THE 5 W’s OF MOUNTAIN, FOREST & RIVER PAINTINGS

1. What Are Mountain, Forest & River Paintings?

Artworks depicting mountains, forests and rivers honour nature through visual means. They usually show major scenery such as high mountain tops, large green expanses of forests, running water, valleys filled with fog, colourful sunsets, reflections of still water around the edges of the slope, and changing colour during the different seasons of the year.

Canvas and acrylic landscapes each enhance the appearance of their paint type by adding depth, texture and realism. An acrylic painting adds bright, vibrant colours that capture the detail of the natural scene, whereas a canvas landscape will give it an authentic feel, as a canvas is generally thicker than acrylics.

In the world of interior design, nature has become an inspiration for creating a calming and peaceful atmosphere in any home. Using natural-themed artwork in the design is also a great source of inspiration for creating a positive and emotional balance in the space. Modern, rustic, Scandinavian, Bohemian, minimalist, and luxury designs use artwork that reflects nature.

Therefore, canvas mountain paintings or acrylic paintings of forests bring and transform any room into a serene oasis.

2. Why You Should Buy & Display Nature-Themed Artwork

Nature-themed artwork (i.e., acrylic landscapes, paintings of mountains, and paintings of forests) are some of the most popular works in the history of art and will always remain popular for many reasons:
– Lower your stress & add emotional calmness

Studies show that by looking at images of nature, people feel less stressed. Mountain tops are viewed to give you strength and a sense of purpose, and flowing rivers provide softness and clarity.

– Instant Uplift for Overall Visual Clarity

The bright greens of leaves and plants, calming blue hues of water, and earthy brown colours of soil, rock, and sand, combined with the pure white colours of a mountain peak, provide an instant uplift from drab, dark, or congested areas.

– Symbolism Representing Strength, Hope

Mountains are symbols of strength and will, as well as symbols of purpose and direction, while rivers represent opportunities, wealth and continuity. Forests provide symbols of growth, abundance and new beginnings.

- Design Options

Regardless of your type of living space or design elements used to decorate it – whether you have black or brown furniture and decor, concrete or wooden flooring, natural or artistic touches (i.e., canvas paintings), etc. – acrylic landscape mountain and forest paintings should blend well into your space.

- Positive Energy from Both Vastu & Feng Shui

Both Vastu and Feng Shui philosophies accept that artwork and images depicting nature provide powerful energies for a harmonious lifestyle, as well as promoting growth, abundance, and prosperity.
