The Compositions of Great Landscape Paintings 

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been struggling particularly with composition in landscapes but I found your clear and simple explanation really easy to understand.

Don't stop I enjoy what you are doing

Beautiful collection of paintings with strong compositions! Thanks for sharing!

I learned a lot. Thank you.

Really helpful! Thank you !

VERY, VERY helpful!! Thank you!!

Thank you for the lesson on composition, the background bird sounds magical.

This was one of the most comprehensive presentations about composition that I have seen or read. It's one thing to read about design, it's another to have someone point it out. Thank you

I have learnt so much- no- everything from your tutorials on RU-vid. Thank you so much!

Very interesting. Thanks Phil. I really loved all the work you chose.

So good. Thanks

Thank you. I always enjoy your painting tours.

Very informative

Thanks! A lot of information packed into a short amount of time - very valuable.

This video and explanation of the elements of good composition is very helpful.

Thanks.

Thank you Phil. It's helpful to see good example of principles and wonderful art.

Thank you so much Phil ! It's a very educative and interesting video ! You make it look so simple and that is really encouraging for a beginner like me! Looking forward to many more ! Thanks again.

Love following your analysis of other painters compositions

Enjoyed the video. Thank you.

Terima kasih

You have a roo 😄! Thank you so very much, sir, for your clear and concise descriptions of good compositional design. For the longest time I couldn’t seem to grasp the concept of eye movement through a painting. I think if I had had something like this video way back when, I would have caught on sooner 😊. Thanks again

Great video, Phil, and I appreciate you sharing the work of these painters, most of whom I've never heard of. The painting @ 24:00 was a great representation of Tonalism, so I double-checked, and he (Emile Carlson) is listed in David Cleveland's comprehensive book on American Tonalism. I purchased the 3rd edition last year, and cannot recommend it highly enough for all landscape painters. I read it cover-to-cover over the course of a couple of months. Anyway, this video is timely for me, as I'm currently re-reading Payne's Composition of Outdoor Painting, and your detailed analysis of the compositional elements of these wonderful paintings ties right in to Payne's discussion of balance, emphasis, shape, and movement within a painting. It's gotten me to spend more time thinking about being even more mindful about focal areas, directional movement, and massing shapes and values in my own paintings. I found your channel just a couple of weeks ago, and it's fantastic! I have been painting w/ pastels (studio & plein air; southern UT/CO plateau being my favorite subjects) for the past 11 years, and am getting back into oil painting in my studio, with the goal to start painting w/ oils on location when it is warm enough for me to paint outside. Your channel has been hugely informative to that end, and maybe at some point I'll be able to afford to take a workshop with you 👍🏻.

I find/feel how my eyes enter a painting depends upon the height at which the painting is hung.

Great video! I’m looking for a book or course of study that looks at old master landscape paintings and deconstructs their composition just like you do in this video. Do you know if any books like this? Thanks!

Pls add turkish subtitles

Whos rosters 😂

Please don’t say foliage….its foliage.., fo-leee-age

This composition advice is for people who can’t see what is beautiful so they have to theorize it. I’m wondering why they would become an artist.
