As a man thinketh in his heart; so is he. Proverbs 23:7

"Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.

Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. " -Philippians 4:4-9

Merlin - Lesson in Composition (Con't)


Cennini Forum: Remember the Merlin composition that was started last June? Finally, I am getting back to this task. Having read nearly four books on composition, I finally was able to design a drawing that Rob Howard (Cennini Forum Moderator - Master Teacher) finally found acceptable. And I quote Rob, "The basic composition is solid. From this point it's just add more information that helps to tell the story. That's not to be confused with mindless detailing."

So I am posting. I chose the part of the story where the white dragon has defeated the red dragon and Merlin's prophecy has been declared true, the tower regained, and the soldiers rise up to go out and defeat the enemy.

Now all I have to do is add more information to help tell this story without adding details... mindless details that might cause confusion. "Oh vay." I'm still working on it.
