The techniques I can see that were used in this painting are small dots that I think was done with a stick. I think she also used a paint brush to paint the snake, and all the smaller pictures inside it.

The colours used in this picture are all very dark colours like light and dark brown, black, cream and burgandy. Some lighter colours are also included lke white and a very pale cream colour. I think all of these colours give the piece of art a very aboriginal feel.

The story I can see behind this painting, is a snake underground, surrounded by layers of dirt, coming outside through a hole where the colours are lighter.
