Weekly BobBlast Issue 356
Cockeyed Compositions Always Get Attention!
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
This BobBlast features the third of my four favorite graphic compositions I use when painting my ethereal landscapes. There are many more, but these are currently my four favorites!
Previous BobBlast demos showed the Horizontal composition - everything happening on the horizon line, and Tunnel Vision Composition.
The featured composition this week is rather cockeyed… defined as crooked or askew, not level. I refer to this composition as Off-Balance, Asymmetric or Cantilever Composition.
Simply put - This composition is a whole lot of something on one side and a tiny alone thing on the other side. It may not be visually evenly balanced, but it is an esthetic design from nature that is surprisingly attention-getting. Think BIG vs small.
Some may refer to your painting as cockeyed, one-sided, askew, awry… or even lop-sided! That's perfect for me. It's all about your own original point of view! This strong compositional design can also convey an emotional title and message…
•Isolation
•Privacy
•Alone Time
•Away from the Crowd
You get the idea!
Watch the demo! In this BobBlast, I start with a "drip tree" painting (vertical composition) and shift the focus to a more off-balance design. The emphasis is a lot of trees on one side and a lone focal point tree on the other side.
Practice many versions of this Off-Balance design. Stay tuned for the next BobBlast Landscape Composition: The Golden Section.
