Here are some helpful tips to remember when combining several scenes into one landscape.

• Choose one main focal point or center of interest. All other elements of the composition should support or complement the center of interest, not compete with it.

• Don’t place the center of interest smackdab in the center of the scene.

• Use color, dynamic lines and forms, strong value contrast, abrupt edges or texture to enhance the center of interest. To a lesser degree, repeat these compositional elements in other areas of the painting to maintain artistic balance (not symmetrical balance).

• Make sure the light and shadows in the scenes are compatible.

• When working on location, take reference photos. The lighting and weather conditions can change rapidly. The photo view screen in a digital camera is a good emergency backup.

• Make sure that the elements being combined share the same perspective. You shouldn’t be looking down on one tree and up under a tree that is situated right next to it.
