Painting Ayers Rock (Uluru)

Uluru is not only one of Australia’s major landmarks, but is also one of the most sacred and important aboriginal sites. I travelled to the Red Centre in the Northern Territory a couple of years ago and visited some of the most beautiful places I’ve been to so far. These places are now the subjects of a number of paintings I am currently working on.

Step One
