Landscape Research

For the landscape pictures i wanted to find paintings of iconic London landscapes, such as Trafalgar square, London eye, and various parks. I wanted the theme to be iconic London because i knew that the best landscapes i could find where ones of iconic settings.
As i was searching on the Internet for any famous painters or painting of London landscapes i came across a few that i really loved the look of. 

One was this one of the royal Albert hall, i loved the use of colour and almost abstract feel of the painting. I also really liked how the artists didn't use, the whole of the building, like conventional paintings but he only captured half of the royal hall and also parts of a tree and other buildings.

The other ones i found where these of parks. i especially like how the path way is in the main focus in both but i also like the diagonal point of view from the second painting. i chose these paintings because they offer a wider view of the beauty nature has to offer. i also chose parks because London is full of iconic parks such as Hyde park, st Jame's, and regents.


The last few i found were these of the more known iconic London landmarks. The top one is a beautiful bright painting of the London eye and he one bellow is more a a duskier, warmer painting of Trafalgar square. i knew these would be easier to imitate because they are such iconic parts of London.
