Landscape painting

Landscape painting is when an artist paints a picture of a place in the outdoors, like a field, mountain, lake, or forest. The artist will often use paints of different colors to recreate a scene of the landscape. They might use blues for water, greens for trees and plants, browns for rocks and dirt, and pinks, oranges, and yellows for sunsets and sunrises. Landscape paintings usually show a mix of different elements, like rocks, trees, and water, and they often use perspective to make the scene look realistic.
