Rule of Third



In this lesson, I learnt about perspective when positioning a subject in either a photo or drawing and using a guide line known as the Rule of Thirds. In the intersection point of placing it on top of or the bottom of the horizon line, allows something to appear more visually pleasing. For example, we were given a task to apply this rule with a given drawing.

Western House by Claire Hummel In Photoshop. 

I used the Rule of Thirds guide when positioning the house and even altering the cactus plant later. Then used a filtering gradient over the background.


After using a colour palette similar to the image and layering each section, I used the guide to make sure it aligned.

The final image is below. I also applied some lighting contrast between the cactus and the house so it would stand out more against the light. I found this rule to be quite helpful during this speed paint, and will look forward to using this in future references.
