Lord Howe Island, Australia

Lord Howe Island is a lush, untouched paradise where jagged volcanic mountains rise dramatically from a vivid green landscape. The scene offers a dynamic composition of rolling meadows, deep greens, and distant sea cliffs wrapped in rich blue ocean and sky.

As an artist, you’ll explore value layering for depth, and subtle shifts in green and blue to separate land, midground, and sky. The massive twin peaks on the left create strong directional flow and allow for dramatic contrast against the clouds.

This scene is excellent for pastel artists wanting to hone their skills in landscape gradients, distance rendering, and nature’s natural rhythms.
