His genre is somewhere in between realism and impressionism, as he likes his works to look realistic but still like a painting. Aryea says "With art I feel that if someone is after something that looks like a photo that's what they should buy. I like my paintings to be beautiful but look like paintings".

Landscape painting is the art form of representing a wide natural landscape or urban setting on a flat surface, commonly canvas. There are many different techniques and subjects in landscape painting. The most popular subject types are seascapes, cityscapes, landscapes depicting nature, and landscapes featuring figures. What you need to know about landscape painting is how to get started with paint, what brushes are best for the job and even how to clean up your work when done. Here, learn about the basics of landscape painting.
How to get started
To get started with your landscape painting, you will need paint. You can use oils, acrylics, or watercolor paints to paint landscapes. There are a variety of different brushes that work well for landscape painting and the type you choose can depend on your personal preference and what kind of technique you plan to use.
Paint is typically put on paper using a palette knife rather than a brush. A palette knife is a flat-bladed implement with an angled edge that allows for a range of shapes and textures to be achieved by scraping away or pushing into the paint.
What brushes are best for the job?
There are many different types of brushes for painting landscapes. Some of the most common are sable, squirrel, and natural hair. Sable is often considered the best brush for landscape painting because it has very soft but firm bristles that can handle more paint than other types of brushes. It also has a good point for detail work. Squirrel is a softer brush with shorter, thinner bristles that are ideal for delicate work. Natural hair is recommended for use with watercolors as it's less likely to shed loose hairs while working on a project. You'll want to find the right brush based on the type of paint you're using and your level of experience.
Clean up after you're done
If you don't clean up your work, it will be a mess! Leaving paint and brushes out can cause permanent damage to the canvas. Also, if you use an expensive brush for your painting, it's important to take care of it by rinsing them after every use. Otherwise, that brush may become unusable or even damaged.
What kind of paint should I use?
This will depend on the type of painting you want to do. Oil paint is typically used for landscapes while acrylic paint is more often used for figure paintings. There are other options like watercolor or pastels as well.

The Basics of Building a Platform
If you are looking to establish yourself as an artist, it is important that you have a solid platform. This will allow you to connect with your audience in a personal way, and gain new opportunities for your art. Here are some things to keep in mind when building your platform: use social media; create content regularly; be consistent with time management
To start building your platform, you should consider what kind of art you want to do: Is it going to be paintings or photography? What formats will your work be available in? Then, focus on what marketing channels you need: is it going to be Instagram or Facebook? Are print sales part of the plan? Once you've figured out these answers, try finding ways to promote yourself through paid advertising and public speaking opportunities.
How to Create Content Regularly
One of the most important aspects of building a platform is to create content regularly. Your audience will want to know what you are doing in your life, and they’ll want to see where your art fits into that equation. You can establish yourself as a professional artist by creating a blog, sharing your thoughts on social media, or posting videos online. This will allow people to connect with you in a personal way and learn more about who you are as an artist. The best time for you to share your new content is when it becomes relevant. For example, if you have an upcoming show coming up, then writing on that topic would be appropriate. When it comes to social media posts, think about what topics might interest your audience the most and post accordingly so that they can engage with your work in real time.
Use Social Media for Your Platform
The key to building a solid platform is using social media. Social media is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with your audience, and share your art with the world. In order to create a successful platform, it is important that you have an active presence on social media. This will help you establish yourself as an artist and give people easy access to your artwork. You should be creating content regularly on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks in order for your audience to stay engaged.
