When planning a picture, everything does not need to be in the center of the painting.
It is far more interesting to have it slightly off center for the purpose of the eye moving around the picture to gather as much information as possible.
The sorting process of the painting is unique to you, you choose. This is called the composition. The size of the painting is an important component of the composition of a picture. If you want a sweeping landscape you want a rectangular canvas or paper to work from. |
