Painting with the Skeleton

I started looking at the skeleton as a tool to use for painting. I began to think about the way the actual arm of the skeleton can push and drag paint around the page. I wanted to do a painting which could capture this. I got 4 A1 size sheets and then I taped them together. I then took inspiration for the colours of the piece from my cow's vertabrae. I mixed ochers, ultramarine blue and browns with white in order to replicate the colours that I saw. I then watered the paint down so that it would be easy for my skeleton to spread it accross the page. the purpose of this painting is to get a visual representation of the movement of the skeleton.
