Russ,
Okay, agreed, but what if I crop off the wingtip at the left side of the page and keep the Spad tail and a bit of air space between it and Nungesser?

Nope. Now it seems disjointed and a little unbalanced - you've basically got 2 halves competing with each other when you do that. Overlapping them helps tie them together.

Leader- The other thing the vertical does is set you up for an OTF cover if Cicogne likes it. Look at Jim Dietz' Udet painting to see what Russ was talking about. It was an OTF cover.

simple
basic shapes not individual craft or technique composition who cares what happened in 1979 - compo is timeless.

for example:
the current compo everyone is slobbering about does not engage Chuck to the background.. see?  look at the shapes and then look at where the eye goes first

i worked hard for you guys today...
Here's my underpainting progress done in acrylics - about 50% there for an underpainting. After I move things around and get it how I want it, I'll overpaint it in oils, to get richer colors, better blending of the facial tones and finer details.
   He's out of proportion, but I don't want to cut him off at his ankles, so if I really want to keep his boots, I'll either have to make his head smaller and lenghthen his lower legs a bit or make his head bigger and lenghthen his torso to cut him off at the thighs at the bottom of the canvas. hmm.

No, I haven't joined up yet. Let me get one of these paintings done first,  then I'll look into it.I hope you do realize that this underpainting is far from the finished product. |
