Thank you so much for sharing and actually there are of course more than two things!

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.

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!

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!

@BettyFranksArt

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!

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!

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.

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’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??

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!

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!
