Landscape and City
Landscapes represent views of natural scenery or countryside, and these depictions I create rarely.
Cityscapes are landscapes with focus on man-made features: urban landscape, city scenes, representations of parts of cities and towns, and other urban areas.
Waterscape is a representation of a body of water in pictures, or any image in which an expanse of water is a dominant feature, as in a riverscape (river scene) or a seascape (marine).
Skyscapes are representations of the sky, usually with outlined terrestrial objects, but also without any view of land. Some phenomena might be included: clouds, precipitation, rainbows, leaves, birds, insects and other flying objects, manmade aircraft, kites, and balloons.
Sometimes I go to sketch and paint outside, usually with a group of artists.
En plein air is the act of painting outdoors, in direct or diffused light.
This method was practiced by some of my favorite artists: Paul Cézanne, Valentin Serov, Claude Monet, Konstantin Korovin, Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vasily Polenov, Isaac Levitan, and Igor Grabar.
