Golden Mean?

[Julianne Lowman]

Is is possible someone could demonstrate or elaborate on the use of the Golden Mean in portraiture? Thanks in advance!

Julianne,

While awaiting specifics, you might begin at this thread on the Golden Section & Fibonacci Series in Art, which for now has somehow escaped transfer into this Composition subject area.

Using the "Search Messages" feature, do searches for "golden mean", "golden section", and "golden rectangle", for starters. Mention or discussion tends to crop up in a variety of places. (Don't put those search terms in quotation marks when you enter them.)

Thank you for the hyperlink. For some reason my search before I posted did not come up with anything...obviously an error on my part.
