    My favorite landscape is the rolling green hills of northern California (which we are missing due to the horrible drought).

  4. The sea and the sun inspire me the most. When there are sailing boats, seagulls and seashells the landscape/ seascape is almost complete :) I would love to see a lighthouse in there, too.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Well, for me it's the sun rising from the sea in the morning, with the sky full of busy seaguls :)

    ReplyDelete
  6. When I'm walking my horse on the trail, I'm always captivated by the allure of "S" shaped while the sun has lowered on the horizon, as the last light illuminates the color of leaves of the various trees...

    I'm always enjoy the allure of the setting sun when I"m on the beach...

  15. This class will be great fun! I love all kinds of landscapes, but most of all the places where there is a great variety. A walk in the forest and than suddenly an open field with corn or flowers. Perhaps both, the corn with poppies. But the lavender fields in the Provence can make me very happy too.
    I hope I will be one of the lucky ones. I will keep my fingers crossed.

  16. any Van Gogh landscape ��

  17. I love the west coastal area with hills and glens in Scotland. The amount of colour differentiation in the same range is unbelievable. And the sea is just around almost every bend.
    Thanks for this opportuniny.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I love the vineyard landscape which surrounds me on my daily walk..often with camera at hand. Our valley changes colour with each season and just now frothy greens are everywhere as the vines burst into leaf. Some new ideas about how to capture this beauty would be so wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Mountains or tree filled landscapes are what really do it for me...and ocean scenes...the mermaid in my heart longs for the sea...thanks so much for the opportunity...

    ReplyDelete
  20. Soft hills with fields, small forests and meadows and a few farm houses are my favorite landscapes.

    Nature has always inspired me as well. I love the rock beach on the shores of nearby Lake Erie as well as the trails with the leaves changing colour on Merritt Island with the Welland Canal on the one side and the Welland River on the other. Then there's the outcropping of the rocks of the Canadian Shield along the highways driving into northern Ontario. The landscapes all around me inspire :). I would love to win a spot in your class.
    Stay inspired!

  24. Mountains lakes and forests impress me but really love pretty fields full of colourful flowers. Thank you Alisa

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love a landscape that has deep colors - ones that come to mind are the endless green fields in Ireland on a rainy day, or (not sure if this is a landscape) but under the water (sea/ocean) with all the different blue hues, the deep rich browns/reds of rocks in Arizona ... I have been to none of these places - but the imagery in my mind speaks volumes - perhaps it relates to an emotion - just calmness...... short answer - any landscape that is deep in color and is calming to the soul.... sorry I had to put you through that process of my answer.

  36. I can't wait to follow my first online class with you Alisa. I think it will be a lot of fun along with a lot of training. What I like much about landscapes are those with trees and also with ancient homes, even when they are discarded like ruins. I have bought quite a few canvas ready to be 'dressed'.
    Thanks a lot for everything you share with us regularly. They are so inspiring and funny enough it always corresponds with my own timing to do things, especially as we live close to a beach. Sometime I just can't believe it!

    Help! :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. When I was young I thought that the area I lived in was the ugliest place on earth. Now that I am (a lot) older I am so in love with the landscapes around me. I am in a corner where boreal forest meets Cambrian Shield, surrounded by jackpine, tamarack, poplar, and birch trees, granite rock, scrub bush, bush swamp, hints of prairie and a slice of a river that cuts through hundreds of miles in my country. I call it a quiet beauty. And I am wild to know how to capture it and share it.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I live landscapes of countryside fitted with houses, lighthouses, and barns.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Fall landscapes and landscapes with rocks

    ReplyDelete
  58. A field of wildflowers with a blue, blue sky.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Oh, this is a hard one because landscapes are my favourite, but most often, when I paint, I have this big meadow strung with colorful flowers and trees peeking in the back on a sunny, warm day. Most of the landscapes I paint are of nature in spring, summer and fall, but not in winter because it's bleak and I am dependent on color and sunshine. It sounds like a fantastic class Alisa. Thank you for the opportunity!

  79. Hi Alisa! I have to say it's difficult to choose my favorite type of landscape, but these days a lot of my inspiration comes from my daily commute to and from work; the sky changes, the light changes, the tress and the color of the leaves, then there is snow .... it's always the same drive but it's always different.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Foggy mystical meadows with some trees and bushes in the distance and a lake shore at the sunset, as there are a lot of beautiful lakes here in Lithuania, where I live.

    ReplyDelete
  85. It is a tie for me. I am equally inspired by both the mountains (specifically the White Mountains of NH at any time of year but especially autumn!) and the ocean (specifically our beautiful and varied New England coastline). When I am either in the mountains or along the shore I can breathe deep and feel peace and calm wash over me. Truly inspiring!

    I love landscape. It is so hard to capture the breadth and feel of a landscape...I guess much like a photo does not do the same justice. I like the idea of painting a landscape, as the emotion can be put in as experienced by the artist. Love your blog, you are truly inspirational and trans-formative for me. I would count myself as lucky as winning a lottery if I won a spot in your class.

    ReplyDelete
  119. I like seascapes and the wide open spaces of the plains. The class sounds fantastic!

  124. We recently drove from Northern California to Wagpeton, North Dakota! I loved all the different landscapes along the way! What fascinated me the most was the rolls of hay everywhere! In California they are rectangle bales of hay! So the different shape was surprising how they do different things in the farming world!

  125. Most definitely, the ocean inspires me whenever I can get to it. ❤️ But since I live away from the ocean right now, I am often inspired closer to home by the two rivers that meet in my city.

  141. I live on the East Coast near the beach. A tiny coastal town in Atlantic Highlands, NJ. The ocean, the sailboats, and especially the sunset inspire me every day, every morning, every evening that I see it. Just to breathe the air... there's nothing better and I wish I could come close to capture that feeling through a photo, sketch, or painting. Your "bathed in gold" post last week was amazing.

  154. I can never decide which I love more, mountain views or ocean scenes. I live surrounded by mountains, so I spend a lot of time longing for the sea, but if I lived by the sea, the tables would probably be turned.

  155. This looks so fun! Landscapes with water are peaceful and reflective for me....the sea...a lake....a stream...a pond

  156. I love the Fall leaves surrounded by water and the Rocky Mountains have a place in my heart also.

  157. I love the views of hills and mountains in the distants. Growing up in a flat country (the Netherlands), we went on summer vacation in France, just seeing the mountains rise in the distance meant we were nearing our destination and a summer full of fun and sun. Now I'm living in Scotland and the view of Bennachie means home to me.

    Having spent the last dozen years in Key West, I just returned from an autumn trip up north. All those rich warm colors were amazing! Fiery trees, golden corn fields, brilliant mums. Completely inspiring!

  175. The ocean landscape always. It is always changing but always beautiful no matter what the season. It is where I have healed from my miscarriage earlier this year. Always the ocean is my favourite.

  177. For me it's a pastoral valley view with mountains or the sea in the distance.

  178. Field of flowers with mountains in the background and a old barn for interesting structure.

    ReplyDelete
  179. Any landscape with water, sunsets, and trees. But fields of flowers are good, too. Really any landscape.

  183. I love the Blue October skies, with rolling mountains of ever changing colors. Monet's paintings always call to my heart the way his brush strokes move the light on his landscapes. I would love to learn how to paint landscapes.

    ReplyDelete
  184. I love landscapes with curves and splatters of light. And contrast. I would love to take a class!

  185. Without question it's the beach/ocean for me. We lived on the beach for a few years and the beauty and peace it offered each day is something that continues to inspire.

  187. I like the patterns sunlight makes, either shooting through the clouds or filtering through leaves or hitting the white bark of a sycamore - I don't know that those count as landscapes, exactly, but close enough

    ReplyDelete
  188. What a great idea! Anything with the water--ocean, rivers, bays--inspires me the most.

    ReplyDelete
  189. Me? I like countryside Impressionism landscapes.....I like nature scenes......water, trees, groundcover, anything you would find in a Pacific-side forrest on the north end of the California coast.

    Gosh so hard to pick! It is ALL SO BEAUTIFUL! But if I have to choose.. probably the coastline and mountain landscapes. Little nooks and crannies and big wide open spaces.. Love it!

    Favorite landscape would have to be flower fields (a lot of them don't exist anymore or are quite different now though due to climate :( ) But by far one of my favorite things to paint. Such color!!
    Thank you Alisa.

  194. I've never thought about my favorite type of landscape and now that I do, it's hard to narrow it down. But I do love the layers of a landscape, where you can see a little peek into a far off place. This would be a really fun class!!

    I love landscapes with paths. They add an element of mystery to the painting!

    ReplyDelete
  196. Beautiful landscape! It's always fun to watch you painting with your mini me at your side. :) I tend to paint abstract landscapes more often than realistic. But I am drawn to the colors and shapes of a seaside landscape.

    ReplyDelete
  197. We moved to the Rockies a few years ago and the high desert/mountain landscape is so beautiful. I'd love to capture some of that beauty in my art, but landscapes are outside my comfort zone. This class is on my wish list!
