Description Well, I needed to upload some art, so here you have it.

You might recognize this painting as "The Bathers" by Georges-Pierre Seurat. Over a year ago in a painting class, this was part of a series of assignments. This portion of the "repainting the masters" series focused on pointillism. *shudder* I can tell you how long that took.

Anyway, you can see the original here: [link]

Medium : Acrylic on canvas
Time : Almost thirty hours.

Wow...30 hours. I'm sure you learned a lot from this piece, like never to do pointillism.

Oh, man. I don't know If I'd actually be able to sit down and do a painting like this. I can't imagine how long that took.
Great work. Really. That's impressive.

I don't think that I'd be patient enough to do this.. Kudos on a wonderful replica!

Thanks!

I had nightmares about dots for months, my art teacher says he still feels bad for assigning this and it's been over a year ago.

So you had to do pointillism?

Pointellism?!



I'd go insane before I got done with the upper left-hand corner! lol! I commend your patience and perseverance--and the resemblence to the original is quite admirable--well done!

Thanks!

After a while you manage to stop twitching and just trudge forward.

This is really good. You did well with the pointilism. Your picture looks almost exactly like Seurat's. I had to do something like that in one of my art classes, but it was in black and white (stippling). You can check my stuff out if you want (it's in my scraps)
