Project Beginnings...

 I enjoy many aspects of art, my specialty and passion is pointillism.  From an early age I have experimented with this art form, my materials of choice being different markers with various nib sizes.  A picture will have layer upon layer of dots, usually achieved with a variant of nib sizes.

Some of the problems with this form of art are obviously any form of moisture, the fact that dots can make a line, which would ruin the effect and paper quality.

Once I received my sketchbook I realised that my first task is going to be to reinforce the paper, multiple dots in one area can tear paper not strong enough.  In terms of fastening the paper to the sketchbook I also have to consider the adhesive. I cannot use double sided tape as this may create an "edge " which will distort the dot . If I use glue I will have to do it prior to the actual dotting processes this may wet the paper and also ruin the dots.

I am excited about this project as I feel I will get a chance to explore my art technique in a positive way. Here are a few pieces of my art to give you an idea about what it is pointillism is ....
