A Knight Templar, more interested in the secrets behind making great art than stabbing things, stumbles into the Watcher's Library, a labyrinth of boundless knowledge where art, mystery, secret societies, and the occasional talking bird collide. What begins as a simple quest to understand visual composition soon spirals into a grand adventure through time, space, and art history itself.

From the biological roots of creativity to the elusive secrets of the Masters, the Knight's journey uncovers the long-lost 'Hierarchy of Visual Elements', unravels the mysteries of Flow, and crosses paths with Hans Holbein, Pieter Bruegel, Johannes Vermeer, Ilya Repin, John-Singer Sargent, and many more. Along the way, ancient wisdom is challenged, artistic traditions are questioned, and maybe... just maybe... the Louvre gets burgled of its secrets.

Blending practical insight with irreverent humour, Secrets of Composition is a deep dive into the unseen forces that shape powerful images, told through the eyes of an unlikely and possibly immortal guide.

Packed with knowledge, hidden stories, and inserts (documents pilfered throughout the Knight's journey), this fully illustrated journal is more than a book. It's a collector's item. A jewel in the artist's bookshelf.

Now. Are you ready to see the Art World like never before?
