Planning a painting series for a wall
A series has two scales: the size of each painting and the shape the group makes from across the room. Think about both before deciding on a canvas size.
Measure the group
Three 16-inch panels + two 2-inch gaps = 52 inches. Allow extra width for frames. Measure the usable wall rather than the whole room. A doorway or the edge of a sofa can change where a group feels centred.
Give each piece a role
A diptych can hold two views of one subject. In a triptych, a quieter middle piece might separate two busy ones. In the Lab, choose the number of paintings, then use the numbered tabs to give each piece its own size, medium and finish.
Try the arrangement
Choose Spatial Direction if placement is part of the brief. Add an optional wall photo, move the pieces, and try a different orientation. The board helps discuss the arrangement; use your own measurements for the actual fit. Signature Composition adds written and visual references.
