5 COMPOSITION IDEAS to Improve Your Landscape Painting

In this video I share with you, five compositional designs you can incorporate into your landscape paintings. These compositional designs are based on what I have learned from the historical artist Edgar Payne’s book titled 'Composition of Outdoor Painting'.

These five compositions are the compositions I most commonly use in my paintings as they are some of the simplest.

I also in the video show you things to avoid in composition.

Extremely useful! I am actually building a house and need to plan my garden landscape. I am going to incorporate your composition suggestions into my plan.

Thank you so much for your lesson. I had just learned of Edgar Payne and I was not sure I could swing his book, so I started to look at what it was about. Your paintings are lovely and I so enjoyed seeing how the principles applied to your work. I currently do watercolor and am planning to start oil painting soon. Your lesson already has me thinking about paintings I have done and what should or could have been done differently. Thank you again.

I made notes while watching this video - very useful. I also liked the samples of compositions that didn't work. I wondered if you go back and fix these, having seen what was needed. Thanks as always for a very informative tutorial.

Thank you Sam, I am learning to use Procreate myself as a former left handed artist; I must now try to create using my non-dominant right hand. ( I had a stroke and my left side is paralyzed 😫) So the iPad and procreate are my best option for painting. These tips make complete sense; I will put them to use!God bless you sir!

It would be useful to make a video on how you pack the paintings for shipping, the whole process, thanks ✌

My dad would tell you that you need 2 haircuts-I’m joking-in one of your videos you were wearing a Metallica shirt-you should play heavy metal during your videos- you make painting look way to easy-
