This is part one of two of a planned project that involves landscape painting, then weaving. In this lesson we will focus on painting a landscape with elements of a landscape composition, which include; sky, horizon line, middle ground, and foreground. We look to the impressionist painter Claude Monet and his contemporary Vincent Van Gogh to two painting they painted as a landscape. In our painting we are not so concerned with the details but we need to include a sky, a horizon line, and foreground with hopefully a middle ground to create depth. In Mr. Monet's painting he uses color in a unique way with his trees almost purple or lilac in hue. In Vincent's painting not only are his colors vibrant but the texture is impressive. His texture suggests movement in a way smooth paint would not. There are many different approaches to creating a landscape, find one that you really are excited to practice and make.
