LOVE LIKE A ROSE
Watercolor - 11x15
So what exactly is a Focal Point? Or as it is often called - the Center of Interest? It is the area of your painting that you want the viewer to focus in on.
You can establish the focal point in several ways - it can be the largest object, have the brightest color, the most contrast and/or the greatest detail. In the painting above I had several roses in the bouquet but made one larger than the others and added more darks in the background around it and a little more detail in the petals. Hopefully, your eye travels all over the paintings but eventually settles on the large rose.
Don't forget that all of my Watercolor Paintings of Roses are 20% Off until Valentine's Day in my Etsy Shop!
