Earlier this month, I stayed at a hotel for a night and there was a view of an old Tower from my window. I grabbed a sheet of the hotel's notepad (4" x 4") and started sketching its intricate details. So here you have it outlined in a fine point black marker and coloured in with watercolour pencils! Today a condominium complex and parking garage has been built around the tower.

Great drawing! Where is this?
This is a lovely drawing and such a good idea to take it from its concrete surroundings and give it some room!! It looks oriental?
Beautiful sketch! I love adding watercolors with markers.
This is very well done! Old towers have something very fascinating about them! Happy Easter! Valerie

I have so many awesome old buildings I could paint here in Germany. I really need to get on that. Loving your drawing! :)

I love sketches that are spontaneous and serve as little record of our landscapes. They change so quickly. Glad this caught your eye and thanks for sharing. It's wonderfu.
I love your sketch. You communicated a lot with a few lines!
Christine, that looks so real. The progress of your skills is incredible don't you think? You have a real talent for painting and have such a good eye. I love towers - it must be the princess in me or something..
Very cool looking tower! Makes me wonder where you were... near Toronto or a magical Kingdom?
