In this painting, the darker ‘path’ is an s-shape leading to the cliff in the distance. This is a well- known device to lead the viewer’s eye to a focal point. Chromatic Lands I is a favorite painting due to its range of colors and its textures.
Armature: Basic dynamic symmetry armature for a painting with a 5:4 aspect ratio. I did not consciously use this armature when designing this particular painting. I can use it to analyze the design.
