RE: Small Seascape Painting - The Importance of Sketching and Composition

in #art8 years ago

I'm always taking photos of landscapes for paintings but I am finding that being a landscape artist helps me with composition when editing my photos. The reason I didn't like the first composition is that all the action and weight was on the right side of the painting and so it was totally unbalanced. I have since been incorporating the golden ratio 1:1.618 into my compositions which really helps with positioning focal points and areas of interest.
