Chicago Skyline Watercolor Painting #427. Key elements to this work of art are as follows.

Color
Lake Michigan
Contour

Color: The dominate color in this watercolor is green strongly followed by blue. The tones of the colors are very light, almost pastel so as to let the contour lines of the skyscrapers show through. The line work is done with pen & ink.
Lake Michigan: The color of Lake Michigan is done in both green and blue in the lightest tones. The lighting from the sky in this scene did not let itself to reflecting the cityscape.
Contour: The contour lines done from pen & ink are bold and strong giving luster to this fine skyline painting. You can clearly see the Willis Tower, Trump Tower, and Aon Center.
