Pointillism Detail 9
Above is a section of the Kennicott painting showing the first layer of dots during the repainting of the sky. Many artists stop here, this is the look they want from pointillism. I, on the other hand, take this technique to extremes. My next series of blogs will show the complex application of dots, layer by layer, side by side, overlapping each other, sometimes hiding the dots underneath. It is a technique that has evolved over twenty years of use.
More tomorrow.
