8.5” x 5.5” • Ink on Toned Paper

Water Tower View #1 is a contemplative urban sketch drawn from a New York City hotel room, where artist Pamela Robinson found herself captivated by the iconic water towers perched atop the city’s high-rise buildings. This small study reflects that quiet moment of observation, rendered in black and white ink on dark gray toned paper.

The drawing focuses on the silhouetted geometry of rooftops and water towers, capturing the contrast between architectural structure and atmospheric light. The toned paper provides a moody mid-tone backdrop, allowing the highlights and shadows to emerge with clarity and depth.

Created during a trip to NYC, this piece is part of a series of intimate studies that document Pamela’s engagement with the visual poetry of the urban landscape. Water Tower View #1 is ideal for collectors who appreciate city scenes, architectural studies, and the subtle beauty of overlooked details.
