"Hi I'm Melody from Expert Village I'm going to show you the little end part of the composition just taking this as a sample. This is our canvass which will be this and like i said in a previous segment you can do anything you want it be a flower, a magazine article or add a big boutique any thing you want to paint but this is what were using. Take into mind there's three sections: there's the foreground, there's the mid ground, and sky and before the sky in some cases you can actually have a little bit of layer and in front there could be a very close ground, mid ground and then a middle ground. So when your making the drawing you will not be at this angle and you'll be alot more at ease drawing your picture. What I was thinking of doing was using this one and what I did was I had a building. I'm going to try to sketch it here because at this angle I'm having a little difficulty. So this where our building is going to be basically. And then were going to have alot of fullage in this one it comes down and then it only goes to about there. But I'm just going to squiggle in where I want some of this fullage to be. There's my roof line and this is just an idea if you like what were thinking about drawing. You might not even like it joke and no I don't like that there, and you'll change the whole thing put the water over here coming down over some rocks. So I make this and I'm going to make my line and then I'm going to put some tree's here, I'm only using this a little bit as a little bit of a guide. And it can just go off into some tree's. So then you got maybe one big tree there in the middle. And then you have more lines of fullage coming over here on the side then you got a rock. I can't do the water right here cause I'm really in a bad angle but maybe we can squeeze one more segment and show you how to do this."
