Wow, Lucien van Oosten that is impressive! I think you did a fine job with this. I know next to nothing about this style of art but in my mind if every dot was placed there one by one to form the image.. That is impressive!

    Shadow Bea, yes they were drawn there by me, one dot at at time, that's what pointillism or stipple is the creation of an image using dots. thank you for the compliments and take care... there are more images in this book as well in the other book and in my portfolio...cheers... LvO...

Excellent! Looks like your well on your way to mastering pointillism if you have'nt already. I like your choice of subject matter and this one in particular. Well done!

Comment from brightside1099


This is a very nice piece. I love to work in pen and ink and piontillism is a great way to add softness to the lightly shaded areas. My only real citicism is the way you have centered the darkest area of the wings in the composition. It would be nice if you added a little more work to that black area to bring out the details of the feathers one might see if observing the bird in such close proximity.

Also consider adding a little darker areas to the feet and just a sprinkinling of dark ares to the mountains below. All of this will keep the viewer's eye moving across the piece and not stop with the black area right in the middle.

Comment from McLauchlin


Lucien, thanks so much for sharing section two of this fantastic drawing! Even though it is section two of a larger drawing the composition is terrific. Your pointillism skills are truly magnificent and very professional. You captured some wonderful details and bird movement. Thanks so much for sharing!

Comment from angel on a dark path


I've admired your pointillism pieces for some time now, so it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to review one. The composition is tight, shading is right on the mark, good sense of movement, and the details are nicely representational.

This bird painting is really eye catchy. Color contrast of black and white is nice. The shadowing is OK. Keep it up, my friend. Nice work. Have a nice day. faisoft

Comment from mcapp


I am going to review this on the elements I think are the most important in a piece of art using the 6 star format. Composition:5 Color palette:B/W Light and Dark contrasts:5 Texture: 5 Unique use of subject matter:4 Creativity:4 Any low score on any of these would be where I think the piece could be improved. I like the graphic feel and your designing in this one as well.
