    I've been an artist since I was able to hold an ink pen... I have never, EVER, seen someone both explain composition and illustrate a flawless lesson in the art of simplicity at the same time... You truly have a gift for teaching, whether you know that or not... Thank you...

    I absolutely admire how you manage to break down the most complex themes into such manageable bits! Thank you!

    Brilliant and so helpful! From being a passionate photographer to a focus-lacking painter I now see what is going wrong. I love everything I see and find it really difficult to narrow it down to a composition so as a photographer I am prolific (digital was a blessing) but that doesn't translate into my paintings because I try to paint absolutely everything. Time to focus. Once again that little tutorial hit the 'light switch' 💡 Thank you!

    Thank you for sharing these composition tricks. I only knew about the rule of thirds and the Golden Spiral, but I’d never heard of the L, S and pyramid compositions. Thanks! 😊

    Another great way of showing how to do it. It's not enough to read about it, when you see it explained and demonstrated that just makes it "CLICK". Thank you for sharing your talent with us, for always upping our game too!

      I went to art school too. There are a lot of really bad art schools. I really didn't learn anything. And most art schools they kind of already expect you to know everything how to draw. That's why you submit a portfolio. And if you're not good enough, they don't accept you. It doesn't matter if it's a cheap school or an expensive school. And expensive school is just about connections to the industry and job boards to help you get a job. But it's pretty much the same. They don't really teach you very much except maybe like how to use 3D softwares and stuff like that.
      Well I shouldn't say they don't teach you like the really good schools. Do teach you a lot but it's like $200,000 and it's not really worth paying that when you can learn. Basically for like everything you need from online courses that would maybe cost you $1,000

    Very helpful! I tend to use a couple more than others, rather instinctively and coming out of my photography background. This was a great breakdown of what the options are and your examples of possible subjects was hugely helpful as well, thanks for putting it all out so clearly and simply. I have heard of another option referred to as the “smile”, a sort of wide U shape, I use that as well. So glad I found your channel!
