Tutorial 118 - Continuity (Patreon)

When we wish to create a composition to lead the eye around an image, then we can use the gestalt principle of continuity.

The eye will follow paths that are clearly connected until the line of continuity ends or hits an object. 

A path can run through an object if the object displaces to make way. 

A path can be made up of several objects which don't touch or overlap but appear aligned.  

A path or line may even lead the eye off the page and back again if presented properly. 

There are many ways to use paths to construct lines of continuity within our compositions.
