Seamus Kirby Negative Space

Negative space is what you get when you take a picture, remove the objects in the front of the picture, and the space that's left in between the spaces of the object and around it, is the negative space. It is basically the background of the image. The negative space in my cutout is the red on the left side, and the blue on the right side. I found the negative space in the stool drawing, by looking at the shapes inside of the stools, and drew those. It helps an artist to see negative space, because it allows them to see objects and scenes in two different ways. It does enhance drawings because it can add contrast into the drawing.
