The challenge was to draw my favorite flower using pointillism. Such a challenge indeed with all those little dots, I thought my wrist was going to fall off. This is Prisma marker on regular sketch paper, nothing too extraordinary. I can't imagine doing this in paints, I'd die lol.
A famous painting done in pointillism is "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat. This painting is 6ft x 10 ft and took him about two years to complete and I now understand why: this painting is done entirely with little dots. I tip my hat to you, Seurat. You must have the patience of a saint.
This is fabulous - my daughter was doing this in art in school recently - its such an effect way of producing art. Thanks for sharing, and my daughter was saying that her hand was sore after doing this too:-)

Thank you! What was her assignment? Some people will do the dots so tiny and takes a long time, I don't have the patience for that lol. I hope I burned calories working on this =P
DeleteIt's beautiful! I remember doing this in art, also! So time consuming and PAINFUL! I thought I was going to get carpal tunnel, lmao.
