Stippling Methods

Often overlooked, stippling and art forms that rely on it and visual color mixing are in fact a very important aspect of visual arts.

Stippling

Stippling is often overlooked by artist and academies because of the patience and discipline that it requires and develops from those that practice it. Its a great blunder to avoid studying stippling because this drawing technique cannot be avoided and is better utilized with a deep understanding of it. Stippling is the use of dots or repeated shapes to shade. This shading technique uses dots in proximity to one another to create dark and light values. The more dots gathered closely together the darker the value while if they are further apart, they make a lighter value.

Master Oamie’s Thoughts

Only the most patient and persistant artists venture here.

YIn this section, students will begin studying the painting technique known as pointillism. Pointillism is a style of painting first developed by Georges Seurat in France during the mid 1800s. At the time, the term “Pointillism” was coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of pointillist artists, but later the negative connotation was dropped as respective for the style was recognized.This style is important to the development of an artist because it requires the student to concentrate on mixing individual colors and precision in laying down those colors.

Master Oamie’s Thoughts

Why bother mixing colors, when they can mix in your eyes.

Mosaic

The highest form of stippling is the mosiac. The definition of mosaic means a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small colored pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile, or glass. At this level you will compose a mosaic using pieces of colored glass and tiles. Each piece contributing to the creation of an image. A grout or plaster will be added to bind the pieces together completing the project.

Master Oamie’s Thoughts

Mosaics are such an amazing form of art and endure time better than most arts. They are practically invincible.
