Bringing Balance to Your Compositions
In my last livestream, I worked on finding my focal points. So now I have stronger focal points and everything else has been taken into the background; the contrast is striking and needs to be balanced out. I'm going to be using collage and some mark making to fill in the gap between the bolder focal points and the distant background. Come learn with me!
