Below, is a painting by Winslow Homer, one of my favorite artists. He was a master of composition.
COMPOSITION
In a work of art, composition is the arrangement of visual elements.
Compositional formula's are guidelines to help you arrange the elements of design to create eye-catching paintings. The following are the most frequently used formats:
1. The L Format
2. The S Curve
3. The Rule Of Thirds
4. The Golden Triangle
5. The Circle Format
6. The Cross Format
7. The Three-Spot Formula
If you learn these compositional formula's and experiment with them enough, you'll find that your intuitive eye will take over and you won't have to consciously think about them as a formula.
To my students: Please feel free to ask me about any of these formats. I'm happy to show you examples. - Jill Saur
