Avoiding symmetry in painting
One of the design concept one should adhere to when composing a picture (or even a photo) is to avoid design elements that are exactly the same, as this makes for a static and boring composition.
When I drew Tower Bridge, I realised that the composition was quite symmetrical, so I knew I had to counteract this in the painting stage.
You may notice that I darkened the water unevenly and also lifted paint from one of the towers to stop them from being identical.
