What is a balanced composition?

Balanced and stable composition means that the picture structure is cleverly arranged, corresponding and balanced.

Balance is one of the most basic principles in composition, and its main function is to stabilize the picture.

The sense of stability is a visual habit and aesthetic concept formed by human beings in their long-term observation of nature. Therefore, all plastic arts that conform to this aesthetic concept can produce aesthetic feeling, while those that violate this principle will look uncomfortable.

A painting should be balanced and stable in general, which makes people feel stable, harmonious and complete.
