  2. I most certainly do! After concept, composition (or ‘design’) is the most important thing on the list of 7
    (concept, compo, drawing, values (tones), edges, brushwork, color)(not all relevant to photog).

    There are some basic rules (eg don’t center the subject, pay attention to the corners of the image space, beware of cutting things off at the wrong point, ETC. – that should become pretty much second nature),

    and the idea of dividing the picture space into thirds and siting important things on one of those intersections, ETC.

    BUT, the real big things are:1) to have interesting shapes arranged in an interesting way (and most usuaully avoid repetition/repetitive elements unless you’re SURE you want them)

    and, ABOVE ALL,
    2) consider the light/dark pattern (in Japanese the ‘NOTAN’).

    Painting and photography are above all studies of light…

  3. I guess with painting the good thing is you can take your time, think and start again if need be!

    I tend to forget about composition but eventually I’ll remember to think before I press.
