A quick video taking you through some composition basics. For full length tutorials on painting in pastel visit my Patreon channel at www.patreon.com/emmacolbertart.
Thank you for the video. I have reslised that I like very natural painting, I am not so into mathematically perfect measures/lines because it reminds me of computerised works. Instead, I like to measure the proportions with objects. Thats how i was taught before and I still love it. Nice video and colors.
Thank you! I too don't do a lot of measuring, most of it is by eye. But when I look back at my work I am often adhering to many of these rules naturally. Always good to know the general rules so you can choose to break them intentionally rather than by accident. Thanks for watching and commenting :-)
When I was learning portrait photography - your ‘offset image’ came up in a different phrasing - ‘the subject should always be looking ‘into’ the photograph’. Like most rules - 9 times out of 10 - it’ll work....... but there’s always that 10th time.... and you still might just get a pleasant surprise!
