Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image. The technique relies on the perceptive ability of the eye and mind of the viewer to mix the color spots into a fuller range of tones. Georges Seurat developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism.

Becci's art is done in black ink with occassional paintings where color is added. Her subject matter comes from her exciting travels in Africa.
Take a look!
Neat post, Joanne! I'm working in a technique that takes pointillism into larger daubs of paint- less detail, but more emphasis on texture.

Hi Dena,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I was not aware of such a technique as "daubism". I especially like the shimmer you have created in your water lilies.
