| Description |
English: Aboriginal people painted on rock surfaces using four main colours - red, yellow, black and white. Only rarely were other colours employed. Red, yellow and white come from rocks and clay, and black often from charcoal. To create the pigment, the material would be ground on a stone palette and mixed with water to create a paste. It would then be applied to the rock using a brush or fingers. |
