2-D Art - Landscapes (sorry, couldn't come up with anything more original)

RULES

Lets try and keep this fresh. The idea here is the physical manipulation of mediums in real life.

1. Any work of art or variation thereof which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest.

2. Works must be your original work and ones that have never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that you are the sole copyright owner of.
2a. No submitting works for other people, for friends, etc. Your OWN work, very simple.

3. Only one work may be entered per contest.

4. All entries must be free of watermarks, signatures and borders

5. Entries must be no wider than 700 and no higher than 700.

6. Photoshop use is allowed , however,
6a. No complete photographs; i.e. pieces of photos/images may be used as long as the manipulation is obvious; there will be a suitable thread for your 100% manipulated/photoshopped photographs (in the near future).

7. Please include the original dimensions of your work, the mediums used, and any other info you feel is relevant. (your piece's pertinence to the theme is optional)


8. Deadline for entries is 12am eastern on the posted deadline date.

9. Voting ends at 12am eastern on the posted end date.

10. Post your entries in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on.

11. Don't be a dummy and vote for your own work, try and make it fun.

If you have a problem with another contestant's entry adhering to the contest guidelines, please PM the forum moderators. Do not try to begin a debate about the issue within the contest submission or poll thread! There will be zero tolerance towards any attempts to devolve a contest thread into a bash-fest or witch hunt.

We will pick the next theme and post it the night a contest ends for the next round so people have a full 14 days to produce something and submit it. After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over the following 3 days (12am Sunday - 12am Wednesday).

Those who wish to participate in sharing larger images of their works (for desktop wallpaper use, for instance) may do so by providing a link only to the full sized version in the same post as their entry.

Thank you and have fun!


Please submit your entries in this thread and a mod will re-post them when voting starts in a separate voting thread.
 
I thought I might have already used this one, but after checking I don't think I have.

Lovely pic. I always half expect a little bambi to come walking across that landscape (that's a compliment btw). It has a very surreal, yet real look about it. Very intriguing. I love the way the warm sky sweeps across it too. I don't think it would work so well without it. It lends it that element of comfort.

I dont have a scanner so some of my pictures are hard to discern elements. It is a fairy tale fantasy background. pencil on computer paper.

Not technically "land" but hopefully this will suffice.

Sorry about it being slightly blurry... that'd be my failure at scanning.
 
I don't know why i bother entering with the talent on thos place (QE thats just beautiful - once again :)) but i like sharing so here is one of my landscapes... kinda... i like trees...

It's acrylic on canvas with q-cell on the front tree with an oil glaze over the whole thing. I liked it before the glaze better but my teacher liked it with a glaze so i left it and didnt take a pic before the glaze was added

^We must both be missing out, I've never heard the term either.

I love this forum, its always so nice seeing all the talent here.
 
Q-Cell is a paste that you can mix with paint to change it's colour (it's usually white) or can mix with water to make less thick but it's used to make a 3D effect cos it hardens and "comes out" - does that make sense? Maybe i have spelt it wrong? :P
