"Composition in One Easy Lesson"

Picasso, La famille de saltimbanques, 1905

In three of the corners of this painting Picasso uses changeable stuff of clouds and light to create interest.
Vermeer, Girl with a Red Hat, 1665

Another favorite painting of mine is this Vermeer. I think by know you can easily see that these artists create very interesting shapes, colors and light in their corners.

You might want to go back to the top and have a good look at the stunning Cezanne composition.

I hope you enjoyed seeing composition in a fresh way. I guarantee you that you will feel a great deal of satisfaction when you take a little extra time and effort in the corners of your paintings and make them interesting!

Michael is a master of his craft, and I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from him. I can't emphasize enough how much I recommend his classes!" Lauren Schwartz, student.
