Landscape Drawings and Watercolor Paintings for Sale on 1stDibs
Landscape drawings and watercolors show the world through the lenses of different cultures and perspectives. They were also incredibly important for displaying natural scenes before the invention of photography.
You can welcome peace and serenity into the confines of a living room or bedroom if landscape drawings and watercolors are part of the art that you choose to bring into a space. There are many ways to effectively arrange art on your walls so that you’re maximizing your wall space while introducing works created in this diverse genre to your home or apartment. Large walls, for example, need to be filled with prints and paintings. Small pieces on an expansive surface can look lost and isolated, so don’t be afraid to go big with one sizable work. Another good option is to create a grouping of pieces, and a spacious wall allows you to spread them out, gallery style.
Watercolor landscapes have a rich history dating back to ancient China, where they dominated painting genres by the late Tang dynasty. Ink-on-silk paintings in China featured mountains and large bodies of water as far back as the third century. The Netherlands was home to landscapes as a major theme in painting as early as the 1500s, and by the Renaissance, watercolors had made their way to the West and into European culture, becoming a staple of decorative art.
It wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that watercolor paints became more widely available and embedded in fine arts. Despite their broad distribution today, some artists have chosen to revive the old craft of preparing their own watercolor pigments, paying homage to the medium’s roots.
The variety of brush combinations and painting methods makes watercolor landscapes some of the most stunning pieces in any collection. Find landscape drawings and watercolors on 1stDibs.
