Planning your art composition before you paint<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • How taking time on the initial planning can be the difference between a successful piece and an unsuccessful piece<\/li>\n
  • Taking time to plan, can save you time in the long run<\/li>\n
  • Asking the opinions of others if you are unsure<\/li>\n
  • If it\u2019s a still life, try arranging and rearranging your initial set-up and photographing in lots of different ways<\/li>\n
  • Take photos and use a grid to determine your focal points<\/li>\n
  • Crop your photo in various ways to see what works best<\/li>\n
  • Draw thumbnail sketches<\/li>\n
  • Look for an overall shape that flows<\/li>\n
  • Aim for various angles and not too many of one<\/li>\n
  • Sometimes offsetting something so it\u2019s on a third can help<\/li>\n
  • Tara talks about the commission she did where sherealised that not having an initial sketch in this particular painting, had her having to do it three times<\/li>\n
  • Sandra talk about the aha moment when they had our chat, that there were too many verticals and they needed breaking up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
