Every color seen in the drawing is a dot. I start with the lightest color dots first and then work into the darker colors. Even the white in the hawks heads was rendered using white ink and a quill pen. The depth of the colors is achieved by laying one color against another color or over the color underneath it, in doing so I get (create) a third and forth color both visually and in reality. I was inspired to perfect the pointillism technique by some of my favorite artists: like Georges Pierre Seurat, Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro and of course his son Lucien Pissarro. I used Janice Story's photo as the reference for this drawing. I cropped her photo , to what I wanted and then created my composition as seen here. I hope you like my efforts in using the pointillism technique and will leave me a comment or two on what you think of my artwork.
