You can draw the lines at other 3:5 sections of your paintings to create different compositions. Place the focal point or focal area of your painting where the lines meet.Draw a line across the canvas at the third section from the bottom (or top).Draw a line down the canvas at the third section from the left (or right).Divide the edge of your canvas into eight sections by halving it several times to create 8 divisions.3 Steps To Apply The Golden Ratio In Your Paintings In this diagram you can see the horizontal shadow line was also placed at the golden ratio and so was the large figure to the left. While you are starting out, you can measure this point to place key lines and points of interest, but later on it will become more intuitive and you will not have to think about it – much like all the other aspects of painting. I only discovered after I had finished that I had used the golden ratio everywhere! When I was painting the picture it just “felt right”.
You may wonder if I measured this while I was painting? In actual fact I did not even think about the golden ratio while I was in the middle of the painting. I ended up stopping the lit part of the street exactly 5 parts out of 8 in the horizontal direction – the golden ratio.
I needed to divide the shadow areas and the sunlit areas into two different sizes to make them interesting. In “ A Stroll in Xizhou” the houses on the street in the sunlight were casting interesting shadows across the road. This golden ratio has been used throughout history by artists to place points and lines of interest in their work. Although not the exact 0.62 golden ratio, this is close enough for artists. As an easier rule of thumb for your art, you can use a ratio of 3 to 5. Architects use a very accurate golden ratio number, 0.62, when designing buildings. The golden ratio is a method that you can use to divide lines and rectangles in an aesthetically pleasing way. It is a mathematical ratio that’s commonly found in nature, and can be used to create visually-pleasing compositions in your artwork. It is also called the divine proportion, and golden number. In the above square A is 0.62 of the rectangle. Use it to divide lines and rectangles in an aesthetically pleasing way. The golden ratio (also known as the golden section, and golden mean) is the ratio 1:0.62.
