Mysterious Cenote

Mysterious Cenote, Emerging Pastel Artist
Mysterious Cenote
This piece was inspired by a Mayan cenote in Mexico. Thousands of years old, its walls were carved in darkness by ancient waters. The natives believe these amazing underground bodies of water were a gateway to the underworld.
The medium is Strathmore Printmaking paper. I used water mixable oil and a Diane Townsend Ground as a base for applying pastels, which allowed me to make marks over it.
