I've been doing this new thing where I draw the amature of the rectangle on a canvas, then just draw everything in a still life as if it mostly fits in there already. Totally works for still life paintings since nobody actually knows what the original scene looked like, BUT:
The best thing about the AotR is that most people don't notice the painting has been organized along those lines, yet it seems like it's composed and organized. It also works no matter what the aspect ratio, which doesn't work for Ro3rds on say 1:1 or super wide canvases.

Thanks! It makes sense now. This is cool.

It is very cool, and once you know about it you start to see it everywhere in paintings after about...1800? Sometimes a little earlier, but that's the general rise of AotR. In general with composition I've found it's either "has *some* kind of logic" or "purposefully illogical"
