A dynamic & compelling composition draws viewers’ attention and keeps it. But it’s not a simple task!
It’s challenging for artists to balance all the visual elements of design effectively to create a composition that not only makes sense, but is balanced, and draws viewers in, In this live and interactive panel, Jessica Oliveras and Jane Jones, will dive deep into design principles that they use as master artists, to create compelling visual flow and structure in their work.
Whether you’re working figuratively or abstractly, or anything in between, these insights will help you build more intentional, impactful compositions.
In this event, you’ll learn:
- Core principles of balance, rhythm, and emphasis
• How to intentionally guide the viewer’s eye through a piece
• Techniques for resolving weak or static compositions
• How to use negative space and scale for greater impact
Step into this session ready to rethink how you design your work from the ground up, with LIVE guidance from experienced master artists.
As always, Mastrius events are LIVE & INTERACTIVE!

“As an artist, I am deeply fascinated by the delicate balance of existence and non-existence. The very fact that we exist at all is a probabilistic phenomenon, shaped by countless factors and variables beyond our control. For me, painting is a celebration of the beautiful and fragile nature of being, and a reminder that each and every one of us is a miraculous manifestation of probability and chance.
I explore the interplay between abstraction and figurative art. The abstract backgrounds in these artworks serve as visual representations of the chaos, confusion, and disorientation that often accompany significant life changes. Embedded within these chaotic backgrounds, the figures emerge as the central focal points of each composition. The combination of abstraction and figurative elements highlights the dichotomy between the internal and external realms. By juxtaposing the chaotic backgrounds with the more defined figures, I seek to convey the blurred boundaries between the past and the present, and the existence and non-existence”.

“Learning how to use color and composition in expressive ways is a lifelong journey, filled with wonderful “A-Ha” moments. It is a lot of information to learn, which can be overwhelming, but challenging yourself with just a little bit of information at a time can help you to become aware of what you can do to create more successful paintings.”
Jane’s compositions are spare, presenting the flowers like fine jewels. All extraneous details of the external world are excluded allowing the viewer to focus on a moment of elegance, harmony, and dignity. The paintings are a still moment when the dimension of the outside world falls away, and the details of nature can be seen and appreciated. Her paintings illustrate her desire and hope for the possibility of harmony and balance in the world, and a moment for meditation on our relationship to nature
