PAINTING ON A VERY WIDE CANVAS

If you're working on a tall, narrow substrate, it's best to compose a painting that works well within the confines of that vertical format. Not that you have to paint a giraffe or a skyscraper, but you get the drift!

Conversely, if you prefer to use the canvas for a horizontal painting or mixed media artwork, choose subject matter that lends itself to that wide shape.

Here's an abstracted acrylic painting I did to help illustrate this concept: Hope you like it.
