Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
