From Stipple Dots to Stippling Art
Published April 2, 2012The creative art of stippling (not to be confused with the notion of putting Stipple dots on an image), where one creates a pattern of dots on a canvas, is something I remember being introduced to in art class while a high school student. Describing the art theory behind it must be very difficult without having an example to show as an aid. Once that example is shown though, the idea of how a bunch of dots on a page can be used to represent objects, patterns, feelings, etc. can almost immediately click for people. I no longer remember the details of that day when stippling was introduced to me in a formal way, but you can imagine what tends to happen in art classes:… Continue reading

[Guest Post] Stipple:A Photographer’s Perspective
Published October 24, 2011I recently went to Catalina Island, a super rad vacation spot only twenty-two miles off the coast of Los Angeles.
