With a solid design, a painting will have the best chance at success. Using her engaging style, artist Jill Poyerd discusses topics such as the aspects of landscape painting that make it unique, seeing the landscape in terms of visual planes, composition dos and don’ts, and design tools used by some of the Masters.

This is just the video I needed. I am a becoming a big fan of your work. Thank you so much
Subscribed after one minute. I paint landscapes only - No creatures, no structures; just landscapes.
Although I am well versed on most of the things you mentioned, it never hurts to learn it again. I am 71 years old and will never be too old to learn. Thank you for a great treatise on landscapes.
You're very welcome, Quazie. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and you are certainly never too old to learn, that's for sure. It's one of the things that keeps life interesting.
Being an artist that has not had the privilege of art school training, I was encouraged to see that I am already using these perspectives organically, without understanding them consciously. Thanks again for the education.
You're very welcome, Kim
Jill, I am a landscape photographer and enjoyed your video since you touch on many of the common elements of Landscape Photography Composition. Thanks for presenting the subject in a systematic and organized manner, no to mention in a soothing pleasing voice.
I glad you enjoyed it, Far Ma. It's great to see that photographers are benefitting from it as well - very rewarding.
Wow, so well done. As an educator, I am floored by the content, presentation, approach and review. Can't wait to watch more videos! Thanks for all the references too.
Thank you so much, Toby! Very appreciated
Jill, I am so glad that TH-cam displayed your video. And I am more pleased that I clicked on it and invested just under 23 minutes into the viewing. This is such a pleasing, informative, and professional video on the subject of composition. You have done a fantastic job. As one of the comments states, you have a very pleasing voice and can share information in a very pleasing method. This is great information. I will share this site with those in the Lachri Fine Art community in the Google plus world. Each artist there can gain by viewing what you have done. Thanks again for this great work.
Thank you so much, Michael! And I'm so glad you enjoyed the information. Not only was it a joy to produce, but I love the challenge of trying to present information that could be rather dry in an enjoyable manner. Learning about art should be as beautiful as the art itself.
Jill, my plan is to view all of these videos that you have produced. It will take time, but I will gain doing it. Thanks again.
Thanks for making Carlson's landscape painting theories so much more "palette-able"! :D As you no doubt know, he and also Edgar Payne have lovely/valuable/essential books on composition and are highly recommend for the student, but be prepared for some difficult reading! They were artists not writers, so when a video like yours cuts through all that verbiage and gets to the heart of the most important aspects of landscape painting, it's very helpful; and a God send really! How many times have we seen a beautiful painting, full of details and even good light effects, but fatally flawed by a poor compositional design. Many of us have those, stored away in our studio,.... where no one can see them! LOL. Good video, Jill, thanks!!
True, Ron. Their writing does take a few cups of coffee from my experience - lol. I really appreciate your comment. It really is one of my goals - to cut through fluff and complexity in order to present the information in an easy to understand form.
Foi e mesma sensação que experimentei com Payne. Jill nos brindou com uma verdadeira aula
Your instructional videos are an absolute delight. Ty very much as it’s clear you’ve put a good deal of effort into them.
I just can't believe how much knowledge I can get from one video of yours, thank you a lot for sharing this video with us
You're very welcome, Silent Voice
Awesome video. I really like the part of exercise. Thank you very much
I am a designer/photographer, best class/video ever in composition. Thank you for posting.
Thank you so much, Dania! That's a high compliment...
Great masters had better eye, they did everything without guidance of camera or computer. Thts why I repeatedly go bk to their works...it pleases n calms my mind,fills with happiness
There really is something special about them, isn't there? Especially seeing them in person.
Total philosefia. Keep on sharing.
What a great choice for a topic! Thanks Dianne and Jill. This video has been an eye opening for me when it comes to landscaping. I mostly paint still life. I will definitely try a landscape considering your tips and reasoning within the composition, thank you so much! I truly appreciate it!
I'm so glad it was helpful, Crisalinda. And how nice that it has inspired you to try your hand at landscape!
Hi Jill, Good job. Thank you.❤
Very inspiring. Thanks very much, educational and uplifting
Thank you so much Jill for such detailed description in such a beautiful voice.☺️
You're very welcome, Skye - and thank you.
Really helpful! I am also an educator and have been searching for a video that explains some of the most important tenets of a good composition and you did a great job keeping the viewers attention, explaining the points simply and effectively, and bringing it all together in summary at the end. Thank you very much for this and I will be using this during my painting classes to effectively explain the key features of effective landscapes. Well done Jill!
Thank you, Kathleen. Means a lot coming from a fellow instructor!
I came for the painting information and keep coming back for the voice. I have watched all of your videos many times :) Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoy my work!
Very well done tutorial. Excellent examples and clear, concise explanation. Great tips for the beginner and also a good refresher for the practicing artist as well.
Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful tutorials. You have a voice that is soothing and so easy to learn from. I hope you continue to make tutorials, thanks
You're very welcome, John. All intentions are to continue! Aiming to release a new one by Summer 2017

Such great contents, Jill. Absolutely love your channel! Thanks for bringing us amazing information. Please keep making these. You are superb! Love from Canada ❤️
Thanks so much, Syeda. I'm so glad you've been enjoying my videos!
This is one of my favorite art channels I've come across. Your presentation is very good. It's very soothing, I enjoy painting to your playlist. I only wish you had more videos. I really enjoy your take on different artists and their styles, I would love to see more of that or maybe even further focus on some of your favorites.
Thank you so much, Rob. I really appreciate that. I've actually thought about doing a small series on specific Masters, but it's in competition with so many other ideas. If only I could double my time.
Your approach is what's needed. Don't quit.
Thank you so much, Virginia
Great video. This was very useful for setting up painting ideas I might have and where to place things aesthetically. Thank you! (made some google notes on it too so I can quickly get back to it).
Alhamdulillah. Thanks God I found this YT Channel. Very usefull. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Jill. I whatch and watch your video and write everything down. I like to paint landscape and cityscape but it is new for me about composition. Now I understand there's many things to consider to make a painting works. Thank you.
I'm so glad you found my channel and have enjoyed it, Henny! Welcome!
So pleased to see this video. I just stumbled on a treasure.
the best art channel that I managed to find on youtube
Thank you so much, Michal. I'm honored.
❤️
A great lesson! I am self-taught and tried to learn from books. None of them showed in such a simple and clear way what the composition is about. You explained everything wonderfully and thanks to that it will be easier for me to paint and read the masters' pictures :)) You have a great gift and thank you for sharing it. Greetings from Poland:))
Thank you so much for that feedback and kind comment, chaconne04. It's very rewarding to hear how you benefitted from the video.
I learned a lot from photography books.
valuable guide. Thank you
Absolutely Inspirational
Learned something new today after many years of painting in oils, choose and get you angles right in the first place,many thanks.
I'm glad you benefitted from it, Jim.
Very helpful documentary
so nice work.
Brilliant!! This has really helped me. Thank you
Excellent video and subject matter. Thanks Jill.
You're very welcome, Larry
Thanks for the helpful video. It was a welcome relief after having my time wasted by other videos that repeat only one simple point for 13 minutes. I would encourage a part 2, with even more depth & examples.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Cc
Thank you that was great. Very helpful.
Excellent info! I’ll try to remember before I paint next time.
I have shared these videos with my painting friends. Incredibly well done. Thank you!
That's so kind of you, Josephine. I'm glad you found it helpful.
I know Nothing about painting but watched this video just because it was recommended...i was so surprised because i never notice these things while looking at the landscape pictures..I watched the video till the end! Very informative and you explained it really well that someone like me could understand it so nicely. 😀
I'm so glad it was helpful, smh
Most enjoyable video.
I great appreciate this video. As a enthusiast photographer I try to learn every day to be able to express what I perceive of the world around me. Thanks !
You're very welcome, Riccardo - glad you enjoyed it!
Thank-you very much Mam. I love your work in a Landscape. I am photographer, and I am learning landscape photography by watching youtube videos daily. Your video about "Developing an Eye for Landscape Composition" helps me very much to understanding the Composition concepts in Landscape. Thank-you very much love from India
That's so wonderful to hear, Chetan - I'm very pleased to know how it has helped you.
Thank you for sharing this video, excellent demonstrations! Composition is so important not only in painting, but in photography. I learned a lot from your lesson!
You're very welcome, Baoren. Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm a photographer, and these ideas will be helpful composing and editing my photos. Thank you! And I always enjoy the beautiful collection of pictures you use to illustrate your ideas.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I do strive to make my videos visually pleasant.
Thank you a lot for such valuable information!
Dianne Mize recommended your video in one of her weekly newsletters. It was enjoyable to hear another art educator go through them. I taught pre-K through 12th grade in the public school system. I also used to paint landscapes a lot before becoming ill and losing the steadiness of my hands. Anyway this is a superb video & thanks to you and Dianne, I was able to enjoy it.
Thank you, Cheryl. I'm very sorry to hear about your hands, BTW. I lost use of my dominant arm for nearly a year and it was very challenging. I can only imagine issues with both. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and many thanks to Diane for her kind reference.
Even not being into painting I do understend how dependant & related is photography are. This vid exceeded my expectation far better than most of the so called pro landscape photographers in youtube. Beautifully explained without unnecessary takes of people walking around telling irrelevant stories just to lengthen the video & get more views.
Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Valuable information! Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ernst
I absolutely love this and All of four videos. I have watched this one three times already and learn something new each time. Thank you for taking the time to create these very helpful videos. I hope that you make many, many more!!!
Thank you so much, Stacy. It's always so rewarding to hear how people enjoy them. I do have plans for more! Hope to start on a new one in the next month.
Jill Poyerd Fine Art You are very welcome. I look forward to seeing what you do next!! Hope you and yours have a safe and happy new year!!!

Thank you, this was just what I needed to help someone learn design. Also love your voice.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tremendously informative thank you
Your voice is so soothing.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thx, well done!
Thank you, Gayle
I watch this for photography purposes and I received a great deal of information thank you for sharing. I'll be watching the rest of videos for more hit and tips. Photography and painting are kinda the same art form but you have to be really gifted to use the brushes.
They do have many commonalities, I agree. Both certainly rely on the skilled placement of the visual elements.
Fantastic content!
Thank you, Antonio!
EXTREMELY VALUABLE VIDEO, THANK YOU
You're welcome, Thiloka
I think an additional factor to consider along side Carlson's observation of plains is that of the plains position relative to the direction of the light. Light low in the sky will hit vertical elements such as trees at an angle much more like that of a mountain, giving greater exposure than if the sun were overhead etc. Another factor would be the relative original color value of the objects which will influence their positional value . Also if you have reflective surfaces such as water falls or ice covered trees they will reflect light that normally wouldn't exist on those incline plains, giving a brighter appearance. Lots of factors influencing an otherwise very useful starting point. Thank you so much for an excellent video.❤
I actually explain your first point in my online class with the same name. Good observations, Heather. Glad you enjoyed it!
That covered a few details to practice to better appreciate :-)
Great instruction, thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Douglas
This video is so very excellent, a pleasure to view and hear!
