The following Aboriginal bark painting uses a subdued range of natural, earthy colours such as ochre, brown, white and black. It is representative of traditional styles seen in Aboriginal art. This is also shown by the textural surface of bark which the artist has used to paint on, this adds a sense of cultural heritage to the work, reminding us of the origins of Aboriginal Painting. There are many lines used to outline the main focal point which is the bird and fish, it also helps to create the patterns of reeds in the background. The space shown in the artwork is quite shallow, there is no far distance shown, all subject matter is placed in the immediate foreground, we seem to have a birds-eye view of the scene. There is no variation in tonal qualities throughout the piece, all shapes and objects remain quite flat and simplified, echoing the traditional painting style of the Aboriginal artist. 

Aboriginal Xray Art

Aboriginal x-ray art is a traditional style used by the people of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia to depict local animals and stories. Many of the animals are painted showing some anatomical features, that is, painted in x-ray.
X-ray art shows the artist's relationship with, and knowledge of, his country and its inhabitants. The delicate presentation of bone structures and internal organs gives the picture a three-dimensional effect.

X-ray style, manner of depicting animals by drawing or painting the skeletal frame and internal organs. It is one of the characteristic styles of the art of some prehistoric hunting cultures.
