This watercolor excursion brought Sara
Hampe and myself to the ancient city of Constantinople. We concentrated
mainly on the two large religious centers: the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet
Mosque) and the Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya). We also portrayed a few of the
characteristic wooden dwellings. A curator at the Haghia Sophia was especially
helpful to us.
