Australian landscape paintings are usually characterized by innocence that is rooted in having areas which are untainted by industrialization.
The medium used, such as acrylic and water colors, help in giving the artworks the appropriate effect of a beach scene filled with yellow sand, the ocean with its blue water accompanied by receding waves, hovering birds in the sky and the sun glaring overhead.
Australia also presents to the artist wide areas dotted with trees inhabited by koalas, kangaroos and various birds in its paintings.

You may be able to look at paintings of the same place by the same or different artists and compare them. Which rendition is more dramatic or accurate? Which has timeless appeal?
The various landscape paintings of Australia have been exhibited in museums such as the British Museum and other places all over the world. You may also look for old and contemporary works on the Internet to have a view of another place under the sun.
