The artwork of Nolan's uses watercolour to reveal aspects of the desert that are evident to the audience, the sandy texture is displayed widely throughout the entire painting and therefore is the key feature that decribes the setting being deserted or a sand-like landscape. The artwork also displays a connection between the land and the sky, the colours and strokes of the brush give the sky and land a sense of aliveness that is also displayed throughout the artwork. Finally the colouring of the elements of the picture gives us the idea of the roughness or smoothness of the objects present, this is how the artist has presented his materials in the artwork.
