Day 16 – Methow from River Run Trail

West Fork Methow from Riverview Trail

Methow from River Run Trail

I seem stuck in the Methow Valley right now and also still stuck with oils.  Another one from our hike along the Jack’s/River Run loop in August.  The  Methow River along with the western portion of Goat Wall.  I just love that wall and how well it can be painted with thick oil paint strokes.  I had thought about doing this in acrylic but knew I’d never be able to get the same texture and feel with the thinner paint.  I had a bit of trouble with the foreground trees, didn’t like the coloring on them.  I went into Daniel Smith to buy some more fast drying medium and a few brushes so picked up some viridian and did a glaze over top with it, much better.
