▶︎Free Video Lesson: Eight Tips To Avoid Overworking Your Painting www.learntopaintwatercolor.co...
In this week’s video, I cover my three tips to create a more natural and interesting scene:
Avoid patterns
Resist symmetry
Add variety
These practices don’t come naturally. Our brain wants to make patterns and symmetry, and we like to go along with it. We get used to doing the same things in the same way. Sometimes it takes conscious effort to break ourselves from these patterns and recognize that nature doesn’t follow the same rules.

I liked the way you illustrated the concept of balance. The simple shapes on the scale translated so literally to the trees near a path!

Bit of trivia: The composition in the section on symmetry Edgar Payne calls a 'steelyard'.

Thanks David! Yes, I need more Edgar Payne in my life. I have a few books of his work. I need to dig in to them more.
