Pointillism is a painting technique that developed in the late 19th century, mainly created by artists Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Instead of blending colors on the palette or canvas, artists apply small, individual dots or strokes of unmixed color directly onto the canvas. When viewed from a distance, these dots visually blend together, creating a full range of colors and a vibrant effect. Pointillism aims to be more accurate and clear in how color and light are represented, focusing on the scientific understanding of color mixing and visual effects.
