Painter's Tip
Edge Control in your paintings
A found edge gives momentum.
Hard edges block the eye from moving into adjacent spaces.
They can effectively move the viewers eyes through a painting.
Soft and lost edges allow the viewer to move freely between sections of the painting.
Varied edges create interest in the painting.
Edges can be external or internal, with external defining the outside shapes and internal defining folds or patterns in an object.
Color and pattern can be spilled over edges, connecting and relating the two forms.
