Paint A Landscape With Us!
A beautifully colored sky with simply textured ground and trees, throughout the artwork, are the main components of most of landscape pictures. People seem to have the most fun when they can relax and be free and open, while painting; Recreating a scenic picture is the way to do that! Trees tend to look tricky, but once we show you the best ways to approach them, you'll LOVE painting them!
Where did this timeless painting idea start? Who created the first landscapes? What are the most famous landscape paintings and by which artists?!
The earliest "pure landscapes" with no human figures are frescos from Minoan Greece of around 1500 BCE...
"The tradition of landscape painting, in any form, was born from centuries of evolved painting styles, beginning with the tinted walls of the ancient Greeks. Adorning their walls with beautiful gardens and rolling hills was initially common but eventually these scenes became the backdrop for religious stories. Not until the Italian Renaissance in the sixteenth century was this technique revived, brought to height by Leonardo DaVinci's portraits" (he was well-known for adding landscapes into the background of his paintings of human subjects...).
Some of the most well-known landscape paintings, known world-wide include:
*Van Gogh:
'Starry Night Over the Rhône- 1888
'The Starry Night' - 1889
