Those who have a hobby of drawing may have a question - what is the essence of such a popular point-to-point technique? A modern fashionable artist has the right to depict reality and his attitude to it in any way: with strict graphics, collage, shots at the canvas with paint ... Or - with neat monotonous dots, from which a beautiful picture will bloom.
This picture, created in fact from some points, will be a prime example of the point-to-point technique. This technique allows you to create both incredible surreal paintings, and to give the picture the final look, adding a subtle pattern of dots and drops to certain areas.

Indeed, it is the indigenous people of Australia who are the ancestors of this painting technique. Even now, the actual painting of the Australian Bushmen is unthinkable without an ocean of dots. The aborigines decorated household items with patterns and plot drawings, consisting entirely of multi-colored dots. The symbolism corresponded to their idea of the structure of the Universe, to the practices of shamanism.
Simple basics
At its core, this technique is very simple, but this impression is deceiving. It takes time and constant practice for the artist's hand to confidently apply dots of the same diameter, and the eye monitors the integrity of the picture. Most often, for this technique, paint in tubes is used, for example, acrylic. The eye is very important, as well as the sense of color - from closely spaced droplets of the same size, but in different shades, a picture can be obtained with an impressive effect of volume and delicacy.
