Understanding composition fundamentals is so very important, but how many of us really do understand it and/or how to use it effectively? We all know when something doesn’t look ‘right’, but how do we figure out why and how do we fix it? My new blog post is an excerpt from a talk on composition that I give to all of my workshops. It’s a bit technical, a bit boring maybe, but knowing these simple rules may be helpful to you when something not ‘right’ befalls you in the studio.

This is one of 11 drawings I did from 2005 called the Flesh series. I responded to the burned and loosely painted marks on paper with strange organic forms. In my latest blog post I share more about this series, what response drawings are and 5 markmaking ideas you can use in your studio.
