Great information! Thank you. Side note: Along with myself and several commentors, apparently the automatically generated Closed Captioning had never heard of rabatment. It replaced the term with robotman, robot mode, and apartment, among other failed interpretations throughout this video. It was a little like reading Mad Libs while learning the actual valuable content 😄
Thank you. That's a great observation. I'm very interested in sacred geometry but this is the first time I've seen an analysis that demonstrated it's use in this manner.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Yes, I have been and there are a number of compositional elements that I've discovered. Things that were itching my brain but that I couldn't identify before :)
Thanks Diane for this extremely informative lesson. Would you please give us a quick tip on how to apply this rule to a still life. I just can’t seem to figure out the rabatment in a bouquet of flowers. Thanks
As usual, thank you for more valuable information. I’m always a little uncertain about whether my compositions are okay or not, so having another way of looking at them is great.
Wonderful video, thank you! Never thought of art in this way and has opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing art. Love your videos! Happy New Year!!!!
Thank you ma’am, as always....I need your assistance and you provide concise, clearly understandable, and with a nice demeanor. Thank you very much. What a great service.
With the Carolyn Anderson painting, do the rabatment from the top: the diagonal of the top square connects the sightline of the mother and baby, and the diagonals of the square cross right on the baby's face. There are also other elements on the various diagonals, like the baby's arm.
Extremely interesting Diane, as usual. I did learn this term ‘ rabattement’ in my art classes which were given by a French professor, According to him it was echoing the predominant colour of the focal point elsewhere on the canvas , ie, making the colour migrate . Thank you!
Such great info. Now I need to go back and see if I naturally use this without knowing about it. I’ll keep this in mind for future compositions. Thanks Diane.
An excellent and very useful explanation, it was also noticeable that in some of the examples you used, the same technique was being used to divide up the “split-off” rectangle.
Thank you once again Dianne. Currently I am painting a painting which has rebatement.... Now I know it! Interestingly I looked through Turner's Luber Studorium, which is my 'go to booklet' when I regress to a state of dithering scribbling (often). In 100 studies and paintings he did not once compose with a rebatement.
I love your classes. I feel so lucky to be able to learn with you. It doesn't matter how old I am, the enthusiasm for painting is always there. Thank you for making your knowledge available to us all.
If you're working in Photoshop here's an easy way to replicate what Dianne is doing. Go to the Rectangular Marquee tool and drag it to the bottom until the vertical and horizontal measurements match. Make sure you have the Ruler turned on (ctrl R)

Dianne, this Rebatment Quicktip was explained thoroughly and his given me some more ideas for my Marine Wildlife and Coral Reef subjects. Thank you👏👍😃
You are so welcome!

Oh dear! That could be confusing, indeed.
Thank you! Didn’t hear about that word in university art classes.
Not surprising...
These quick tips are works of art themselves! thanks so much Dianne!
Thanks, Noel. And thanks for watching.

Play with it. You'll be amazed at what you can discover.

Mona, it totally depends upon the arrangement of the still life. I will see if I can form a quick tip about that.
Your so cool, Diane! Love your tutorials everytime!
Thanks, Nikki!
Thank you! You are just so special.
Thank you, Christien.
Finally an understandable explanation of Rabatment, thank you so very much for this. Well done!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for this explanation! I'd never heard of rabatment until today - so useful to know.
Play with it.
As usual, thank you for more valuable information. I’m always a little uncertain about whether my compositions are okay or not, so having another way of looking at them is great.
Give this one a try.
Great info...another tip we all need to remember when painting!
Give it a try. It's fun.

Yes, and we can't ignore them, but the lesson was focused on rabatment.
Wonderful lessen. Thank you for showing us more artists to know.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Another wonderful lesson ✨ Thanks for the question and the explanation 🙏🙏
Thanks for watching.
Seems so simple yet so powerful. Thank you!
Play with it.

Mmmm. I've never heard rabatment defined that way. I think your French professor needs to revisit the concept.
Such great info. Now I need to go back and see if I naturally use this without knowing about it. I’ll keep this in mind for future compositions. Thanks Diane.
So many artists do use it unconsciously.
An excellent and very useful explanation, it was also noticeable that in some of the examples you used, the same technique was being used to divide up the “split-off” rectangle.
Give it a try. It's fun to do.

Some artists do, some don't. It's just one among our choices for composing paintings.
It’s good to know about new things in drawing and painting
Always!
Very interesting! Thanks Dianne!
You are so welcome!
What a great explanation. Thanks so much for all your tips. Happy ne,new, year
Thanks, Glo Schurman.
Thank you, Dianne. Your quick tips are always informative. Happy New Year!
Happy new year! Thanks for watching.
Loved this lesson. Thank you as always!
My pleasure!
I've not heard the term before, but looking at some of my work...it's there, whaddya know? Thank you for this one!
You must have a natural sense for balance. That was fun, wasn't it!
Great information shared , thank you 🙏🏾 so much, A beautiful lesson learnt too.
Glad you enjoyed it

I think it's awesome how after painting for years and years, we tend to do this automatically. It's like the rule of thirds in composition.
Right!
I understood it to be the exact same thing as the rule of thirds. Am I right?
Excellent lesson!
Thanks! 😃

This was a very helpful lesson. Thank you. Note to Roger: I would like it if I could see the image close up more often.
Noted!
Excellent video
Thanks.
Interesting. Thank you
You're welcome
Wow.!thank you master.!nice video
Welcome 👍
Very helpful.
Glad to hear!
Thank you so much
You bet.
Great !!!
Thank you
My pleasure.
VERY interesting!
Give it a try.
Thank you 🙂
My pleasure.
Is that a proportional divider your using to find the composing idea ? I have one and wasn’t certain how to utilise it - thank you 😊 xxx
Yes, that's one name for it.
I really loved this video. Could there be rabatment in a square composition?
No, Pam. The rabatment works only with rectangles.
Very interesting video. The pointer thing might be called 'calipers.'
Yes, calipers.
Thank you, Ma'am. What similarities does this have to the Golden Divider/Proportion?
They are both based on square within the rectangle, Azure.

Can the rebatment work in a still life painting?
Yes, indeed. Rabatment can work with any genre and any subject.
How rebatment different from law of two thirds?
They are the same IF the canvas aspect ratio is 2x3 (e.g. 24x36). For other ratios (e.g. 12x24) they suggest different axis.
Chuck is right. Thirds will divide ratios other than 2x3 different from rabatment. A square canvas has no rabatment, but can be sectioned into thirds.
Are there any studies of the effect of rabatment?
If you mean scientific studies, I'm not sure. What we have, though, is the way it is used in history, and how we respond to it.
Look at that!!!!
Yep!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
