Composition Issues

<< Back to Tree of Life Blog Home

Hi Vince and Bini,
I have to move from the word.docx document as I need to approach this painting project not as a monolithic problem to solve but discreet areas “chunks” and sections which together will help move the project to completion.

The compositional areas are the background the mid-ground and the spirit animal portraits.

I will divide these up into separate blog posts which will have areas for response and dialog.

The main constraint on the composition is the vertical (portrait), in terms of composition and also wall space.

Using your rough lines considering the width to be about 64″ and height about 89″, I have to scale the whole painting down as it is to tall for the wall. We can talk more about this.

Rough size using an image for size comparison.
