RE: What is Pointillism?

in #art8 years ago

Summary by @tldr:

The technique I enjoy making art with is called pointillism or more commonly known as stippling with the action of putting down a lot of dots.
I think somewhere within the history of the arts it can be acknowledged that Georges Seurat was perhaps a very famous Pointillist artist's among the rest in his time and thereafter.
"A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" created by Georges Seurat (1886) In today's world with the original form of pointillism I see few serious practitioners but there are still many artist out there who are experimenting with this method more so with technical/micron pens, tattoo work and digital art.
The technique requires the ability for our eyes and the mind while viewing an image to blend the color points into a full range with tones.
