  1. Creating Landscapes

  2. Landscape Art • Landscape is a genre of art dealing with the representation of natural scenery. • When creating a landscape the artist is faced with the challenge of creating the illusion of deep space on a flat surface. • An artist is not a camera that records every detail, and are not required to paint exactly what they see in front of them.

  3. Three Parts of a Landscape

  4. Tips for Creating Illusion • There are certain techniques you can use to assist you in creating deep space on a flat surface. • Changes in tone (how bright the colours are) • Changes in clarity • Changes in size • Cool colours go back, warm colours come forward • Overlap

  5. Changes in Tone • Tone refers to how bright the colours appear. For example, a distant mountain in the background appears paler (less bright) than the trees in the foreground.

  6. Changes in Clarity • Objects that are further away in the landscape will appear less defined.

  7. Changes in Size

  8. Colour Temperature • Colours change temperature as they move back in space. Cool colours are found in the background while warm colours come forward.
