This week I began another Aztec-themed painting. Using joint compound I applied a thin layer on top of my canvas to begin carving out my composition. After 24 hours of dry time, I began to paint on top of the compound. To my dismay, the added paint only wet the joint compound again removing details in the process. With the way the compound began to react to moisture, I concluded the best decision would be to scrap the painting and salvage the canvas. A medium and texture test will be made this week moving forward to avoid another mishap.
