These reticulations were made not with a brush but by pressing wet paint between two sheets of paper, squashing the paint into natural fractal patterns. These chance patterns formed the basis of Sand’s composition, which she worked up into a landscape. About these patterns, Sand stated: “Aided by my imagination, I discern within them woods, forests, or lakes, and I accentuate the vague forms produced by chance.” She called the resulting drawings  dendrites,” borrowing a geological term for treelike mineral structures.
