Location and Effects of Objects in Fine Art Paintings

Greeting card with image of my painting, Cherries. This card and other items with images of my painting are available at http://www.zazzle.com/arlenebabadartist.

When objects are close to the front edge of paintings, they reach into the viewers’ space. This creates intimacy and drama. When the main object faces forward, the object can appear animated. Objects further away from the front edge create atmosphere. There is more quiet space. There is also a sense of tranquillity and mystery. Artists can use both placements in their painting.
