A perfect line has no artistic music.
There are two lines that have the least variation and they are the perfectly straight line and a circle. A perfectly straight line obviously has no variety at all. And, the circle, by curving at exactly the same ratio all around, has no variation of curvature. It is of all curves the one with the least possible variety.
Line rhythm or music depends on the shape of your lines, their relation to each other and their relation to the edges (boundaries) of your paper or canvas. In all good work this music of line is in harmony with the subject (artistic intention) of your picture or drawing.
These two lines are the dullest and are not usually used in paintings except to enhance the beauty and variety of objects.
So if your lines aren’t perfectly straight and your circles aren’t perfect, be glad, you have just added artistic music to your painting!
