Landscape Painting


Landscapes of works of art that feature scenes of nature: mountains, lakes, rivers, gardens etc. As long as the image has scenery in it, then it is considered landscape art.

Derived from the Dutch word landschap, landscape can also refer to:
  • cityscapes: views of an urban setting
  • seascapes: views of the ocean
  • waterscapes: views primarily featuring fresh water

The earth is a wondrous creation.From barren deserts to lush rainforests; from swelling oceans to cloudy skies... the earth provides endless inspirations for visual artists. Nature's palette is everywhere we look. The end product can be a realistic interpretation of the landscape or even an abstract view of it.

"Landscape format" refers to a picture plane that has a width which is greater than its height.

"While the river of life glides along smoothly, it remains the same river; only the landscape on either bank seems to change." - Max Muller


The machine can never replace the artist's hand, which work in conjunction with the artist's eyes and mind - analyzing the source of light, examining the range of hues and tones, filtering the mass of information and transforming the outer vision into painted reality. They can choose wild, "unnatural" color schemes that are expressive and striking.

Here in this "Landscape Painting", I have used Titanium White, Hooker's Green Hue Permanent, Deep Green Permanent, Phthalocyanine Green, Cerulean Blue Hue, Raw Umber, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna and Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue.

And finally to protect the painting, I varnished it.
