helpful
Hi Susan! I'm using Bristol paper and Nova Color Paints. Links: www.bettyfranksart.com/my-favorite-art-supplies www.bettyfranksart.com/favorite-nova-color-paints Here's the link to my online course: bettyfranksart.thinkific.com/courses/fields-of-flowers-an-abstract-art-painting-course Thank you for asking!
Hi Jemma! I'm mostly looking for the elements of design. For example, do I have a variety of marks or values? I have a guide that may help you: www.bettyfranksart.com/guide-to-enhancing-your-abstract-art
Hi Catherine! In this video, I'm working on Bristol Paper. Here's the link to my favorite art supplies: www.bettyfranksart.com/my-favorite-art-supplies Thanks for asking! 🩷
I’m impressed that the paper didn’t buckle at all. I’m sure you knew it had good performance and it’s why you picked it. But I didn’t know Bristol would stand up to acrylic THAT well. I usually stick to canvas paper when I’m not using a canvas, but this might be a good alternative too. Do you know what the weight is??
And oh my gosh yes, overcoming perfectionism is so hard! A few months ago I was on a mission to challenge myself to work faster, have a practice (not masterpiece) mindset, and not attempt to be perfect. It worked for a bit but I quickly found myself reverting back and getting more nit picky and lost in the details again 😭
I love working on Bristol paper! You can find it on my favorite art supply list: www.bettyfranksart.com/my-favorite-art-supplies I'm not sure what part of the world you're in. If it's an area that has a lot of humidity, paper may not hold up well. Try it out! Overcoming perfectionism is an ongoing struggle for me! Try working faster for only a short period of time. Set a timer for 10 (or 20 or...) minutes and see how much you can get done without over-thinking. Then go back to slowing down. Have fun creating, Jane!
Hey Betty, how did they manage to choose from the three? I loved them all equally! Never mind having to be lighter in certain areas to allow for their black text. The end result is very uplifting and cheery. This is actually the content I needed to see today, because I really need to get creating and have been thinking about doing magazine covers for some time. What gear do you use for filming overhead process videos, please? 💖

Hi Patricia! Here's the link to my online course: bettyfranksart.thinkific.com/courses/fields-of-flowers-an-abstract-art-painting-course Hope to see you in the course! 🥰
Hello again... I am enjoying this video... And I see that you have a glass pallet, but that you have put white paint on it or something... Is that so that you can clearly see the colors? The white color on your piece of glass acrylic paint? Is this done so that at some point you can scrape the whole thing off reuse the piece of glass? Questions questions!
It's not a glass palette. It's a canvas board wrapped with 4 mil plastic (that's why it's white). I have several of these to use when I'm working small. Thanks for watching!
Hi Nola! You can use oil pastels for scribbles (or any way). I personally don't like to use them because they never dry. I'm impatient and can't wait for the oil pastels to dry. Plus, I can't use water-based varnish over oil. I usually recommend that the artwork is matted and framed. The matting will keep the art from sticking to the glass. I hope that info helps!
Im currently working on a very large piece but struggling to make it cohesive mainly for that reason, my biggest struggle is with the color choices. Do you have any advice?
I hear ya! Sometimes I put out way too many colors. That's when I realize I need to limit my colors. That usually helps. And, seems like adding a neutral color and white (think values) always pulls it together. Good luck to you!
❤ Still waiting for the video on how you frame these. Do you think your process would work on all neutral colors, or do you think your “style” would not be the same?
Hi Sherrie! I haven't had the opportunity (or need) to frame any pieces lately. When I do (which will be a while), I'll create a video of my process. Thank you for asking! I have created using mostly neutrals in the past (not very often). It doesn't translate as well. After giving it a try, I realized that I much prefer my brighter colors.
I have a question. I often hearI people say that their painting is overworked. Can u please explain what that means exactly? Does it mean you had something good and u ruined it? O r does it mean it’s too detailed and can u univerwork a painting? Can u do a video abt this and like how you know to stopi
Good question! I believe that it's something that each artist goes through and learns on their own what they consider overworked. I've had many folks comment that I should have stopped sooner. However, at that stage of the painting, it's just not "me". Yes, I could stop, but I don't LOVE it yet. Each artists figures out through practice when they're done and when they're gone a little too far and overworked the painting. I hope that helps!
Good question! I don't! I was once told that you SHOULD rotate your paintings. I tried that and it doesn't work for me! I have found over the years that I prefer the portrait mode (verses landscape). Because of that, I have a hard time with landscape mode paintings. I need more practice!
You’re so wonderful- and giving in the sharing of your process! I have enjoyed it for years and have learned so much from you. You deserve all of the beautiful success that you’re experiencing. ❤
Many thanks for your kindness, Amy! Thank YOU for following my art adventures for so many years!
What fun watching - you inspired me and brightened my day!
Thank you for watching!
They all look BEAUTIFUL Betty, I LOVE them. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!

Love watching you doing three at a time. ❤
So fun, right?! I hope you'll be giving it a try, Angelia!
Thank you for your comments about perfectionism and learning. They came at just the right time! ❤
Yay! Glad my timing was good! Hope it's helpful to your art practice!
Watched the previous video about how you got started and it was what I needed to hear. I was feeling discouraged and frustrated. Thank you Betty, I will keep going! ❤
I enjoy your work so much, so individualistic and soothing to the artistic sense.
Thank you!
I have watched your videos since I decided to start making art, and although my art is so different from yours, I really enjoy watching you paint.
So cool! Thank you for watching my videos, Jason! Keep on creating!
So happy to see this video this morning. Hope your summer is shaping up to be full of glorious, creative times. You are very much appreciated, Betty.
Thank you so much, Ann! I'm heading to Croatia again this Sunday. Can't wait to create while I'm there!
I was taught in high school that anything worth doing is worth doing imperfectly. You have mastered the concept beautifully. ❤
I love hearing that, Phil! Thank you so much!! Funny story: I was uploading a picture to a word document and there was a description at the bottom of the photo. It had descriptive words like art, contemporary art, etc. And the last words were "child art" and I thought, I have arrived!! Yay!

Loved this video, great to hear your thoughts about this, and the fact that you don’t always work on canvas is brillant❤

Came out beautiful as always. ❤ all 3, hard to pick only 1 😂.
I totally understand! I love them all! Thanks so much for watching!
Also at the very end when you show your artwork up close - that was wonderful it’s such a difference seen it far away and close up!
Glad you like the close up part of the video. It's really hard to see some of that yumminess from a distance!
I am enjoying watching your videos. You are a wonderful artist and I am learning so much from you. You strike me as a kind and generous person. Thank you for all you give.

Thank you for asking! 💗
❤ Still waiting for the video on how you frame these. Do you think your process would work on all neutral colors, or do you think your “style” would not be the same?
Hi Sherrie! I haven't had the opportunity (or need) to frame any pieces lately. When I do (which will be a while), I'll create a video of my process. Thank you for asking!
I have created using mostly neutrals in the past (not very often). It doesn't translate as well. After giving it a try, I realized that I much prefer my brighter colors.
I have a question. I often hearI people say that their painting is overworked. Can u please explain what that means exactly? Does it mean you had something good and u ruined it? O r does it mean it’s too detailed and can u univerwork a painting? Can u do a video abt this and like how you know to stopi
Good question! I believe that it's something that each artist goes through and learns on their own what they consider overworked. I've had many folks comment that I should have stopped sooner. However, at that stage of the painting, it's just not "me". Yes, I could stop, but I don't LOVE it yet.
Each artists figures out through practice when they're done and when they're gone a little too far and overworked the painting.
I hope that helps!
Do you ever change the orientation of your boards?
Good question! I don't! I was once told that you SHOULD rotate your paintings. I tried that and it doesn't work for me!
I have found over the years that I prefer the portrait mode (verses landscape). Because of that, I have a hard time with landscape mode paintings. I need more practice!
