HOW TO MAKE A WINTER DOT PAINTING

SEURAT AND PONTILLISM

Famous French artist Georges Seurat was the developer of a very scientific way of painting known as pointillism. He used tiny dots of pure color, side by side to build form in his paintings. These tiny dots of paint when very close together, 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 basically 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.
