Visiting Sydney, Australia, and Colombia with artist SAndy

The Sydney, Australia, artist known as SAndy is the host of this week's Weekly Drawing Event on Wetcanvas.com.
My digital watercolor sketch above is of Manly Beach, a popular beach in Sydney, Australia. The artwork that follows is based on the reference material provided by SAndy and a couple of other sources, and continues below and on the next page of this blog.
For those of us saving money this summer and having a "stay-cation," SAndy is taking us on a virtual trip to Sydney, Australia and Colombia, South America.

Guatavita Lagoon, Colombia

According to legend this is the real El Dorado, where a native chief covered himself in gold dust and washed himself in the lagoon when he offered his prayers to the Gods. This was a way of hiding gold from Spanish conquerors.

Balcony Serenade

Sydney, Australia, artist SAndy says this is a typical balcony in Cartagena, Colombia, used especially when the women where being serenaded by their lovers. It's also an architectural element brought to South American by Spanish invaders...uh, settlers.
