Landscape Value studies

As an exercise to understand value I created two paintings of a landscape image that I found on the internet. The first painting is a 5-value black and white painting and the second image is a two value painting. Despite the restrictions in color I find both images to be believable and somewhat realistic, this just shows how limited you can be in your methods and still create a intriguing piece of artwork.
