Painting Maui Hawaii on Location
#79, Poli Poli Approach, Maui,
Hawaii, 22x30, Acrylic
When your composing your
picture, locate the center and sides of the image. Position the painting
directly under the image you are going to paint. Position yourself
the correct distance away from the support (painting) so the sides of the
support mark the sides of the image in front of you.
Draw a center line on the support and mark three obvious relation points from the image on the support. These position marks can be any distance away from you and one of them should be on the center line. If you can see
the horizon line draw it in, if not draw in a horizontal center line.
I use a second set of
three markers using one of the first sets' marks. This gives added
accuracy. All of this is very important for figures and landscapes.
