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

The Aberdares are the third highest range of mountains in Kenya, reaching a summit of just over 4000m. This massive range is well known for its thick salient forests, and their prolific game.

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

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.

Landscape in a quiet secluded place, abandoned deserted village. Wildlife is reflected on the watery surface. Realistic painting on a square canvas, oil paint. Summer time green trees bushes leaves.

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. 

Autumn cityscape painting. Urban city, skyscraper buildings. Park landscape, yellow fall. Orange leaves. Cartoon cityscape illustration. Watercolor, oil paint. Water, pond, lake in autumn city park.

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