The Pointillism Thread

[Revolation]

Post your pointillism here! If you don't know what it is, its a system of painting using tiny dots or "points" of color, developed by French artist Georges Seurat in the 1880s.

Heres mine, its work in progress.

you need more variance in your dots, but a good start so far.

MOAR DOTS.

I remember making Christmas cards for my family using pointillism. I hated every moment of it. I can't stand doing pointillism. So many dots...!

Yeah it definetly takes time and patience.

I've always know it as Stippling. We had to do self-portraits that way. I dunno where mine is... packed away somewhere, no doubt... but if I can find it, I'll try to take a pic (my scanner is broken).

Your pic is looking good... my only suggestion: try to have no dot at the lightest point.

I just looked it up, apparently Pointillism is when there's color, like you said... so your piece is stippled (unless there's actually color I can't see in the picture)... tomato... tomato! (lol, that doesn't work in print! nvm!!)

I think stippling in general looks great and I wish more people had the patience for it. I've done a couple pictures I'll try to get up. I was thinking about starting a thread like this actually.

its a stippiling NIGHTMARE!! just take it to heart tho, its a killer technique to be able to hammer out like its nothing. VCJ did alot of it in some of his graphics for Powell-Peralta and his own stuff.. check it out for killer insparation.
