This is my 3rd painting using the pointillist (divisionist) style. Its acrylic on canvas, 16 x 20 inches. I used the sharpened/ slightly sanded ends of two different brushes to make the dots. In the background are two mountians and the morning sky. In the middleground are the various pine trees, creating a forest. And in the foreground there are multiple flowers. For the larger purple flowers in the meadow, I optically blended pure red and blue dots to make the purple color (Or at least attempted), which are on a slight hill which is why they get larger as the meadow continues inward, towards the bottom left.

Lovely painting. I had the same problem when trying to make purple from pure red and blue when I tried pointalism with one of my ink pen drawings. Purple seems really difficult to make using this kind of technique...But your flowers seem to read as purple in my eyes. :)

Thanks :) And yeah, it is a tough thing to do, I plan to just practice dot size and placement I guess in trying to mix optically in the future.

You're welcome. :D Ok. Yeah, eventually you'll figure it out. It is hard...I think mine ended up looking more black than purple :(

Really good color palette chosen here: the bright basic hues are cheerful and almost vintage. The curving lines in the sky and hills are almost echoing, but differ enough to be interesting. I would question the curve of the turquoise line around the meadow, though. It's a different type of curve, with organic faults, not idealized like the hills and sky.
