All levels are welcome. In this workshop, we will discuss the work of the Pointillists and adopt their core principles to create a Pointillist-style landscape painting.
Pointillism is a revolutionary painting technique developed in the mid-1880s by French artists Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Moving away from the traditional methods of blending pigments on a palette, this approach involves applying distinct dots of pure colour to form an image. The technique relies on optical colour mixing, depending on the viewer's eye and mind to blend the separate dots into a full range of tones and rich, vibrant hues.
During our session, we will break down how to plan your composition, manage colour theory effectively without physical blending, and build up layers of dots to create depth, light, and texture across your landscape.
