Learn how to use a light box to turn photos into a composition in this free instructional video art lesson

Video Transcript

I have taken my photograph that I took from Butchart gardens in Victoria, and taken the one flower and drawn three flowers here, tracing it using my light box. And, now I have some leaves that I have and I'm going to use those from a second picture and begin putting them to add some leaves and some background to this composition. You can move your piece of paper around anytime, like I have. And, I see one leaf I like here and I like this so I'm going to back up here and trace these leaves right here, I like that there. And, I'd kinda like a repetition of that back down here. So, I will move that down here and I will start with my leaves and go here like this and again here like this. OK, but I think I want another leaf over here, so I'll add that there, then I will look at this again, and there's some leaves that are interesting. So, I will take this larger leaf and I will bring it down here like this, with just a part of the leaf coming down and going up there and then a smaller leaf here. I will continue this until I get the composition that I am interested in. This is a good way to use your light box and you may use all different things, and be sure and save all of your drawings and your photographs because they will help you get an interesting composition. Be sure and watch our next segment on the conclusion on how to use your light box.
