This is a very cool BobBlast! The overall idea is you can use the same graphic design composition, no matter what your subject or style.
Plus… in this BobBlast, we address a common design flaw we have all been guilty of -- putting the subject right in the middle of our painting. "Right in the Middle" is a composition too: Called "Spiritual" - Using this composition can cause the painting to have a sense of serenity and reflection.
I prefer the more dramatic graphic design of Asymmetrical, or Off-Balance. With this composition, there is a lot going on in the painting towards one side. On the other side can be the focal point color spot.
In a landscape, I find the busy area on one side (a grove of whimsical trees) and one smaller, single and isolated subject (tree, person, barn) on the opposite side.
Initially I start my looser abstract paintings this way - eventually building the correct colors to match my Goof-Proof Color Wheel - and with the composition design clearly seen at the finish!
Demo is in three parts, using the same Composition (Asymmetrical) and Color Combo (Yellow Dominant).
•Abstract Landscape
•Abstract Floral Vase
