Painters Tip
More on placement
Once you get your dots situated on the canvas you should remeasure the objects and their relationship to each other in the scene you are painting. What is the relationship in distance between objects? Heights, lengths? If it looks accurate, you must decide whether it looks good on your canvas. Does it look to crowded, or too large? Too small? Fitting the scene to the format is important. At this point you will adjust the elements and add or get rid of ones which need adjustment.
Here is a fun little exercise which will help you learn to place elements and objects accurately in your painting. Take a piece of paper and put dots to represent the elements in the scene in front of you. Take another paper and try to repeat the dots exactly where they are placed on the first paper. Line up the two papers, one on top of the other to see how close you get. Do this exercise fairly often and your ability to accurately place objects on canvas will improve with time.
