 Black & White Horizontal Composition The third installment of the Composition of the Month features - Horizontal. Starting off my painting, I splash down all brush strokes horizontally. This first ritual of long, loose, horizontal brush strokes reminds me to stay put. Everytime I wander away from this simple composition, my painting gets weaker in design. Oh sure, I'll have other elements floating around the surface, but mostly the biggest and strongest design theme that comes across is a horizontal graphic design.  Six Horizontal Warmups So this morning's warmup exercises were six, small 10x10 inch paper pieces all lined up and taped down on my painting table. The initial strokes were all playful horizontals. The theme or big idea you might ask? Elusive, abstract landscapes! Hey, it's a good start.   Hot Fire 22 x 22 inches acrylic on paper mounted on canvas |
