Mount Hood, Oregon is a 1904 gouache by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows Mount Hood rising behind tall evergreens. Soft pinks and blues outline the snow-capped peak while shadows cool the forest. A faint haze blurs the distance. Hassam used watercolor and gouache together. He layered thin glazes of color to build depth. The charcoal adds sharp edges to rocks and trunks. Check out how he combined wet and dry brushes for texture. See Hassam, Childe.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
