Art on Products - Pointillism Santa Claus by CherylsArt

For most people, the thought of Santa Claus brings thoughts of joy, wishes granted, and a time for merriment. This painting of Santa in Pointillism reminds me of all of this. He looks cheerful, artful, and content. If I were a child, I would love to receive a cute canvas bag with a picture of Pointillism Santa, filled with goodies of course. Do you have special thoughts of Santa and Christmas? Wishing you a wonderful Christmas Season and a thoroughly good New Year. Cheryl Paton CherylsArt www.zazzle.com/CherylsArt*/

Art on Products - Pointillism

I did a blog on polka dots; however this one is on a particular style of dots, called pointillism. The short definition of pointillism is painting a picture with dots. The dots themselves can be spread out, close together, random, overlapping, organized, one size, small to large, and/or various sizes. The dots can be round, or they can be odd shaped, as when one paints with the side of a paint brush.

This U. S. flag done in pointillism is an example of both organized and random dots, which is pictured on postcards.


The kayak scene, on a postcard, involved a lot of random and overlapping dots. It was inspired by a kayaking lesson that my husband took.



Butterflies can look so intricate, and pointillism is a way to enhance this quality, as demonstrated on these custom address labels. They make a great choice for butterfly lovers, for anyone who wants a more girly look, etc.



Pointillism can be used as an outline, as shown on the morning glory flower, on wedding invitations. It can be used to give elegant attention to an outline design.



Pointillism can be a fun way to enhance facial features!



I like various styles of pointillism, and I like the affect. My favorite type to paint is lots of random dots with colorful paint markers; it goes much faster.

Do you like pointillism? What is your favorite pointillism picture?
