Function of composition

The most basic function of composition is to actively guide the audience's sight.

The skeleton supports people, and the composition can support the picture.

Composition is a consideration and arrangement of the overall content and form of the picture, and it is the basis of landscape hand-painting. A successful hand-painted landscape is inseparable from a good composition, which directly affects the final effect of the work. Composition is not only a concrete form, but also a concentrated expression of the formal beauty of a work.

In the landscape hand-painted performance, whether it is lines, shapes, color blocks, or before and after, virtual and real. , are mainly composition. In painting, composition should not only meet the basic aesthetic requirements, but also be unique and appreciative.

Composition balance and symmetry mainly refer to the stability of the scenery in the picture, which is a visual habit and aesthetic concept formed by human beings in the long-term observation of nature. Aesthetics that conforms to this feeling will bring aesthetic feeling to people's vision, which we call stability.

There are two kinds of pictures with a sense of stability, one is balanced and symmetrical, and the other is general. The general picture can also produce a sense of stability, but it is generally lack of change, lifeless and rigid, so remember not to treat the picture equally when composing, which is not beautiful.

The golden section is a geometric formula invented by the ancient Greeks, and the composition form that follows this law is considered to be "harmonious". When appreciating an image work, the significance of this rule lies in providing a reasonable geometric line segment. The golden section can be used not only in landscape painting, but also in various painting compositions and photographic compositions.
