This is the summary of LA standpipe sketches I drew in the past week. I drew each of them on the same sheet of watercolor paper. I like seeing all the sketches in relation to each other.

These stately standpipes were outside a bank, as I remember. Lots of connections. Must be to extinguish all that money, should it catch on fire.

There are four connections to this standpipe. Does each opening serve different pipes inside the building, or is it possible to apply four times the volume of water when each opening is connected to a fire truck or hydrant?

The standpipes in this sketch are almost an afterthought. The important part is the sign that gives the firefighters necessary information.

This set of standpipes was aligned next to the road and across the parking lot from the building (supposedly) under its protection. At least the fire hydrant was close. Now and then I enjoy using water soluble pens to see how diffusion of the ink affects the composition. Please visit my Etsy shop for my […]
This sketch contains three standpipes (the reference photo has more). This brings to mind the topic of collective plurals. The a group of whales is a pod; together, owls are known as a parliament; wolves roam around in ‘packs’, and so on. I am entertaining suggestions for the collective plural of standpipes.

This simple standpipe caught my attention. Four hoses can be connected to it. There must be a huge network of indoor pipes connected to it.

During my walks, I’ve noticed a variety of standpipes, a fire-suppression system, in front of most commercial buildings.
