Drawing Landscapes

Product Information

You’ll find a wide collection beautiful landscape artwork in our online gallery incorporating each of these styles to suit your preference. Depending on the time of the day, the weather and the time of the year you decide, the landscape drawing can create a completely different feeling for the viewer.

The decisive shift to a monochrome landscape style, almost devoid of figures, is attributed to Wang Wei (699-759), also famous as a poet; mostly only copies of his works survive.Other painters who never crossed the Alps could make money selling Rhineland landscapes, and still others for constructing fantasy scenes for a particular commission such as Cornelis de Man's view of Smeerenburg in 1639. Once I am happy with the proportions I can use the broad-stroke pencil method to shade in the various zones within the scene.

I have broken down how I approached those landscape sketches, so you can get an insight into my though process.Themistokles von Eckenbrecher (German, 1842–1921), View of Lærdalsøyri, on the Sognefjord, 1901 Dong Yuan (934 – 962) Dongtian Mountain Hall ( Chinese: 洞天山堂圖). However, the outsides of the wings of a triptych by Gerard David, dated to "about 1510-15", are the earliest from the Low Countries, and possibly in Europe. Landscape views in art may be entirely imaginary, or copied from reality with varying degrees of accuracy. In this blog post, I explain the reasons you should sketch before you paint, I cover the materials you will need and I demonstrate step-by-step two landscape drawings.
