How to Create Amazing Landscapes for Your Next Calendar Design
Landscape imagery has a way that evokes certain tranquil emotions in the viewer. Therefore it is not a surprise that our most favourite calendars tend to have landscape images plastered across its spreads. With each month, a new scenery; one that enlivens our space & transports us to a more serene place.
In fact, calendars can be such a sweet & lovely present to your loved ones and yourself. A gift that will remind daily of your bond & bring a smile on their face each time they review their day.
Oh! And how fun would it be if we were the ones who not only curated but created the landscape art for our calendar with the help of AI?!
A ton of fun, we think! Especially when AI does all the hard work & we reap all the benefits ;)
Thus, we decided to ask some of our members from our Discord community to help us craft a series of neat recipes to help you create some epic landscape AI art creations for your next calendar.
Recipe# 1: Realistic Landscape Art
Art imitates nature, we all know that. This set of recipe will get you hyper realistic ai art creations that are sure to trick anyone into thinking these were real photographs taken by you. Imagine the look on their face when you tell them you had AI make these for you *gasps!*
Prompts: “HDR photo of an X”, “empty beach [in place, at time of day]”, use a place name, and if it doesn’t turn out quite right, try to describe what you’re seeing in that place.

Recipe# 3: Fantasy Landscape Art
Photorealistic ai art creations & painted landscapes are a great way to imitate nature & keep us close to it. However, how fun would it be if we asked ai to create our own reality. One that is vibrant, magical & allows us to see the world the way we want to.

Recipe# 4: Impressionist Landscape Art
The Impressionism movement was all about capturing the fleeting moment. It was about commemorating the flying of time without trying to slow it down or freeze it perfectly in a moment.
Instead, we allow the moment to pass & capture this very passing to remind us how beautiful it is indeed, the vanishing of time.
This set of ai art recipe will get you impressionistic landscape art creations so that when you add them to your calendar, you’re reminded of the beauty of the present, of the passing of time & to always experience the moment, in the moment.
Prompts: “Impressionist painting of X” (“Impressionist painting of an evergreen forest at the base of a mountain range”, “Impressionist painting of an empty beach at sunset”)
Settings: Greg Rutkowski
Runtime: 250 iterations

Recipe# 5: Dark Landscape Art
Sometimes having a bit of fun means to make it a little more thrilling.
We get it, cheerful landscapes that are fantastical & vibrant may be a way to enliven our interior spaces, but dark & moody landscapes can also add well to the interior, just in a more… interesting manner, shall we say.
This set of ai art recipe will get you the most dramatic & theatrical creations. If you’re the type who is into dark, Baroque works, this ai art recipe is for you.
