Don't be Negative but draw that way!

When  I draw or paint I look at the negative space of the Item or subject. This watercolor is set against the dark sky. To get the size and shape of the lighthouse I look to the shape between the house and the tower of the lighthouse.

You can do a drawing of any thing, horses or  people or dogs and cats. The negative space way of drawing and painting is not new and is a little contrary to normal or conventional thinking.

Oh yes be positive in your  life but when you draw you can find the edges of what it is your painting.
That is the way to draw in the negative space it helps when you want to get a shape. Look at what is not there then draw that. Confusing? Well keep at it and it will work for you.

Keep your  brushes wet and be negative.
