Really interesting. I. have read some books on composition but not heard of the steel yard or the radiating line. Very useful. Having a few set ways of starting to make a composition is helpful. Thanks
My series next year will go through at least 20 designs and when mixed that gives an artist thousands of possibilities. Its a crutch to get started but after a while your mind intuitively starts to build these after a while.
Thank you Avon..that is such a useful video lesson. I just watched another video of yours that showed how to simplify photographs using thumbnail value sketches, which was also great. Can I ask you what pencil value to use to grey ( in advance) the prepared thumbnail outlines. It’s such a great idea..you’ve come up with. It must be useful for artists using other media, not only pastels.
I typically use an HB. I shade the paper with a coat and use a tortilla to turn my paper to a middle gray, then use the HB to add more gray, and use an eraser to make the highlights and lower toned grAys. I hope that helps.
