Mixed Media Tutorial - Focusing on Placement in your Composition - Move The Line

Move the Line - Mixed Media Tutorial by Sandra Duran Wilson
Composition involves color, shape, textures and placement. It can inform how your viewer enters and moves around your painting. The element of composition we focus on today is placement. Specifically, the placement of a horizon line.

Placement of the horizon line can help your viewer understand the painting, whether it is a high or low horizon. Working within the grid can give your piece a balanced and stable painting, whereas a painting with no horizon line will convey a vastly different mood. In an abstract painting with no horizon line, colors and shapes can assist the viewer and guide them. Like a map that says, start here, go there and turn here. This is one of the reasons abstract paintings can be more challenging to create a successful composition because you do not have an identifiable object that the viewer would naturally gravitate to. A stop can be achieved with a strong color block or shape to keep the eye from shooting off the painting.
