From one of my drawing workshops, I was able to create a mode of practice using cotton buds, using the tip for mark making, creating an image of dots with acrylic paint. It was inspired by Seurat’s pointillism work, although he used a brush to produce those marks. He was one of the pioneers of pointillism, a technique that developed in 1886. However, I’ve evolved the style of pointillism using cotton buds. It is a very feasible practise to do as the material is a day to day item. I will be working with this method in my contemporary project. Although it was a challenging to do the style pointillism as confuses the mind to blend the colours and place it accurately. To develop this further, I used a hole puncher in some areas to make it look chaotic. I want to keep working with this technique as challenges with me in doing complex techniques.
