I *also* find that even pros can't really tell that I got the position of everything "wrong". I show people the paintings next to the subject and they have to study it to figure out I moved things around slightly. It's very interesting, almost as if the composition hides it.

I don't quite understand this. You draw a rectangle on the canvas and then expand beyond it in the actual painting? Does this help with composition?

The canvas is already some kind of rectangle. Most people use a simple composition method called "rule of 3rds" where you divide it in a 1/3rd grid, then put stuff at the intersections. The AotR is where you draw guiding lines from corners and edges: http://www.dynamicsymmetryart.com/the-armature-of-the-rectangle.html …
