Compositions Made Simple
Craft compositions that keep people coming back for more.

Too many artists leave their work up to fate and don't have a clear direction on how to compose a painting. 'Flow in Composition'  will help you create unique compositions that communicate the ideas behind your art and create engaging masterpieces. 

 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

  • The fundamental rules of composition

  • How to formulate your own reference image

  • Paint Sketching Technique 

Composition gives your work structure and plays a big role in how your work is perceived and understood.  A bad composition can lead a viewers eye off your canvas and onto the next one. A good composition will hold the viewers attention!

Get started with simple techniques to upgrade your composition skills and keep the viewer focused on YOUR work!

*Please note: the painting study of this composition is found in the Follow up class called 'Composing Bold Portraits' by Liz Ranney
