Thank you for your thoughtful comment @arrozymangophoto!
You are so correct on impressionism, which the well-known would be Georges Seurat the French painter. He use light blue for the main clolor, I use yellow and orange.
And you are also right about this looks like a photo, well, it is from photo.
This pointilism was a kind of a meditation for me, because by following the photo, I knew what to do.
Also realized that whether I am drawing cicada or photography itself? because the snap shot I used had noise that human eyes do not perceive. It only appears on photograph. So I was drawing photograph itself in that sense.
I am normally making soft sculpture and batik now, and my first pointilism in 20 years.
I had a terrible friendship breakup last month, and I really had to relax myself. And surprisingly many steemians are fascinated by this! I am very happy now, by sharing this, also I get receive many comments!
