A couple of days ago, I posted a review for Visual Flow: Mastering the Art of Composition by Ian Plant (with George Stocking). Here’s the link for the review in case you haven’t read it yet.

Today, Ian released a companion book for Visual Flow titled “Visual Flow Companion, Volume 1.”
Here’s what Ian has to say about the new book:
A year ago, I completed Visual Flow: Mastering the Art of Composition. The project was a labor of love, and I was mighty proud of it when I was done, but even I couldn’t have predicted how well it would be received by customers and critics alike. Mastery of composition is a life-long process, so I’ve decided to extend the Visual Flow experience with this first anniversary update.
This companion volume is filled with new images, new analyses—and new insights. I invite the growing community of Visual Flow readers to share in my ongoing artistic discovery!
The Visual Flow Companion, Volume 1 contains:
- Explanation of the compositions of nineteen of Ian’s favorite images from the last year.
- Compositional analysis of images of fellow Dreamscapes bloggers, George Stocking, Kurt Budlinger, and Richard Bernabe.
- In-depth discussion of masterpieces by Rembrandt and Singer-Sargent.
- More of the super-imposed squiggles, lines, and curves that helped make Visual Flow such a hit.
