Landscape Artists

Bob Ross
I really love Bob Ross, I used to watch his t.v. series as well. I just admired how he was able to create such detail in his paintings with relatively simple pain brush techniques, he even used his pallet knife. He was able to create trees and water with either a dab or a swipe, all with great detail and most within a half hour time period.
                                                                                                                                                             
                                             Parham Mill at Gillingham-John Constable          
The Opening of Waterloo Bridge seen from White Hall Stairs-John Constable

John Constable is an English Romantic Painter from 1776-1837, an older era artist, but still quite remarkable. I would love to be able to create such detail like this, everything is very strong and concise, absolutely marvelous.

                                                                                                                                                                   
                                      Tower Mill at Wijk bij Duurstede-Jacob Van Ruisdael
                                          Bentheim Castle- Jacob Van Ruisdael
Jacob Van Ruisdael was a Dutch landscape painter from about 1628-1682, his paintings are very detailed and relitivlely realistic. I would only dream of painting like Ruisdael.
