Pointillism!

Pointillism!<br /><br />You know, when I was a child, I used to watch my father make detailed, technically perfect drawings of beetles (he was a coleopterist - a studier of beetles) which would then often be published in Entomological Society newsletters or books. The technique he used was pointillism done with a dip pen and Indian ink, which to me seemed quite normal - in fact, my brother and I used to try to make drawings this way too, though of course, ours never looked anything like what they were supposed to be!<br /><br />I do like your Photoshopped watercolour! I have used some of my photographs as notecards by using Photoshop filters to enhance/and distort them, and I think your painting would be wonderful used in the same way!jayhttp://www.thedeppeffect.com/1823/abc-wednesday-from-the-archives-p/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-52041623078298106592009-11-05T06:15:39.801-08:002009-11-05T06:15:39.801-08:00I don't even paint, so I'm duly impressed ...I don't even paint, so I'm duly impressed :-)Rune Eidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008247272056395901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-25278737410795616102009-11-05T05:28:21.124-08:002009-11-05T05:28:21.124-08:00I've seen some examples of pointillism and oft...I've seen some examples of pointillism and often thought how much time that might take.
