Why Pick Warm Colors for the Upcoming Landscape Art Contest

“A landscape painting is essentially emotional in origin. It exists as a record of an effect in nature whose splendour has moved a human heart…”

-         Walter J. Phillips 

Landscape art has always been there to enamour the artists and the viewers alike when it comes to express beauty at its best. Through landscape art an artist not only paints but weaves a fairytale around us, from the sun-kissed dawn to the snow-caped mountain cliffs.  Amidst the myriad hues and colors, we get to experience masterpieces like Van Gogh, Matisse, large landscape painting by Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, and more contemporary landscape artists like Eric Hanson to capture the true essence of nature - our mother earth.

If you are an artist primarily focused on landscape painting, and if you are eyeing at the most promising landscape painting competition organized by an esteemed art gallery like TERAVARNA, then you need to have some super-cool ideas as to how to go about the compositions. Streamline strategies for the coming landscape art contest revamping your palette a bit. This time, choose the warm colors over the pastel ones and see the vibrancy dance on the canvas like a shaft of ray.  Read this blog through to the end and know the intrigues of the vibrant hues. Your art is just a few steps ahead to win the gallery wall space! Just stick around!

5 Reasons to Use Warm Colors: Make Your Landscape Study Stand from the Clutter

Art platforms like TERAVARNA organize online art contests to encourage painters, artists, sculptors, visual artists, etc. to immortalize the beauty of landscapes through their artistic interpretations. Whether you are more adaptable to abstract landscape art or modern landscape painting or happier to go with en plein air study, these platforms help increase your visibility as a landscape artist to get responses from a worldwide viewership. Isn’t that just great! 

Why Warm Colors are Preferred for Landscape Watercolor Painting and Acrylics?

Let your imagination run wild and observation merge seamlessly while creating beautiful landscape art, no matter if it's watercolor, acrylic, or oil-based paints.

1.        Warm Colors are the Power Houses of Vibrancy and Brightness

Go beyond the stereotypes and rule the contest with your warm and bright canvases just too intriguing to ignore. Paint your horizons of imagination with the uses of orange, chrome yellow and red, rust and vermilion in adequate proportion to enhance the appeal of the sceneries.

2.  Warm Colors can Make the Canvas Look Real and Credible

Warm colors jolt our senses very fast, unlike any neutral color palette. They are perfect to make the lifeless canvas look animated! Heat, fire, sun and blood have always been the greatest inspirations for the bright hues in art and design. The hearty combination of red, yellow, orange, and pink, has fuelled artists’ imagination ever. These colors are filled with warmth and intimacy, best captured in colorful paprika, pumpkins, warm-colored flowers like sizzling sunflowers, or the color palette of orangish and yellowish-brown shaded leaves of maple, oak, etc. casting an intimate shadow during the fall. You can use them to make the objects in the landscape look almost real-life.

3.  Warm Colors Evoke Mood in Your Art Canvases

Are you someone obsessed with red? Do you know that a bit of red-purple or burgundy used in your landscape painting can make it look more passionate and animated? Ignite your love for hues and embrace all of the bright tints to make it look like a celebration just like a vibrant forest painting by Eric Hanson. She follows the impasto technique of Vincent Van Gogh, the master of landscape art. In one of her paintings of a thick forest in Aspen, she uses the thick strokes of oil color on canvas that showcases the beauty of the forest, and the enchanting pine trees there. She suggests the autumnal beauty of the season, with the bright-hued leaves of the trees in Aspen.

4.  Make Your Palette Dynamic for Abstract Landscape Art with Warm Hues

No matter if it’s a landscape to paint or create, you can as well integrate abstract elements into the flow of your storytelling. Vibrant shades can do wonders in abstract landscape art, as we have seen in Wassily Kandinsky or Jackson Pollock’s abstract canvases. Create more inspiring non-representational art to transform moods and spaces using great contrasts of black and white landscape painting with the luminous colors.

5.  Create Some Iconic Landscapes with Bright Shades

You can draw inspiration from some of the world’s iconic landscapes that have inspired landscape artists time and time over.

Get inspired from the breathtaking geographical wonders like the Grand Canyon in the USA, with contrasting hues and textures.

If you wish to draw a serene landscape with misty skies, waterbodies, and welcoming hills in the backdrop, you can take cues from the Lake District in the UK.  

For the ideal warmth and vibrancy, you can paint the Italian Amalfi Coast. It is ideal for capturing the coastal beauty with dreamy cliffs.

Even for the jungle safari-seekers, Serengeti Forest in Africa can be a rare landscape model. Capture the interplay of light and shadow of the vast plains with bright hues to energize the canvas.

Boost Your Chances of Winning Online Landscape Painting Competition with Better Color Sense:

Organizers like TERAVARNA art gallery makes an artist aware of preserving the sanctity of the natural universe through participating in landscape themed contests. Smart indeed! Warmer tones help to enhance your creation adding vitality and warmth to everything they touch upon. So, pick up your brush and stylus to let the colors blend well with the sceneries.

What are the Merits of Joining Juried Landscape Art Competitions?

Artists and painters always have a fascination for landscape portrayals and compositions. The love for landscape has its prehistoric roots in the ancient caves and stone walls, with the cave dwellers painting wild bison and calves on the rugged terrains in Spain or ancient Africa, mesmerizing us even today. Landscape painting originally can be traced back to the Greek frescos of Santorini, till the word ‘Landscape’ got much popularity in the nineteenth century. If you are an artist or painter who wishes to have your landscape paintings featured on some of the prestigious juried art shows and landscape painting competition, here are some significant things to consider. Read this blog thoroughly till the end to know how the juried shows on landscape art can give you the much-needed focus and attention, in the new-found ways of landscape portrayal & representation. Here you go -

Contemporary online art platforms like TERAVARNA enhance the networking skills and community building opportunities for the artists and influencers. Not only recognition, artists would also enjoy grants and cash prizes for the showcase of their artworks, if they got selected by the jurors.

Recognition for Landscape Painting and Showcase on the Walls

Once your artwork, be it a large landscape painting or an abstract landscape art gets selected amidst all the other works of art, it feels good to be recognized for all the efforts. In case of themed art competitions like landscape, abstract, or other theme-based shows, there are specialist curators, critics and experts who judge the artworks according to relevance, creativity, and niche skills of an artist. Working with prestigious and esteemed art galleries like TERAVARNA adds more miles, acknowledgement, and credibility to a landscape artist’s portfolio. They can use this experience for future shows and exhibitions.

Motivation and Encouragement of Excellence for Landscape Artworks

The competitive nature of the art shows inspires the artists to put their best skills, innovate techniques, play with forms like non-representational forms, abstract landscape art, black and white landscape painting, etc. It is like pushing the limits of your creativity to end up with something awe-inspiring and remarkable to boost art portfolios.

Unconventional Twist to Landscape Paintings and Compositions

An artist can try improvising techniques like impasto techniques used by Vincent Van Gogh to represent a dense forest or can use the color-field techniques by Mark Rothko to depict an urban landscape. They can always build on the impressionist or abstract expressionism ideas for landscape arts, blending their own perspectives and philosophies. It breathes diversity to the genre and helps other artists to build their canvases with confidence and creative twists.

Feedbacks from Juried Panels Help the Landscape Artists to Grow

Participation in juried art programs and shows prepares an artist in various ways other than just showcasing their artworks on the panel. They learn to prepare artist’s statements, to frame artworks artistically and professionally for a neat presentation. Proper feedback from juried panels and critics can even guide the landscape artist and make room for further improvements, honing their skills.

Having Knowledge of Modern Landscape Painting and Mixing Medias through Art Shows

Participating artists get to know about the contemporary trends, market dynamics for landscape portrayals, work on modern landscape painting techniques, and research on a handful of relevant aspects to make their urban landscape art or a conventional nature portrayal, look appealing. There are various art workshops, panel discussions, art talks organized by reputed art galleries like TERAVARNA so that the artists can know the latest innovations in the genre, like learning how to integrate other media with landscape art. Like, mixing landscape watercolor painting with a piece of sculpture.

Networking and Community Building for the Landscape Artists

One can never ignore the need for networking and community building for an artist to survive in a competitive art marketplace. These juried art shows bring artists, collaborators, influencers, and buyers in the same platform and help them interact to make the whole artistic endeavor a valuable one. They can share ideas within a group of landscape artists, and can reach out to a greater viewership through this conscious effort of art promotion.

Grabbing the Focus and Expanding Reach for Landscape Art Showcase

Established art galleries often look out for fresh talents, so these art shows can be one of the viable sources for a talent hunt, and make great collaborations with influencers and buyers. If someone likes maritime themes or themes of the jungle, a marine landscape or a forest portrayal would be great for thematic collections. Curators also make out the best artworks and promise them future shows or further networking with the art fraternity.

Grants and Cash Rewards for the Chosen Landscape Artworks

Without an incentive, no one can run faster. It is also true for artists eyeing for sales. Juried shows and competitions often confer cash rewards and grants for the emerging landscape artists in landscape painting competitions like the ones organized by TERAVARNA, the renowned contemporary online art gallery.

Conclusion:

Through the visibility of art exhibitions, artists can rope in more sales, as landscape painting is the most popular genre of art with mass universal appeal. Collectors and curators have always loved the vivid portrayal of languid riverside, sunsets, boats on lonesome rivers, silhouettes of trees, etc. to resonate with the masses. For landscape artists, the art not only survives on the gallery walls but also makes room in the million hearts of the viewers.

I love painting dreamy landscapes 💝 I recently redid my website a lil bit, making it easier to navigate what’s for sale. This painting is available for purchase on there. I’m running a 20% off sale site wide! 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 : 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝟐𝟎 (link in bio) ✨

So I recently went to Central Park to sell my art and it was so much fun! I’m super avoidant of people so it was a big step in my art career. This is the first time ever selling in person. I got to meet so many wonderful people. It’s so nice to know my work is in loving homes. 💖
