pointillism－Feb 26 2011

Pointillism
Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term Pointillism was first coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, and is now used without its earlier mocking connotation.

VanGogh's this art work had a great use of Pointillism, the mix of color make it moving and realistic.

Claude Monet- Feb 14th 2011

Claude Monet (French pronunciation: [klod mɔnɛ]), born Oscar Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926), was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-airlandscape painting.^[1][2] The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant).

Monet is one of my most favorite artist. His works looks very comfortable and realistic. Most of them were painted by a special way which makes the shape very hazy. I love this way of painting, though it is very hard to control.

I am trying to learn this way of painting.
