Colston pp. 32-35

A balancing act
There are many ways to balance an art piece. Through rule of thirds, in color, movement composition and value. Everything always needs to be balanced in the world of art, personally I have no idea why this is such a rule, but I feel obligated to balance every art piece I do.
We can also use a view finder in order to balance out the amount of sky or ocean or precentage of an area that is show with the use of cropping.
*hint: you can use a pencil to pinpoint the height of a object in your artwork.
hold the pencil out at arm's length, closing one eye, and lining it up with whatever you want to measure.
