The two days of Los Dias de los Muertos, the Mexican Days of the Dead, represent the most important celebration of the year in Mexico, especially in rural areas. Celebrated on the Catholic holy days of November 1, All Saints’ Day, and November 2, All Souls’ Day, the occasion is a joyful time of remembrance, family reunion, and feasting, as relatives and friends gather together to honor their loved ones who have died. Calavera is Spanish for “skull”. It is also applied to edible or decorative skulls made from either sugar and can be highly decorated with icing.
I have chosen the color sepia as it is the most beautiful of inks and can enrich any drawing by offering itself in light, medium and dark tones. Find this art on TeePublic.
