How can artists create movement in an artwork?

well, you cant actually really create movement in your paintings. everything you brush onto your canvas is physically stable and will not move once its dried. however, with the clever use of some compositional elements, you can at least create the illusion of movement, adding even more depth and interest to your art. here are some several ways to create that illusion of movement in your paintings:

1. Directional brushwork

2. Contrasting smooth and impasto texture

3. Using rhythmic, or repeating elements

4. Contrasting warm and cool color temperature

hope that helps!
