Landscape painting

Lanndscape painting is a style of painting that deals with showing landscapes. The landscapes can be natural ones, or those modified by humans. They can be real or imagined.

Other painting-styles include history painting, genre painting, portrait painting and still life. Landscaping is the art and process of modifying the visible features of an area of land to make it more attractive and functional. This involves a mix of living elements (softscape) like plants, trees, and lawns, and non-living elements such as paths, walls, patios, and water features.
