fantastic! I've been studying watercolors for a few years now and composition is one of my weakest spots...i tried lots of courses but very few have been as clear and informative as this video... excellent job, i'm going to go and check all the other ones now :D Thanks again for putting all the time and effort in making such a good video ❤

The alien image is interesting as I noticed the circular crown and angle of the shoulders before I registered the light focal points.

Interesting. Well those two areas have contrast of shape (organic shapes against much more mechanical shapes), so maybe the shape contrast drew you first, although those two spots also are near areas of light contrast which may have also helped lead you to the interesting shapes. Regardless, not everyone's perception is the same, so while eye diagrams can be good as an indicator, they shouldn't be considered a 100% guarantee.

Could you elaborate more on the "stop"? Why do our eyes bounce off of dark shapes? Does it have to do with contrast? Is it because it frames the composition by darkening everything around our bright focal point and allowing it to stand out more? Is it because every time we try to look away we're met with low contrast in the dark areas which immediately brings our eyes back to the bright focal point because everything around it is overall darker and lower in contrast? If I'm right wouldn't this work with dark on bright?

Yes, it has everything to do with contrast. Our eyes seek out contrast, so if you put dark objects around the edge of the paper, our eyes will travel to the bright center. But just the same, if you have a white piece of paper and a dark object in the middle of it, our eyes will travel to the dark object. Assuming of course the white paper isn't on a black wall, in which case our eyes will bunce between the edge of the paper and the object in the center of the paper. So yes, it can work both ways, the important part is the contrast.

@@ArtOfSoulburn thank you for replying, I couldn’t decide on the exact reason but this clears things up. I want to thank you for putting out such insightful information, nobody on youtube takes such deep dives as you, nobody. Which is why Im taking my time to write down, study and understand each of your videos about composition and all I can say is that Im not even halfway trough and a huge part of art has been demystified for me. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it :)
