- Here's my process for starting most of my paintings. I build up the background firs with a few layers before I work on final layer. These first few layers add a lot of depth and interest to the finished piece.

Your art sings to my heart! Finally found someone who shows it in a way that I can understand. Thank you Betty!
Betty, the only word that I can think of is awesome, even though it's one of the most used adjectives. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing your gift and God keep you in the palms of His hands. Amen.
This is my favorite video. I've watched it many times. I think I'm ready to give it a try today! Thx! I love your work.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing!
Loved the process and of course the painting!
Whup, found an old one! Wish I could see what you ended up with here and how much different your art is now compared with then. Isn't it fun to look back - it's the best way to celebrate how far you've come, after all :)
Yes, definitely an oldie! I keep these videos on my channel because they remind me how far I have traveled on my art journey!
Thank you for your tremendous generosity of spirit! I don’t get to travel to art workshops; however, through watching
Your videos I have gained so much from observing your process. Very few artists are as encouraging and willing to share techniques and tips as you are and it is truly inspiring.
Thanks, Jill! I'm glad you liked the video!
i love the spur-of-the-moment feels of intuitive painting. It frees the mind of any cares and allows you to experiment with whatever. I love watching people do it. But for some reason, I'm scared to try it myself.
Go for it! You can do it!!
It's hard because I can do it intuitively but I can't pull it all together at the end so I'm good at the crazy teenager stage as Flora would say but I'm not good at pulling it together although I don't have 28 years experience that she does plus a ba in Fine Arts
You are so creative! Beautiful and inspiring work! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you kindly!
I really love this , what I love most is how inspiring it has been to me, I have been really depressed and wanting to get back into my studio - and this did it!!! I am so motivated and I get wait to get off work today and go play!!! Thank you so much
That's awesome, Tracy! I'm so happy it has helped inspire you to get creative again....which is a wonderful way to uplift our creative souls! Hugs to you!
Tracy, painting was one tool that I used during a major depressive episode. My son dragged me.to Michaels LOL, and we loaded up with beginner canvases etc. It was such a help. I'm still painting. Tried many techniques and I love Betty as well!
Happy Healing Tracy!!!
Love it! Thanks for video
Very cool that you're showing us which techniques you use to make your art. The music was not too bad either :)
It’s beautiful again. Wow!!!
Thank you so much, Joane!
As a returning artist ...due to having to leave work after illness....I have rediscovered my passion and use art as therapy ...I have been experimenting with fluid acrylics mainly inspired by Priscilla Batzell but now I've found you I am studying how you work and am truly inspired to use these techniques along with my fluid art ....I unwittingly have a few times ...love everything you do x
So happy you found your passion for art again! I'm excited for you! Thank you for watching my videos!
I.m working through them all as we speak lol
Love your style!... I’m hooked watching you! Thanks!!
Wow, thank you! Glad you liked it, Marilyn!
You inspire me.
Thank you for sharing.
Pauline Caffrey You are super sweet, Pauline! Thanks!
So cool. I have been trying some of your techniques. I love them so much. Thank you for your help.
You are so welcome, Connie! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Lovely and so relaxing to watch👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Glad you enjoyed it, Femina! Thank you for watching!
Love watching you work,you make it look easy,I know it's not.
The Flora Bowley way! Love it...
Miranda Schmitz It's kindda the start of the Flora way, but then I do my own thing after that. Although, I love her art! :-) Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video!! :D this is currently my ALL time favourite art video!!
Lovely work
Excellent wall ornaments.
This morning I am feeling so grateful to have come across your work. I know this video is a bit older but it tells me so much about how you have progressed in your approach and your preferences. Still I love this one! What a great way to loosen up and just be crazy creative! Using the two canvases and alternating between cool and warm must really taking the mind away from linear thinking! And in the end you have a pair that really speak to each other or work well on their own!
Glad it was helpful, Phil! Thank you so much for watching!
Fabulous...Betty!!💜
Many thanks, Denise!
So so cool!!!!
Thank you!
very cool, interested in seeing how finished piece looks.'
Thank you! I created this one sooooo many years ago. I don't know which piece was the final. Thanks for watching!
thank u great video
Pretty stuff but I prefer the other type of paintings you do. The ones where you blend the whole canvas. Example: the ones you put on fb. With the white flower... I love those!!!!!
Sweetheart a wonderful learning experience
Thank you, Mary! Glad you liked it!
Great Video! Subscribed 🙂
Awesome, thank you!
So do we get to see the next stages. Looking this so far ... Would love to see where it goes.
Tina Beaumont Hi Tina! I did not record all my steps. :-) I'll be posting the final picture soon on my FB page: facebook.com/MysticTulipMixedMedia. Thanks for watching!
I love this, thanks...so, do I understand correctly that this is your process before you begin the painting or is this all but the finished layer?
+Artsy Fartsy This is how I started the painting. It's just the first couple of layers.
Thanks! I love it.
You have to be brave and just go for it, hope I am up to it! Please how did you paint that gorgeous blue and red picture hanging on your wall. Please can we see a video on how you did it, pretty please. x
Kathy Gledsdale Hi Kathy! Sorry about the late response! The canvas hanging in the background has many layers and started as one painting and then took a big uturn! :-) I don't have a tutorial on it because it was experimental for me. The good news is that I have someone coming to look at it on Saturday. Hopefully it will go to a new home very soon!
Betty Franks Krause, Mystic Tulip Art Good luck, they are very lucky to be having it on their wall xx

Thank you for watching, Mary!
Awesome ... It so much fun to watch your Videos! But where do you get all this beautyful stencils? I can not find this in Germany 😔
Hi Kas, I'm not sure where you can find these stencils in Europe. Sorry, wish I could help you! Thank you for watching the video!
I have to remember to stop and let it dry, and come back to it.. Betty, why do you think drips are so attractive to some abstract artists and fans alike?? They are,, it just made me wonder.. Thank you for inspiring intuition
I think there's no control over drips...they run their own course for the most part. That's what I love about them. Thank you for watching, Alaysia!
@@BettyFranksArt thank you for sharing your joy!!
very nice
Te amo💓
Thank you for your great video and generosity, can I ask where you get your stencils from, Especially the large tear drop one? Thank you
Hi Suzanne! So glad you liked the video! I got rid of all my stencils (and mixed media supplies) more than 3 years ago. Unfortunately, I don't recall where I got the tear drop stencil. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing.Do you make your own spray bottles? I see how you have changed your process in your more recent videos.
Hi Michele, thanks for watching! I just add water to my spray bottle. I also keep a second spray bottle on hand with rubbing alcohol in it. Yes, this video was from several years ago when I was just getting started. I have grown a lot over the years.
Betty, when you say “background,” do you mean that then you would continue painting on top of this like usual? Just love these.
Hi Valerie! Yes, this was just the first layers. This video was created many years ago, but the one thing in common is that I still create lots of layers in my paintings!
I never close my lids either!
Betty Krause I am somewhat new to this and want to learn more. I started painting recently when I started taking care of my mother who was diagnosed with dementia... I love your technique! can you tell me what kind of paint you are using when you spray with the water and also in the small water bottle for the letters? When I tried it the paint would not run and when I used the water bottle it became clogged!
Hi Nory, I'm sorry to hear that about your mom. My mom also has dementia. It's not easy. I am using fluid acrylics from Golden and Liquitex in this video. I add lots of paint so that when I spray it with a water bottle, it will run and the color will still be there. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
NG0915 - I think the problem you're having with the small spray bottle is because of too much paint. Be sure to use quite a bit more water than paint--you don't need much paint in the spray bottle, especially because you're using fluid acrylic black paint. You just have to experiment a bit to find the right ratio of water to paint.
You can also use Golden "high flow" paint (it's more like airbrush paint, which can be sprayed through atomizers and other tools without adding any water). And there are a variety of brands of acrylic airbrush paint brands you could use instead.
You could also use Marabu spray paints because they are acrylic paints and will be permanent on your canvas when dry, and they come in spray bottles and many different colors--again, no need to add water. (Be careful not to choose dye-based sprays, though, because they will not be permanent when dry--stick to acrylic paint.)
you probably want to try just water in the spray bottle.
what kind of spray bottles do you buy. Mine always just spray out into a big mess.
Cindy Zoglmann Hi Cindy, mine has an adjustable nozzle. I just adjust it until it's just right. play around with it to find what works best for you.
NICE
Beautiful, did you gesso your canvases first?
Hi Sherry! I didn't gesso the canvas because I purchased it pre-gessoed. Thanks so much for watching!
I can see now how important having an individual process is. May I ask how you prep your canvasses, if at all, prior to starting?
Thank you for watching! I purchase pre-gessoed canvases, so I can start painting right away.
💗👍👀
Thank you, Raye!
Beautiful art. What kind of spray paint are you using? Is it acrylic archival? Thank you.
Thanks, Betty! I'm actually using a small spray bottle filled with acrylic paint and water. Thanks so much for watching!
Love the technique. However I thought there would be one more layer on top .. of course that’s what I would want my finished version to be ..
Hi Keeny, this is only my first layer of how I start a painting. There were many more layers that followed. Thanks for watching!
@@BettyFranksArt Is there a video about the final layers?
Omg i know exactly what you are doing! Lol are you going off prompts in Brave Intuitive Painting by chance? I did that and my painting turned out almost just like this one
You know, I created this many years ago. I don't recall doing those types of prompts (I always hated prompts!). This was just the underlayer for a painting. Thanks for watching!
@@BettyFranksArt I apologize if I assumed that. I just have a canvas that I made that looks a lot like yours because of some prompts that I did and I was really excited to see it and thinking that it may have been from doing the same thing , but now I can see how my words could have been taken offensively or just awkwardly . so I apologize how that may have come across! your artwork is beautiful
What are the products that you used? I didn't see them listed
was just about to ask the same :)
was just about to ask the same :)
+Free Spiritz Art I used acrylics paints, stencils and watered down acrylic paint in my spray bottle for stenciling. My other spray bottle just has water in it.
+kahlo I used acrylics paints, stencils and watered down acrylic paint in my
spray bottle for stenciling. My other spray bottle just has water in
it.
What's in the spray bottle?
+Free Spiritz Art I'm using water in the spray bottle. And for my stencils, I use watered down acrylic paint.
Awesome. Can you please mention the materials used here please. Thanks
Unfortunately, I created this back in 2015. I have no idea what I used at the time. Thanks so much for watching, Jayashree!
@@BettyFranksArt ok. No probs
Will you do another coat?
I created that one about 5 years ago. That was just the first layer. Thanks for watching!
Did you get lessons and how you get your inspiration
Hi Joelle, when I recorded this video many years ago, I was just starting to explore painting. I took some workshops with a few of my favorite artists and spent a lot of time exploring and playing. Thanks so watching!
@@BettyFranksArt thanks where can I see your paintings ?
