LEARNING OBJECTIVES
■ Compose the picture using the rule of thirds
■ Build colour-mixing confidence
■ Complete the painting with candle wax texture and white gouache
The rule of thirds will help you in composing this painting. Divide your paper into thirds, vertically and horizontally. You should then place the focal point on or very near to one of the intersections. Having the focal point off centre will make a more satisfying composition than placing it centrally. This applies to most artworks.
