GREAT, clear explanation-I always did this intuitively, but could never verbalize why it worked. Thanks Jason :) I can now consciously apply these concepts to future still lifes.
Jason, your videos are so joyful. I've been watching some the last few days mostly about different types of color/mixing color. Your knowledge & enthusiasm about oil painting & other media is obvious is shown with these videos. I mostly do pen & ink and getting back to acrylic painting. Even though I don't do oil painting I really like your videos and have learned a lot. When I was a kid I watched The Magic of Oil Painting with Willliam Alexander and the Joy of Painting with Boss Ross. You are just as good as them..
You can also achieve asymmetrical balance in composition by using to objects of smaller size at the same distance from center as a single large object, so long as the smaller objects appear to equal the same mass as the large object. It's both symmetrical and asymmetrical at the same time. These rules of composition can be incredibly fun to play with. Thank you for sharing this as a refresher for the more skilled and as tool for those just getting started.
Great topic. There are many different compositions and Edgar Payne's composition of outdoor painting book is good for explaining this. Be great if you could show more examples Jason for your viewers. I believe the one above is the steelyard composition.
Thanks for watching! I have not made my own oil paint. There are some videos about it on RUclips... Check out Alex Connelly, Ryan Demaree and flackstudio. :)
The first thing the eye will mostly go to is light and/or contrast or bright color. If you have a large shape that's receding into the background it wouldn't pull the eye away from the light area(s). If everything was a similar value and tone, then the big shape would probably win out. Thanks for watching! :)
I'm not really what you are referring to? In general I would say just to introduce a little of the opposite into each area. Like yin and yang. Thanks for watching!
You showed examples on the same level so I am wondering if the two objects have to be on the same level. Also do the two objects have to be the same value?
One of the best teachers on RUclips! Thanks for all you do.
Thanks so much for watching and for the nice comment! :)

Glad you enjoyed it. :) Thanks for watching!
I'm just a beginner, very glad to found you on RUclips so I can learn from you🌸
I am an "advance" beginner and this clase was wonderful for me, thank you very much, you are such a great teacher and artist
This is an amazing description. The lever thing made perfect sense.
I'm so glad you found the video useful! Thanks for watching :)

Totally joyful. Makes my day better.

yep, good vibes from Jason
Thank you for making things so easy to understand.

I'm glad you enjoyed this video. :) Thanks for the nice comment and for watching!
I almost said you used chatGPT to write this until I looked at how old this comment is 😂.
Conceptual explanation is so useful.
Really understood the science behind the visuals. Thank you.
I'm so glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching :)
So cool! So I do this intuitively too but didn't know it had a name. Great video.

Thanks for watching! I apprecite the feedback and will keep it in mind for future videos. :)
I never understood how that worked. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks Walcott this is great

Simple but very important concept!

Good info!

I just discovered your channel and have enjoyed watching. Will you be doing more videos with pastels? And acrylics? Thanks.
Thanks for watching! :) I don't paint with acrylics, but I will be doing more pastel videos for sure. Glad you're enjoying my channel!
Hi! May I please ask if you have ever made your own oil-paint, and made any video of the production of it?
Thanks for watching! I have not made my own oil paint. There are some videos about it on RUclips... Check out Alex Connelly, Ryan Demaree and flackstudio. :)
May I please also ask if you have ever tried adding neon to premium-grade oil-paint?
@@nyekonto2665 I'm not sure what you mean? I'm guessing "neon" is an auto correct?
Does the eye tend to look at bigger shapes first or smaller ones?
The first thing the eye will mostly go to is light and/or contrast or bright color. If you have a large shape that's receding into the background it wouldn't pull the eye away from the light area(s). If everything was a similar value and tone, then the big shape would probably win out. Thanks for watching! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 That was a particularly helpful answer. You def have the gift of teaching!
We have half of page black and half of page white. What should we do to balance it?
I'm not really what you are referring to? In general I would say just to introduce a little of the opposite into each area. Like yin and yang. Thanks for watching!
Do the two objects have to be the same value?
No not at all. They can be whatever value they need to be for the painting.
You showed examples on the same level so I am wondering if the two objects have to be on the same level.
Also do the two objects have to be the same value?
No that was just a basic example. Assymetrical balance can take many forms. Thanks for watching!
God bless you :)
Thanks for watching! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 thank you for your tutorials
Are you related to Frank Walcott?
No. :) Actually I think it's Frank Walcutt with a "u". My name is spelled with an "o". No relation. Thanks for watching!
