Composition Video (DVD)

Ray Richardson expresses the major elements of composition in this informative and smart Composition Video. These elements include:

• color
• texture
• lighting
• arrangement
• shape balance

The goal of the video is to dissect basic composition elements in an effort to garner a specific emotional response or feeling. Richardson covers these core elements in a long slim canvas, and over the course of the video picks apart certain mistakes budding artists often do. The content directly touches on the work of other famed artists in the area of composition, including Matisse, Tintoretto, Degas, and Piero della Francesca.

This video is part of the much larger 'Oil in Canvas' series.
