Composition - Colors - Shapes - Surfaces

Knowledge of color theory alone is not enough to create really good pictures. Only the perfect interplay of colors, shapes and surfaces leads to extraordinary works. Image design and composition play a key role in this. Dealing with a self-selected motif, filtering out the essential components of the picture and the colors it contains, recognizing the division of space and tracing the atmosphere of the picture convey a special view of the chosen image, which is helpful in the realization of our own work. Pictures should be realized in such a way that works are created that correspond to our own feelings, and series work offers us the best conditions for success. The aim will be to vary a picture motif in different compositions and proportional orientations without changing it completely. Different techniques of representation and possibly different backgrounds result in a varied image of what we see. A good mixture of letting go and controlling increases the joy of artistic exploration of motifs and serves as a driving force on the way to your own unmistakable style.
