How would you go about creating painting that depicted the style of pointilism

 because pointillism is based on dots, I would recommend you use a brush that that has a tiny and thin (but sturdy) brush tip. dip the brush gently into the paint you would use, and press it against your canvas. side note: be careful with those types of brushes as they can easily get messed up.

but also, don't forget to have fun and be creative! try to create something new :)

variety in color and variety in texture
