So excited to find this super easy way to find that great spot for GREAT compositions! In this video I show you how to do the Fibonacci sequence (or Golden Mean) and the Anatomy of a Rectangle as strong compositional tools in and of themselves. Then I'll show you the SUPER EASY HACK to find the Golden Ratio WITHOUT ANY MATH!
Timecodes:
0:00 Intro
0:39 Still life using Anatomy Of A Rectangle composition example
1:44 Figuring out what's wrong with the composition.
2:05 Edgar Payne's steelyard composition
3:15 How to do the Golden Mean on your canvas
7:10 How to do the Anatomy of a Rectangle (or Dynamic Symmetry)
8:16 The Golden Ratio HACK!
10:52 Reworking the still life to add the Golden Ratio focal point!
14:43 Evaluation
15:11 How I use lessons in painting for my own personal growth
16:39 Conclusion

You made me laugh so much when you were doing the maths, but I totally saw the difference in the painting after you applied the ‘anatomy of a rectangle’ and I love what you said about a little bit of discord being part of life. I also think your hair is amazing! 🥰

For years, I’ve also been using the Golden Ratio 1:1.618 for the overall canvas dimensions. It makes a huge difference even before starting the actual painting process. For example, 20x32” canvas. Thank you for highlighting this simple beauty standard yet unrecognised by so many.

Thank you, Vida Evenson, for this. I am a returning artist (it's been over 40 years!) & I'm working in abstract acrylics now but I've struggled w/composition when it comes to this stuff. You have helped me so much. YOU are so much fun!

I love your energy! I would've loved to have you as an art teacher in high school. You're so excited about this discovery, it makes me excited too lol

I was also so excited when I found out about this and relieved I didn’t have to do the math. I drew up grids on top of old master paintings and was even more amazed to see how the masters used this in practically all the paintings. I now base all my paintings on this theory. Constantly learning! You explained it very well btw.

I am so glad I stumbled across your video of the Fibonacci sequence. You have made things easier to understand without getting to involved in the maths which is fustrating.

Your enthusiasm is contagious and your tip is amazing. Thanks for sharing 😊

I actually have used the geometric process of dividing the paper and making diagonals between points but did not know was related to the Fibonacci Sequence. It has improved my compositions too. Thank you, I learned something and you are a joy to watch.

Priceless wisdom ...photographer here ... thank you

Yes, adding that small piece is much better, and although I am good at math, I would prefer using your shortcut. My old design teacher used to say if it looks right it is right. Many thanks.

Wonderful info, love your enthusiasm, and heart felt teaching !! Thank you, Judith R. Legg

Using thirds means .66 vs. using the Fib of .618, practically .62.
.62/.66=94% so it's essentially the same. If you can do thirds you can move the line a little tiny bit and you'll be right on. I did enjoy the enthusiasm of your discovery. 😊
Aloha

This is essentially the Rule Of Thirds still…. This is cool how they’re all connected.❤ Great video.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I have been recently trying to figure this out. Brilliant! You made it so it was easy to understand.

Vida I love your spirit! I teach beginner watercolor and try not to overwhelm with too much technical info regarding composition. This makes it much more attainable!

Helpful indeed! Glad I found this station!

oh you are so adorable and smart and humble and talented and passionate. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this incredible information!😅
And yes, your picture really “popped” once the Fibonacci point was applied!💓🙌🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️

😊😃🥰Thanks for helping those of us with no math skills.

If verticals is 1 then the horizontal is 1.618. So if your canvas is 10 inches vertically then the horizontal is 16.18 inches. Now measure a square inside the rectangle that is 10” by 10”. Move to the small resulting rectangle and measure another square and so on. I am glad you discovered this for yourself. All of math was discovered this way. I am a scientist and an artist, as well as a math minor. It is all beautiful to me. Celebrating your epiphany with you and wishing you the joy of many more!
