I recently learned that while stippling is the use of dots of one color to create different shades and highlights, pointalism is the use of different colors to create different hues. I suppose this picture is a little of both considering that I used both different colors to create different hues as well as different spacing between the dots to create different shades of each individual color. Anyhow, this was done for my art class as a concentration piece (meaning I have to do 12 pieces with a theme... mine being stippling/pointalism), and it took 5 weeks on a 24x18 piece of paper with Sharpie fine point 24 colors (although I only used about 18). I've been stippling before I'd ever learned about pixel art, which is why I like pixel art as much as I do now. It's the same concept, only on paper instead of the computer, minus the grid. Ironically, as much as I love to stipple, I've never much cared for Monet's pointalism work when our class was first introduced to it years ago. I don't know why that would be.

Whoa! that is unbelievable. It's so intricate, 5 weeks, it took! You have lots of patience. I love the colour on this, the green and the red go so well together.

Yes, Truly Amazing! An instant classic, if you ask me...

Oh, and the reason you don't like Monet... Could it be 'cause he's french?...he-he... **...umm, myself - i've got nothing against the french personally, but for some reason(s), despising them just seems to be a popular trend among many folks right now... ...wonder why...**

heh. i tried stippline once, and the result was not pretty. but i also only used one color. though, i guess using more than one would be much harder...i ought to not try it.

but yours is wonderful.
