Post 183: Composition 17. Framing Draws the Eye

Composition: Framing Draws the Eye

This is Part 9 of my series on Composition

Have you tried a "frame within a frame" in your artwork? Composing your photo or artwork may include an element appearing to be sitting inside another element. Framing draws attention and leads to your main subject, adding depth. It draws the eye in, makes the viewer study the picture/painting longer, adds a lot of interest. Give it a try!
