When looking at the Prehispanic Panel of this artwork, how do you discuss its Codices's Painting a Codex?
Painting a Codex Below, a Mixtec artist is painting a codex. The folded pages are strips of tanned deer hide covered with a white gesso. The colors used were gold ochre, burned sienna, carmine red, turquoise blue, olive green, grey and black. But García Bustos chose to use other colors and less crimson than the original codices, more inline with the overall colors of the mural.
