Cropping a canvas

Hi Morris,

A trick to make sure your subject is pleasingly placed in the canvas is when you are just beginning to sketch your subject, either with your paint or with charcoal undersketch, turn your canvas upside down. If your subject looks as if it is suspended from the top or sunken down at the bottom, you can adjust your drawing before you begin painting. This will help you avoid having too much space on the top or on the bottom.

Nice portrait, by the way!
