Synopsis

Examining the elements of good composition in painting, this book looks at each factor in turn, including shape, line, space, tone, texture, object size, and colour. Each point is illustrated via simple diagrammatic line drawings, and through the work of 24 artists the author demonstrates good composition in over 140 finished paintings. Key points, and some of the author's ideas, are highlighted in the tips section which closes each chapter. Frank Webb is a member of many American art organizations and has represented the American Watercolour Society in exhibitions in the USA, the UK, Canada and Mexico. He also lectures, instructs and writes on painting techniques.
