    The document provides tips on composition for paintings from Peggy Simmons. She recommends using the "four S words" - see, squint, simplify, state - when composing paintings. A good composition divides the canvas into thirds, has an accurate drawing and thought-out spatial relationships between objects. Artists should compare negative and positive shapes and check perspective. Types of compositions are described from Edgar Payne's book on outdoor painting.

    TIPS ON COMPOSITION OF PAINTINGS


    By Peggy Simmons
    Four S Words for Compositions
    See
    Squint
    Simplify
    State
    A good foundation promotes a successful composition
    Divide your canvas or paper into thirds.
    A good drawing (does not have to be really detailed, but it does have to have the basic
    size and perspective included) and a thought-out composition are essential.

    Spatial relationships compare the size of one object to the next one and then check that
    against other things in the composition. For example, the size of the building to a tree
    and where the sky meets both in the composition.

    Always compare negative and positive shapes.


    Make sure that your perspective is accurate.
    Thumbnail sketches are good for laying out the composition for your painting.
    Questions to ask yourself
    Why are you painting this?
    Are you inspired?
    Is it a good composition?
    What are the actual colors and textures?
    Are you remembering balance and harmony with colors and shapes?
    Is your drawing accurate?
    How is your perspective?
    Are you blocking in the whole picture and working the entire picture or panel?
