Albert Bierladt's Rocky Mountain Landers Peak
In the painting, Rocky Mountain Landers Peak,the artist Albert Biersladt used elements of art in his painting. I noticed he used value through the color green, its darker and lighter shadings throughout the painting. The artist also showed atmospheric perspective. He created an illusion of distance by reducing color saturation and less detail in the background. He also manipulated warm and cool colors to show more of a hazy atmosphere above the horizon line. Overall the artist, Albert Biersladt painted a beautiful painting he also showed great elements of

    The photograph is, in my opinion, a good image for a variety of reasons. I love the variations of texture between the stone in the foreground, water, and the softness of the sky in the background. As a whole the photo is tied together with an almost monochromatic color scheme. There is a lot of horizontal movement from the edges of mountains, with a strong vertical from the figure…

    Even though she uses one mountain as the main focus, in the background there are other mountains and road leading into the distance. In the forefront of the painting there are trees and the road. I think that balance is more informal or asymmetrical because of the main focus of the one mountain, but somehow…

    Refiring back to the painting by Von Guerard called Mt William it is distinguish obvious that it is an Australian painting truly based on the Australian mountain ‘Mt William’ in Victoria. From the visual of the painting, the colours he has chosen are bland yet very particular, there are a lot of shade of red, browns, dark greens which incorporate an Australian feel to the painting. The way he has included a use of space making the picture views as a dry, vast land makes it genuinely obvious that it is representing…

    The prime focus of this piece is Mt.Hood, which is centered in the middle of the picture plane halfway up the canvas. The mountain in the piece is opaque as there are no t-intersections within it. Behind the mountain various tones of orange, red, purple, and yellow are used to create a stunning sunset. Underneath the mountain, short straight strokes of numerous shades of green, blue, orange, and purple were used to create an image of thousands and thousands of trees. Close to halfway on the canvas, the image of Mt.Hood, the sunset, and the rows of trees is reflected on the water of Trillium Lake. Tehan utilizes the same colors she used in the top half of the canvas to create the reflection on the water. Centered on the bottom of the canvas towards the left side of the piece is a railing painted using various tones of brown, black, purple, yellow, pink, and orange. Tehan's delicate use of her pallet knife allowed her to create straight geometric lines for the railing. It also allowed her to give the railing an illusory texture.…

    Mount Analogue is a vivid, bright and wonderfully detailed traditionally set out interpretation of a real landscape. The artwork is set up in 165 small canvas boards placed together to create a massive scaled artwork (279x571cm.) In the foreground we are positioned on the rocky face of a cliff along with five other hikers painted very small staring out into a massive mountain range stretching very far to a clear horizon line and to a small strip of blue sky. The oil stick and polymer paint used is able to make the white’s brown’s and oranges of the slightly snow covered mountains stand out quite brightly against the dark rocks in the foreground. Shapes, textures and lines of the mountains in this artwork are very realistic through the use of small brushes with detailed and precise strokes, and though Robinson uses the same methods to paint we are given a very different perspective of ‘landscape.’…

    In the background are the pitch black perennial Mountains and a pearl colored half moon. Like the piece Music Pink and Blue it is a oil painting however her earlier painting consists of pastel colors that blend into each other, rather than the dark separated colors found in Ladder to the Moon. This painting was very similar to a picture taken of O'Keeffe and her surroundings at Ghost Ranch so, she was inspired by an image unlike a feeling in wich she used to create many art pieces in her early years as an artist. This painting also symbolizes something and carries a message to its viewer rather than a strong…

    As seen in the painting, one of the attractive features is certainly the portrayal of the enormous mountains with masses of plantations on top. Fan Kuan painted the mountains with firm brushstrokes besides having irregular and uneven outlines along the slopes. It is also known that he has used texture strokes ‘brush dabs like raindrops’ in the mountains (Rhonda 1998), thereby…

    Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. Since it is 29,035 feet and has avalanches, crevasses, strong winds and is very steep, it makes it very difficult to climb. Not only is it hard to climb, imagine how hard it would be being disabled. The quote, “ Some people succeed because they are destined, but most people succeed because they are determined” really describes Mark Inglis, Erik Weihenmeyer, and Arunima Sinha.…

    The mountains of endless boundaries transcended the earth to the heavens as the water and sun created its tangibility. Dispositions of light allowed an elaborate portrayal of the perfect environment. Albert Bierstadt, a German-born, American artist, had the ability to convey such beauties of nature and its landscape through his paintings. In 1863, through a premier in the "New York Sanity Fair", his painting, "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak", provided a different outlook on the American West. As a region styled artist, Bierstadt utilized oil-based paint on canvas in such a way that permitted his audience to not only see nature, but to feel it as well.…
