I love every painting you do! Have you ever done anything that was not sellable or you just hated? I can’t imagine that you have! Even watching your videos, it never ends up like I thought it would. I love your work and admire your talent!
You're super kind, Elizabeth! Yes, I have pieces that don't work out. Sometimes I got back into them. Sometimes I just throw them away. No need to have a constant reminder that it didn't work out! 🤣
What a Trooper you are, Betty. This has got to be the most challenging thing an artist can do and you compound that with sharing the entire process with us - Brava! I love the effect of transferring the painted marks onto the surface. It is just the right effect of loose, blurry and enticing the eye. Another terrific painting.
Oh, Betty! This is the first painting I’ve ever seen that I’d swear was a collage until seen up close! I haven’t seen all your work, of course, but so far it’s my favorite!! Love how the layers are visible in places and the splatters are just delightful and add to the joyousness. I think that’s what has stood out to me in your work, which I want most for my own to express-such JOY!
Welcome to my channel and art, Susan! Glad you're here! I, too, love expressing joy through my art. I hope you get a chance to check out my other videos. Have fun creating!
Hello Betty. Its a great experience to watch you create your art piece's. That last painting looked fabulose on the white mantelpiece. Thank you Betty . I love your videos Trish ❤.. Australia
Milá Betty, tak bezprostredne tvoríte. Tieto nové obrazy sú teké krásne. A do veľkého bieleho interiéru bezvadné. Gratulujem vám . Rajem vám veľa zdravia a lásky. Srdečne pozdravujem.😍🤗😊 Susy
Completely enjoy your creations. I came across this one at the right time about creating to sell. I want to start selling and creating. I will continue to follow. I love how your work comes out. Your process and tips are very helpful. I love your studio.
I like Nova paints a lot but I'm not used to the consistency yet. Been using heavy body and these Novas are not that but it's more about loading the right brush. I tend to reach for flat brushes but I am going to try rounds. They may give me a result closer to what I want. I haven't got years of painting experience so experimenting is teaching me a lot! I love the color choices and the way Nova paints mix! I have been sticking with Betty's rule, stay with only warms or cools then alternate so that is the best rule ever! No muddy colors and the colors are gorgeous and so clean!
I'm so glad that the trick about sticking to either warm or cool colors is helpful! As for the paints, if you have been using heavy body, then it will take some getting used to. I agree with you...love how they easily mix together. Keep on creating, playing, and practicing!

Hi Susan! Great question! I used a variety of different sized brushes so that I can have a variety of different sized marks. I don't want all my marks to be the same size. Thanks so much for watching!
I used a variety of different brushes. However, you may be referring to the Escoda or Royal & Langnickel. Here's a link: www.amazon.com/shop/betty.franks.art/list/2NNZG8NPB9V6B?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d I hope that helps!
Hey Betty! Wonderful following your colorful painting process to completion with placement on site! Was the inspo pic a piece that you had also painted?
Thanks so much, Asha! Here's a link to my Amazon shop: www.amazon.com/shop/betty.franks.art You'll find it under Photography and Video Recording. Thank you!
Hi Marian! The squirt bottles (called FIFO and on my favorite art supplies list under Amazon: www.bettyfranksart.com/my-favorite-art-supplies) are so perfect for Nova Color Paints. I don't add any water. Their paints have the perfect consistency for these bottles. Need to buy more of them!
That's frustrating! Sounds like you need to have a spare piece on the side to overwork! When I was working on two large pieces (commission), I off loaded my brush and extra paint onto a canvas. That one turned out awesome!! And it's now living in Canada! Wish all of them worked out like that!
Blue is very difficult to use without bringing down a painting in feeling - it will always depress if not overwhelm the painting unless one goes to a lavender-blue or the aquas or turquoises. Straight blue is a dreary color and tends to be a depressing color. It must be counteracted with a LOT of lime greens, chartreuses, corals and peaches or whites or it will depress an entire painting. Better once lightened here, but still too much of it in this painting, I fear.

I am an artist and you’re right it’s hard to have people in your life that you can talk to about art or share your paintings and I don’t know how to get started with that. Can you give me some ideas please
@patriciasprenger1500 Totally understand! Try going to local art gallery opening. There are usually many artists attending...especially group shows. Also, you can sign up for a local art class. I hope that helps!
Perhaps a strategy is to have 'Commissioners" who have first pick of a series, so you are creating anyway and as their name comes to the top of the list, they get to pick.
In the past, I have used blue tape. However, when I moved my studio and removed the tape, it took off some of the drywall. No fun! So this time I put tape along the edges of my plastic and then used push pins to secure it to the wall. It's much easier to fill tiny holes than fixing drywall!

Thank you Thank you!!! Wonderful
You are so welcome, Nancy! Thanks for being here!
Perhaps you have answered this question many times, but I am wondering about why you use a very small brush on a larger painting? Thank you!
Hi Susan! Great question! I used a variety of different sized brushes so that I can have a variety of different sized marks. I don't want all my marks to be the same size. Thanks so much for watching!
Very pretty!
Thank you! 😊
I like it.
Wonderful! Thanks so much, Janina!
Hi Betty, can you, please, tell what type of brush you are using for this wonderful painting? Thanks a lot!
I used a variety of different brushes. However, you may be referring to the Escoda or Royal & Langnickel. Here's a link: www.amazon.com/shop/betty.franks.art/list/2NNZG8NPB9V6B?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d I hope that helps!
