Descriptions Description The drawing consists of a series of bold black crayon and pencil lines, interspersed with bright jabs of orange crayon, giving the appearance of a constellation diagram. Under these bold lines, which divide the paper diagonally from upper left to lower right, the surface at top is rubbed faintly with yellow crayon and below with even fainter graphite. The resulting appearance is ever so slightly textured as if the paper were first laid over a sandy surface. Much of the upper portion of the drawing is covered further with tiny graphite ovoids filled with dabs of pink watercolor.
