PointillismPointillism /ˈpɔɪntɪlɪzəm/ is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism.
While Impressionists used small dabs of paint as part of their technique,Pointillism took this to the next level using only small dots of pure color to compose an entire painting.
