A painter in white overalls and a cap near the top of a tall ladder at a blank limestone wall, one arm stretched up with a roller on a pole, the other out for balance, the long shadow of the man and the ladder on the wall beside him and a black doorway low on the left — Frame 01 · SeeingThe shadow is the second painter

How a lesson works

Ten minutes of reading, one walk with your camera, one photo back.

The critic

Upload the photo from your lesson. You get a short, honest review in plain words.

What the critic says

“The wind does the work here. Three bodies, all leaning the same way.”

Works: Dark figures on a pale track read at once.
Works: The stone wall on the left leads the eye to the group.
Fix: The tilted horizon reads as a mistake. Straighten it or tilt it more.
Next: try the same track from lower down, so the figures stand clear against the sky.

Inside a path: the contact sheet

Every lesson is one frame on your sheet. You fill it as you go.
