Have you ever found it hard to look away from a watercolor painting and your eyes are just moving around the scene in a loop?
The reason certain paintings have this enthralling effect on a viewer is because the artist has created a balanced, engaging composition. With great composition, a watercolor artist can emphasize a message, convey a mood, elicit a feeling, and engage the viewer.
But how do we accomplish it? What techniques can we use to achieve this intrigue and interest in our paintings?
In this week’s video, I share three composition secrets to help you create captivating paintings. They are the principles I remind myself of most as I paint. Whether you’re a beginner or have been painting a while, these tips will help you refine your composition and engage your viewers.
Until next time - keep working, keep practicing and keep moving forward!

I have used eye tracking for years to analyze and improve my quilts and to help me crop photos, so I really appreciate you applying it to watercolor. A couple more things that can help create a stronger, more captivating composition ... western readers' eyes are trained to track left to right, top to bottom and humans automatically follow eye lines to see what it is a person or critter is looking at.
I get so much out of these short videos focusing on a few related tips or techniques. (Your longer demos are wonderful as well!) I have recently returned to watercolor after almost 3 years due to an injury and surgery that made painting impossible. I decided to turn this long break from painting into an opportunity to come back to it with a fresh, new, mindful approach. Thanks to you I think I'm making progress.
You have the ability to give us information others don’t. So helpful to think of composition the way you explain it. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
I loved this video. Very good tips to improve our paintings!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Composition in painting is something I as a beginner have no experience with at all. I will definitely look at my paintings differently from now on!
Thank you! So much information, so helpful!👍

It’s amazing to see your progress since your earlier videos. Wow! I am pretty new to your channel and you’re such an inspiring instructor. I’ve already rewatched a few videos and I’m planning to take the plunge on a few brushes you recommended. Thanks for inspiring me to be a better artist!! Can I ask, how much do you practice? I saw in your site that you started 7 years ago (maybe it’s not updated?) but you have the skill of someone who has been painting a lifetime. And it’s so inspiring. I am curious how many hours a week you put in to practice since you started. Thanks!!
Useful info, well delivered. Thanks Matthew!
Absolutely stunning!! Thanks so much.
