Description
Acrylic landscape painting has recently achieved a success story in the modern-day art form. It’s brought thousands of young artists (and counting!) on the road to greatness. Here are the most popular 20th-century acrylic paintings that regularly offer the quality of “best-in-show”. Let’s scroll on and find more about this genre, significant pieces, and most renounced authors.
#1 Letting Go by Randy L. Honerlah
Everyone knows what Randy talks about in this painting. The abstraction of trees that rise to the heavens and shed their seeds, or a noble awakening to look up, breathe deeply, and extend consciousness of them.
We can learn from the nature of trees, staying grounded regardless of life’s obstacles. The value play of light and dark colors helps to represent these concepts. The breakdown of shapes, adjacent colors, and values in this work reveals these ideas and keeps them fresh and uplifting.
#2 The renowned acrylic landscape painting Lanterns by April M. Rimpo
What appears to be black at first glance is actually layers of purple, Phthalo Blue and other dark pigments to slowly create the darkest regions.
Cobalt Blue, Quinacridone Coral, and Quinacridone Gold were also used to match the lighter grays. By blending colors, Rimpo makes her own grays and blacks. The effect is much richer than using blacks or grays.
#3 Fancy Feathers by Cher Anderson Fancy
Feathers were the culmination of hours of waiting to catch the right moment when the flamingo raised its wing and revealed the continuum of qualities ranging from light, fluffy pink to dark black and any color in between.
His arched head and his preening of dark beaks created a dramatic effect and showed a seldom-seen elegance.
Acrylic paint gives the ability to coat very thin color washes and to create the form and form gradually for a seamless transition from light to dark.
#4 Bill by Michael Wagner
The skin tones in most acrylic landscape paintings are full of color and texture. Wagner finds it becoming more realistic and lush as he uses it lightly.
He painted Bill with a wide spectrum of color qualities, incorporating form and light to achieve a photorealistic appeal. The artist was interested in the detail evident in the lines, folds, and face

#5 Artificial Nature by Jingyi Wang
To Wang, cactus represent all natural creatures. The artist aims to convey the influence that human response has on nature through the clear and independent characteristics that the cactus represents.
The cast shadow in the background is actually a different image, which reflects the development of the cactus in an artificial, unnatural setting.
#6 Mellow Yellow #1 by Scott Ramsay
The high-key importance of this piece is very critical in setting the tone. Ramsay had made a determination to use dominant, vivid yellow principles before the acrylic landscape painting was ever envisaged.
The artist decided to use moist yellows encouraging the audience to draw in. Conversely, he used neutrally to punctuate the specifics of cool qualities in the darkness.
#7 Butterfly Effect by Yelena York
The butterfly effect is created freehand from the creativity of the artist himself. During the process every pattern was created. Before the piece was started nothing was sketched.

Albala’s tome is designed to improve your conception and visualization of landscapes. He goes about the business of explaining how to internally crop, simplify, and compose a landscape while relating it all to the immediate needs of both the plein air and studio artist. His tips and suggestions have realistic expectations (for instance he suggests slow and steady approaches, comments that under 50% of his plein air paintings are worthy of sale, etc.) and overall it is a very calm read intermixed with some very throughtful color text.The paintings that are interspersed through-out the text relate very well to the immediate material that he is discussing and photographs are also used to good effect to illustrate or reinforce what he is trying to teach. The layout of the book is extremely well done, with photos and painting having lengthy text reinforcing the subject matter. Many books have paintings that serve to inspire; Albala’s book has these as well, but they are accompanied by text and are always relevant.I work with pastel. The materials referenced in Landscape Painting are oil and acrylics. The majority of the info in the book is suitable for use with any medium, but about 20-24 of the 184 pages are used to discuss oil or acrylics. Given how completely focused this text is, you’ll not be disappointed if you are using another medium.It is also worth mentioning that there are many texts that are written by notable artists that don’t cover a fraction of what Mr. Albala is willing to share. This is not a self-promotional romp light in substance or picture book disquised as an instructional art book; the author knows the topic, has decades of experience, and is willing to share that knowledge in a very organized, structured way.

I am getting much more out of this book than the said bible of landscape painting :”Carlson’s guide to landscape painting” . Carlson’s is from 1928. Printed in black and white. This book is full of great prints of examples of painting in COLOR. It doesn’t have that old school idea of teaching. More inspiring than scolding. Anyone could enjoy it just for the pictures.
