Learning composition is important when drawing and painting. Sounds obvious, doesn't it? One of the important tools when learning art is to know your tendencies. I have heard this over and over again with the classes I take.
I have a tendency to put everything right in the middle of the canvas and I make objects too short. These are two of my tendencies so I have to be aware of them when I am drawing and painting.
To correct this, I was taught to draw a few compositional value sketches and crop them until I get a good composition. I have to repeatedly measure objects to ensure they are tall enough.
In my recent class with art instructor Randy Blasquez's, she had us paint notans and timed us. It was a very successful lesson. You can see examples at evamarietannerklaas.blogspot.com.
