What is Pointillism?
Pointillism dates to the 1880’s when French painter George Seurat, used tiny specs of primary colours to create an image. Seurat was especially interested in optical mixing of paint: he would place primary colours like blue next to yellow and the human eye would mix these colours optically to see green.
