Andersonville Water Tower

EDM Challenge #29  Draw something architectural.  I live in a city with amazing architecture and I work in a historic building, but I'm not going downtown today, so I chose something iconic from the neighborhood.  This is the Water Tower in Andersonville, on which they paint a Swedish flag, to celebrate the neighborhood's Swedish-American heritage.

Watercolor pencils today.  I was originally using them as a way to do a quick sketch, and then I was going to go over them with gouache, but I wound up liking the lighter, simpler look of this.  I wish I hadn't done the brick part of the building, though.  It's too dark and you can't really tell what it is.  I did enjoy doing the clouds, though.
