Wooded Landscape is an oil by John Thomson, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a serene wooded landscape with trees and foliage in the foreground, set against a soft, hazy background. The scene is depicted in muted earth tones, with the trees and foliage rendered in varying shades of green and brown. In the foreground, the trees and foliage are densely packed, creating a sense of depth and texture. The background is more subdued, with the sky and distant landscape fading into a soft haze. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of volume and depth in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The overall effect is one of peacefulness and tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the serene world of the painting. For more on this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
