Hi everyone. The cruciform composition is one that you often see in abstract artwork and, at its basic form, is a cross or cross-like shape. But if you just put a cross into your painting it can be rather boring.
In this week's video I show you some different ways to use the cruciform to help create more engaging pieces. Feel free to follow along and practice using the cruciform in your paintings.
As always, if you have any questions, topics you'd like me to discuss, or anything else, please reach out. Don't forget to like and subscribe and ring the bell to be notified whenever I post a new video.
Hugs,
Gwen

Hi. I am so happy I found you out just two weeks ago and I confess that I have "eaten" your videos. Sorry for my little English. I live in Chile South América. I don't know how to tell you how much love your work, along with your pronunciation that allows me to understand everthing. Thank you for sharing with so much llove. Best regards, Viviana

Thank you Gwen! What I don't understand is if you are using oils why does it drip when you add water? I would have thought they don't mix well.
@GwenFoxArtist

Great question....you are right....water and oils do not mix well. I am using Gamsol which is also what I clean my brushes with when I finish painting.

This is just producing decor. It has no relationship with serious art.

The definition of Art is a matter of perspective. What is art is some is not art to others. I am curious. What is your personal definition of art? It is a process of creation through creativity? Or is it how the resulting end product is judged? Or is art specific to a certain mindset or creative technique? I do believe that everyone is entitled to share and learn as they wish. Just as I believe that everyone is entitled to have and share their opinions. I am excited to learn more about your thoughts.

Who told you this is not relevant to serious art? Google Roger Van Der Weydon's Deposition From the Cross. Also go to your library and take out 'Mastering Composition' by Ian Roberts Also.. this is abstract, very different from representative painting but the principles of composition are the same.😊
