Can we have a thread where we post landscapes? I want inspiration of good ones and learn a thing or two. Feel free to post your own landscape paintings too and any resources that can help everyone who is doing them.
I will contribute a few I like a lot and maybe what I'm doing in a day or two.

Bierstadt is just waaay too good. So adding one more. Tried adding a different one but files can't be bigger than 4mb to upload here. Just google him for more I guess :)
>>2870923
Who's the artist? Google didn't find anything.
I'd like to start painting landscapes, but I'm a bit lost what to do, I guess value studies would be good practice? I've only really done figure drawings yet.

Actually you missed it by more than that. He drew as a child a lot, and actually started in oils a few years before he started learning under Lessing.
this one makes me happy

Why is the mid part of the river/sea more clear and reflecting than the rest. The water close to the boarders seems foggy or wavy in comparison.
Is that an stylistic choice? or is some kind of phenomenon?
>>2872364
It actually happens on rivers and lakes. I think it's from wind that causes very tiny ripples on parts so it makes it more matte in areas, and in other parts it is smoother and so can reflect more clearly. That's just a guess though on the cause, might be some other thing going on like different currents in the water causing it, but I've definitely observed it in real life.
Here's a couple examples of it photographed, maybe not the best examples but hte first ones I found:
