A Year of Making Art, Day 312: The Importance of Negative Space

February 25, 2008  Day 312

I was made acutely aware of negative space in my drawing today.  Space that looks "empty" because it is not filled with line or color has an important function in a composition.  The oval opening in today's drawing is an obvious example of this, but in every drawing or painting, the negative spaces have an important visual impact.

I started gessoing canvases this morning, but soon I'll have to go pick up Mike and Rachel at school, so I will finish tomorrow.

Yesterday I added the availability of frames to my acrylic paintings on paper (on my website), since most people prefer to order art that is ready to hang--at least they do when they purchase from the internet:
