Subscribed after one minute. I paint landscapes only - No creatures, no structures; just landscapes. Although I am well versed on most of the things you mentioned, it never hurts to learn it again. I am 71 years old and will never be too old to learn. Thank you for a great treatise on landscapes.
You're very welcome, Quazie. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and you are certainly never too old to learn, that's for sure. It's one of the things that keeps life interesting.
Being an artist that has not had the privilege of art school training, I was encouraged to see that I am already using these perspectives organically, without understanding them consciously. Thanks again for the education.
Jill, I am a landscape photographer and enjoyed your video since you touch on many of the common elements of Landscape Photography Composition. Thanks for presenting the subject in a systematic and organized manner, no to mention in a soothing pleasing voice.
Wow, so well done. As an educator, I am floored by the content, presentation, approach and review. Can't wait to watch more videos! Thanks for all the references too.
Great masters had better eye, they did everything without guidance of camera or computer. Thts why I repeatedly go bk to their works...it pleases n calms my mind,fills with happiness
Alhamdulillah. Thanks God I found this YT Channel. Very usefull. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Jill. I whatch and watch your video and write everything down. I like to paint landscape and cityscape but it is new for me about composition. Now I understand there's many things to consider to make a painting works. Thank you.
Really helpful! I am also an educator and have been searching for a video that explains some of the most important tenets of a good composition and you did a great job keeping the viewers attention, explaining the points simply and effectively, and bringing it all together in summary at the end. Thank you very much for this and I will be using this during my painting classes to effectively explain the key features of effective landscapes. Well done Jill!
What a great choice for a topic! Thanks Dianne and Jill. This video has been an eye opening for me when it comes to landscaping. I mostly paint still life. I will definitely try a landscape considering your tips and reasoning within the composition, thank you so much! I truly appreciate it!
This is one of my favorite art channels I've come across. Your presentation is very good. It's very soothing, I enjoy painting to your playlist. I only wish you had more videos. I really enjoy your take on different artists and their styles, I would love to see more of that or maybe even further focus on some of your favorites.
Thank you so much, Rob. I really appreciate that. I've actually thought about doing a small series on specific Masters, but it's in competition with so many other ideas. If only I could double my time.
Thank-you very much Mam. I love your work in a Landscape. I am photographer, and I am learning landscape photography by watching youtube videos daily. Your video about "Developing an Eye for Landscape Composition" helps me very much to understanding the Composition concepts in Landscape. Thank-you very much love from India
A great lesson! I am self-taught and tried to learn from books. None of them showed in such a simple and clear way what the composition is about. You explained everything wonderfully and thanks to that it will be easier for me to paint and read the masters' pictures :)) You have a great gift and thank you for sharing it. Greetings from Poland:))
It's very useful in learning those rules, do s and don't, golden rules, symmetrical rules, Light distribution, and got new concept about triangle rule. Those are really useful tool when come to design a successful painting. Thank you for the video.
@@JillPoyerdFineArt Art is about pleasing eyes, and its also about pleasing heart. Somehow, the value of an art piece is depends on individual's eye. I believe we all have mutual understanding on this. Thanks for sharing. I think i get the theory, and i think nature landscaping has its own rule rather than drawing people on portrait .
Thanks for making Carlson's landscape painting theories so much more "palette-able"! :D As you no doubt know, he and also Edgar Payne have lovely/valuable/essential books on composition and are highly recommend for the student, but be prepared for some difficult reading! They were artists not writers, so when a video like yours cuts through all that verbiage and gets to the heart of the most important aspects of landscape painting, it's very helpful; and a God send really! How many times have we seen a beautiful painting, full of details and even good light effects, but fatally flawed by a poor compositional design. Many of us have those, stored away in our studio,.... where no one can see them! LOL. Good video, Jill, thanks!!
True, Ron. Their writing does take a few cups of coffee from my experience - lol. I really appreciate your comment. It really is one of my goals - to cut through fluff and complexity in order to present the information in an easy to understand form.
I know Nothing about painting but watched this video just because it was recommended...i was so surprised because i never notice these things while looking at the landscape pictures..I watched the video till the end! Very informative and you explained it really well that someone like me could understand it so nicely. 😀
Jill, I am so glad that UA-cam displayed your video. And I am more pleased that I clicked on it and invested just under 23 minutes into the viewing. This is such a pleasing, informative, and professional video on the subject of composition. You have done a fantastic job. As one of the comments states, you have a very pleasing voice and can share information in a very pleasing method. This is great information. I will share this site with those in the Lachri Fine Art community in the Google plus world. Each artist there can gain by viewing what you have done. Thanks again for this great work.
Thank you so much, Michael! And I'm so glad you enjoyed the information. Not only was it a joy to produce, but I love the challenge of trying to present information that could be rather dry in an enjoyable manner. Learning about art should be as beautiful as the art itself.
I'm a photographer, and these ideas will be helpful composing and editing my photos. Thank you! And I always enjoy the beautiful collection of pictures you use to illustrate your ideas.
Dear Mrs Jill your voice is so smooth that clearly accompanies your videos. My sincerely congratulations for teach through your videos. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Even not being into painting I do understend how dependant & related is photography are. This vid exceeded my expectation far better than most of the so called pro landscape photographers in youtube. Beautifully explained without unnecessary takes of people walking around telling irrelevant stories just to lengthen the video & get more views.
I great appreciate this video. As a enthusiast photographer I try to learn every day to be able to express what I perceive of the world around me. Thanks !
I watch this for photography purposes and I received a great deal of information thank you for sharing. I'll be watching the rest of videos for more hit and tips. Photography and painting are kinda the same art form but you have to be really gifted to use the brushes.
Great video. This was very useful for setting up painting ideas I might have and where to place things aesthetically. Thank you! (made some google notes on it too so I can quickly get back to it).
I absolutely love this and All of four videos. I have watched this one three times already and learn something new each time. Thank you for taking the time to create these very helpful videos. I hope that you make many, many more!!!
Thank you so much, Stacy. It's always so rewarding to hear how people enjoy them. I do have plans for more! Hope to start on a new one in the next month.
Thank you for this Jill. I do photography and of late during the lockdown, I have done some Landscape work but I am sick to death of landscape photographers talking about the rule of thirds, it makes for boring photographs. I loved your shot of the tree and it was interesting to know that Troth Richards came to Cornwall & Dorset in England.
I recommend the photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson, there's a DVD about his work called the Impassioned Eye. It struck me that he did deviate from the rule of thirds some of the time, and it always worked. WHY it worked... I can't really answer but maybe you or Jill can!
@@sursurrus I think you'll find it worked because there are many Tools of composition. The rule of thirds always seemed scruffy and was based on the golden spiral. Many of the photographic vloggers use it to death and they need to open their eyes more and look at great landscape artists. It is no wonder many photographers prefer B+W, then they don't have to worry about colour spoiling their shots as in a big blob of red in the wrong place. Here is a thought, wide-angle lenses they see more than we do, so now you start trying to fill the space in, useless foreground that doesn't really add anything to the composition in fact it detracts from the main subject. I shall have a look for that DVD. Cheers
Thanks for the helpful video. It was a welcome relief after having my time wasted by other videos that repeat only one simple point for 13 minutes. I would encourage a part 2, with even more depth & examples.
Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful tutorials. You have a voice that is soothing and so easy to learn from. I hope you continue to make tutorials, thanks
Dianne Mize recommended your video in one of her weekly newsletters. It was enjoyable to hear another art educator go through them. I taught pre-K through 12th grade in the public school system. I also used to paint landscapes a lot before becoming ill and losing the steadiness of my hands. Anyway this is a superb video & thanks to you and Dianne, I was able to enjoy it.
Thank you, Cheryl. I'm very sorry to hear about your hands, BTW. I lost use of my dominant arm for nearly a year and it was very challenging. I can only imagine issues with both. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and many thanks to Diane for her kind reference.
I think an additional factor to consider along side Carlson's observation of plains is that of the plains position relative to the direction of the light. Light low in the sky will hit vertical elements such as trees at an angle much more like that of a mountain, giving greater exposure than if the sun were overhead etc. Another factor would be the relative original color value of the objects which will influence their positional value . Also if you have reflective surfaces such as water falls or ice covered trees they will reflect light that normally wouldn't exist on those incline plains, giving a brighter appearance. Lots of factors influencing an otherwise very useful starting point. Thank you so much for an excellent video.❤
It would be fantastic to heart tips from you for photographers, on how they could take and edit landscape pictures to look more like paintings. Simple dodge and burn rules etc. Thank you for your videos!
Wow. You mentioned Carlson. Few landscape painters I know today are aware of Carlson. He opened my eyes about composition of landscapes. And most importantly VALUES. I don’t consider myself a landscape painter. But when you break it down to plains and values, it applies to figure and portraiture. It fact, to me Value is more important than color. Color Is relative to every artist. Values are absolute to every artist. Where were you when I was a young student?
I agree that it can apply to other subject matter, and I love how you put it so succinctly that color can be relative by values are absolute. So true! Literally, humans see color differently, even if only slightly different. Very interesting comments...
Thank you for sharing this video, excellent demonstrations! Composition is so important not only in painting, but in photography. I learned a lot from your lesson!
Such an enthralling and informative video. Thanks for capturing such a vast array of subjects in less than 30 minutes and providing such deep insights. Glad I came across it. Thanks and best wishes
Esse vídeo é simplesmente genial. Foi feito para ver e rever e rever e rever. Obrigado por esse grande presente de ensinamentos e poder de sintese em fundamentos para o nosso aprendizado artístico.
I don't do any fine art or painting, but I have a passion for photography and these things you shared are very helpful on composing our images with our camera. Thank you for making this video and all the best for you and your career. Cheers!
Ms. Jill, I keep coming back to this wonderful lesson you are teaching here! Trying to be a painter becomes very complex when you become really serious... about getting it right. Painting objects and good compositions are two different things! I've tried for years, and with all the fun and enjoyment it gives; when you want to do it better and at another level: you are this first one to know where you stand!ly I constantly search for information with strong tutorial quality, as well as information that can clearly be understood! You care about others really understanding and that is why you have so many admirers as well as perhaps good artist following you! Your explanations are soooo helpful. Do you happen to have ANY instructional materials out? Should your have a chance to respond, and I can imagine how busy you must be, and I respect your time,... please let me know how to purchase from you!!! I just love your approach and the way your interact with the people who appreciate you! Thank you Kindly! JIMI

Very well done tutorial. Excellent examples and clear, concise explanation. Great tips for the beginner and also a good refresher for the practicing artist as well.
Hello Jill, photography is my passion and I very much enjoyed your video on composition. This subject matter is of particular interest to me and the content of this video is extremely valuable. I like the way you segmented the various sections and the learning summary. The pace is just right and you have a beautiful voice that is in perfect harmony with the subject matter. Take care.
Thank you for your comments, Richard. I'm so glad you found both the information and flow helpful. I really do try to make it enjoyable for people to watch. Best to you in your career!
Jill, yes ma'am So much to learn, I was a good bowler until I was shown how to bowl. I draw in charcoal will definitely put your teachings into play... Thank you
Such great contents, Jill. Absolutely love your channel! Thanks for bringing us amazing information. Please keep making these. You are superb! Love from Canada ❤️
I loved this video!! It includes pretty much everything about composition I've seen in other videos and I learned a ton. Why does placing a large object in the center help the composition?
It's really just an optional composition design. When you place the focal element in the center, you're featuring it more like a portrait. The composition is all about that element. It should be able to carry the scene by having enough visual interest and the surrounding elements should act as a support. So, if I'm painting an amazing close up of a flower, for example. If I opt to center it in large form, I'm making the painting all about that flower and the intricacies within its form. If it's part of a set of flowers, then the painting becomes more of a story or a composition about the bouquet, rather than that specific flower (although you can still make that the focal point within the bouquet). Does that explain it better? This is true of any element or object, in my opinion.

I don't do any fine art or painting, but I have a passion for photography and these things you shared are very helpful on composing our images with our camera. Thank you for making this video and all the best for you and your career. Cheers!
Ms. Jill, I keep coming back to this wonderful lesson you are teaching here! Trying to be a painter becomes very complex when you become really serious... about getting it right. Painting objects and good compositions are two different things! I've tried for years, and with all the fun and enjoyment it gives; when you want to do it better and at another level: you are this first one to know where you stand!ly
I constantly search for information with strong tutorial quality, as well as information that can clearly be understood! You care about others really understanding and that is why you have so many admirers as well as perhaps good artist following you! Your explanations are soooo helpful. Do you happen to have ANY instructional materials out? Should your have a chance to respond, and I can imagine how busy you must be, and I respect your time,... please let me know how to purchase from you!!! I just love your approach and the way your interact with the people who appreciate you! Thank you Kindly! JIMI

so nice work.
I loved this video!! It includes pretty much everything about composition I've seen in other videos and I learned a ton.
Why does placing a large object in the center help the composition?
It's really just an optional composition design. When you place the focal element in the center, you're featuring it more like a portrait. The composition is all about that element. It should be able to carry the scene by having enough visual interest and the surrounding elements should act as a support. So, if I'm painting an amazing close up of a flower, for example. If I opt to center it in large form, I'm making the painting all about that flower and the intricacies within its form. If it's part of a set of flowers, then the painting becomes more of a story or a composition about the bouquet, rather than that specific flower (although you can still make that the focal point within the bouquet). Does that explain it better? This is true of any element or object, in my opinion.
Very informative! Thanks!
