The Composition 3:
Next Level
This is the final lesson of the Composition course. If you are taking it, you are already comfortable with the basic rules described in the first two parts. That is, you are ready to apply our knowledge in practice.
But first, we will get acquainted with the work of the King of Composition - Andrew Wyeth. Analyzing his paintings, we will understand what effect can be achieved by following the rules. Or breaking them - which is even more interesting.
In the second part of the course, we will do just that - we will completely rebuild the space in our original photo to make our watercolor more interesting. This, in my opinion, is the goal of visual art - to try to describe the world, while making the description as expressive as possible.
