FRIDAY ART BLOGGING-art school experiment
i have always like archaology, and did like aztec stuff. my uncle had gone to mexico city for a job and brought back a booklet on a temple in the city and i zeroxed many pages to use. i 1st did this in watercolor. in my bedroom. and i relly thought it turned out cool, so, i tried it in oil. but i spread out sand over went gesso. i did like the texture, but the sand just soaked up the paint. so when i do this again, i have to do another coat of gesso over the sand. i have a of aztec watercolors i will get to. then there is the BEG oil inspired by aztecs. i tried to do one in denmark, but i just couldn't do it. maybe it was a phase. or maybe all the vikings. did do the inca dude tho. i may do future aztecies like him.
