| 33. Don’t abruptly end a portion as it runs into another area. |
 | Fig. 53. Left Incorrect. The highlighted grass suddenly stops when it reaches the foliage. Besides, the picture plane is divided in half in this area. Right. Fig. 54. Better |  |
| 34. Vary your forms. If you have round summer trees don’t have round clouds in the sky. On another note, the peaks of a mountain or pine trees will look nice when surrounded by round clouds. |
| 35. Balance is another key factor. There shouldn’t be that much difference of mass on any of the four sides of the painting; either right, left, top, or bottom. This will make it feel like it's leaning. The painting will appear it is hanging lopsided. |
 | Left. Fig. 55. Incorrect. The heavy mass on the right tends to make the painting want to lean towards that direction like a see-saw. Right.Fig. 56 Better. This composition is more balanced now that some weight has been added to the opposite side. |  |
