Landscape Paintings By Famous Artists

Many of us will be tempted to think that landscape painting is an exact replication of the landscape an artist sees right before him. The exact numbers of physical features such as hills, the exact number of living features such as plants or humans, and the exact character of abstract elements such as sunlight or rain. This, however, is never the case. Just like any other painting, which involves the artist's personal intuitions, a landscape painting is an expression of what the artist wants to see. And contrary to the popular belief that landscape paintings are made outdoors, artists usually prefer to do their work indoors. They usually make rough sketches outdoors, and then fill out the painting more slowly in their studios.
