The Multnomah Falls in a little ways east of the Vista House, situated in the Falls area of the Gorge.
If one takes the route of Old Columbia River Highway one would encounter 5 or 6 waterfalls within walking distance to the roadside. Multnomah Falls is the most famous and has its own dedicated huge parking lot to accommodate the flow of tourists. I am placing this Fall right next to the shoreline to add drama to the composition and I am retaining the pedestrian bridge which spans across the Falls as a badge of authenticity of my misplaced landmark.
Darker values are placed on the bordering rock faces of the falls to make the water stand out. The water shall be represented by the void space.
The shoreline is addressed with a wash of different intensities using side-tip brushstrokes. Additions of trees helps with the realization that this might be sandspits situated at the base of the hills.
