In this feedback session on creating strong compositions (inside my course Self-Taught to Self-Confident) we talk about:
(1) A quality tip from an en plein air artist about creating composition
(2) How to use soft marks to layout your composition before you really begin, and
(3) How our mindset around having “crutches” impedes our growth and learning.
It’s your turn: Any great tips, insights, or ahas to share regarding composition with us? Share it in the comments below.
Hi, Carrie. I enjoyed your video on composition today. One thing that I have played around with to transfer from a photo is a proportional divider tool. it really helps to set up some guidelines for placement of objects, lines, and I rather enjoyed the process of connecting the dots.
Great tip Deborah thank you for sharing!
What’s a proportional divider tool . Just a beginner
I never heard of it until recently and I’m not a beginner. (Never feel like not knowing something means you’re behind <3)
I googled it for you: https://www.google.com/search?q=proportional+divider+tool&oq=proportional+divider+tool&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30i625l3.3853j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Hi, Carrie I really like the idea of using my camera’s photos to draw from. This tutorial is very helpful.
I’m so glad it could help Valerie!
