Creating visual interest in your painting

Posted in: Composition

When compositing a painting, never make any two intervals the same. Things that are group with equal size and spacing is really boring.

The eyes love to see odd numbers rather than even numbers. Odd numbers are more intriguing for the mind. It is also this reason that triangles and pentagons are favoured more by the eyes than squares as they have uneven number of sides.

When compositing your drawing the next time, remember that there should not be any regular and predictable pattern. The sizes and spacing between elements should be different to create visual interest for your eye and mind.
