Good composition is the backbone of all paintings including abstracts. Learn the classic principles of composition ,the importance of tension and verticals,contrasts, how to lead the viewer and the 30/70 rule. Then take it further as we learn to compose in shapes and tones that make even the simplest design more dynamic.
