Winter Dot Painting (Free Printable)

Learn About Artist Georges Seurat and Pointillism

Famous French artist Georges Seurat developed a very scientific way of painting known as pointillism. In his paintings, he used tiny dots of pure color side by side to build form.

When very close together, these tiny dots of paint give the viewer’s eye a chance to blend the color optically rather than the artist having the colors readily blended on the canvas.

Pointillism art is done with oil paints and is just painting with dots. In a more complicated description, it is a technique where you do not mix the pigments of color but instead have varying dots of color that require the viewer to combine the colors. Their mind and eye do it for them.
