What is a fantasy landscape? 

A fantasy landscape is just like any other landscape, a painting or drawing that takes places outdoors, but a fantasy landscape uses things we would not normally find in nature. Those things we would find there would be unusual colors for the grass, water, or sky with massive towering castles, the universe in the space, aliens floating in the clouds, as well as dragons, fairies, and other magical creatures hanging around.

Who are some artists who have created these types of paintings? 

Frank Frazetta

Geiger
