Rationale

Waking up surrounded by Aberdare Ranges, breakfast against the backdrop of flowering seems that one can only dream of this.

However, with the help of landscape murals, you can actually “remove” the walls in your apartment.

And fill it with fresh air, “grow” a whole forest or “fill in” with sea waves.

You can’t even imagine what kind of effect such a finish has.

Landscape murals are not just beautiful and relevant at all times.

They also produce a positive psychological effect, and relaxation, and give a sense of harmony.

Choose landscapes by the style of the painting

The world of landscape painting is known for being a space where you can express what you seek to convey according to different techniques.

In this way, you can say that the types of landscapes according to style refer to much more than the personal taste of the painter.

As artistic currents emerged over time, we used to see such or such types of landscapes.

Let’s see how landscapes are classified according to some of the most relevant styles in art:

Realistic landscape painting

This is the simplest and most elemental landscape painting style.

In realistic landscape paintings, artists focus on showing or depicting the landscapes as they were observed.

And in the literal sense, “ realism” is an artistic style that truthfully and objectively reproduces reality in all its details.

The great achievement of this type of landscape is to make a painting compare with real life.

And as you can imagine, it requires great skill with the technique to achieve textures, proportions, and lighting just as we see it with our eyes.

In that sense, it is clear that there is no place for fictitious scenarios in this type of landscape.

And no extraordinary colors, unrealistic filters, or effects. Just like looking at a photograph!

One factor in the development of realism was the advent of photography.

Photography has since become an art form, claiming the complete truthfulness of the image.

Impressionist landscape

Impressionist landscape painting are representations in which the artists show a scenario of reality through their interpretation.

Where drawing a forest does not require precision or exact reproduction, since the artist tries to capture the moment in the way he appreciated it.

To achieve this type of landscape, different methods and techniques are used.

Some of which are the application of atypical colors, lighting, shadows, and contrasts.

Likewise, it is not expected to reach identical textures to those of the elements. But each artist achieves his figures in different ways.

Abstract landscape painting

With this type of landscape painting , the artist has the freedom to express their creativity without limits.

Because they are free to alter the natural settings that exist, as well as to create their imaginary settings.

Abstract landscape art can be done without any symbolic meaning.

However, there are also cases where the abstraction represents an idea or expresses the artist’s inner emotions

In this way, abstract landscape painting show landscapes intentionally different from those we can witness daily.

They are intended to be impressive and make you question reality.

Therefore, to develop these types of landscapes, artists are free to use exaggerated forms, unrealistic colors, and textures.

As well as any element that allows them to express and materialize their ideas.

Types of landscape paintings determined by elements

You already know the types of landscape painting according to the artistic trend to which they belong!

But as you can imagine, we can find different ways to compose a scene in each style of painting. And these components are also known as elements.

Now, if you are wondering how landscapes are classified according to the elements that compose them, take note of the following types of landscapes:

Nature landscape painting

In this type of landscape painting, the leading role is played by the natural setting.

The objective is that the artists, thanks to a previous observation process, reproduce or interpret the beauty of nature.

The most used natural landscape elements are forests, jungles, and deserts.

The naturalistic landscape is one of the types of landscapes that focus on representing abundant, great, and wild nature.

Urban landscape or city landscape

As we have seen, landscape art is usually related only to scenes of nature.

And the artist can show the scenes that most excite him.

Taking this into account, it is clear that urban and everyday landscapes are valid.

These focus on the settings, environments, and elements of cities, such as people, buildings, cars, and lights.

Of course, these are loaded with the messages that the artist wants to convey.

Rural landscape

In this type of landscape painting, the typical scenarios of the development of agricultural activity are shown.

Where crops, fruit trees, cattle, and rustic houses can be seen.

And therefore this variety of landscapes is usually loaded with a lot of nature.

But it concentrates more on portraying the life of people in the countryside.

Dreamscape

This kind of landscape painting is also known as a cosmic landscape and it is a fantastic, magical, and unreal landscape.

The dreamscape combines imaginary or dream scenarios with elements of reality, such as forests or cities.

In addition, in dreamscape drawings, it is common to see themes related to space, as well as supernatural elements.

River landscape

Do you like rivers or lakes and have you thought about portraying them in landscape painting? Great!

River landscape art is for you, as it focuses on portraying the following bodies of water: rivers, lakes, waterfalls, or aquifers. Without a doubt, it is a spectacular work!

Some artists also highlight the sky and its various shades to add more beauty to their work.

Seascape – coastal

In the seascape type of landscape painting, everything related to marine life is given prominence: oceans, beaches, and seas.

Also, in this type of landscape, artists can take advantage of colors, tones, and textures to represent the majesty of marine life.

Some artists also highlight the sky and its various shades to add more beauty to their work.

Desert landscape painting

Among the types of landscape painting in the art that are classified by their structure or elements, we find the desert landscape.

These paintings are characterized by portraying arid and mostly sunny climate environments.

The main characteristic of this type of landscape is the presence of large masses of sand that change color in different shades according to the time of day that is sought to be represented.

The paintings that reflect desert landscapes generally have sparse vegetation, with a slight or moderate presence of prickly pears and cardoons, also known as cacti.

In some of these types of landscapes, you can also find dromedary animals.

The landscape of savannah and plains

Surely you have seen this type of landscape in more than one movie. But it is also very common in mural paintings.

They are characterized by the presence of a large horizon made up of sparse vegetation (at ground level), some trees, and the presence of lagoons.

In the case of plains and savannah landscapes, their elements will depend exclusively on the season that is sought to be portrayed.

Since in summer, the droughts are long and dye everything in yellow and orange colors due to the lack of water. In the winter, on the contrary, some foliage turns green.

Traditional landscape painting

When we talk about types of traditional landscape painting, we are no longer interested in the environment itself. But rather the main elements of the painting are the characters that materialize a custom or tradition of a time or society.

Of course, the environment is part of the meaning of this type of landscape. But what you must seek as a final objective is to transmit culture.

In this way, you will see traditional architecture, native vegetation, and people carrying out activities that today we consider part of the tradition of the place.
