Pointillism and Sabish 🎨👩‍🎨🖼️

Let's talk about art therapy.
Do you love making art? Using a brush,a crayon, chalk  or a simple pencil. It’s so much fun to let your imagination turn a piece of  beautiful, priceless treasure.

This post will be all about the interesting style known as pointillism and im gonna share with you my paintings. How i started doing it was really unplanned. It was 2013 year ,i was studying at university. On one of the lectures i started to put points with 0.1 mm pencil on white small paper. When i finished it result was mesmerising. Actually i didnt know that there was painting technique like that,after years one of my artist friend told me that the thing that im doing calls like " Pointillism ".

Pointillism is not an easy technique to master. Today, there are very few artists who paint this way. Instead, most modern artists blend their colors on a palette to make the range of colors they want. The style first came to head in the 1880s with artists such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. The term "pointillism" was actually coined by critics and was used to mock the style of painting. The style of painting was originally referred to as "divisionism".

Pointillism takes advantage of the way our eyes work with our brains. Instead of seeing thousands of dots of color, we blend those dots into multiple colors that form an image.

Use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art. With the guidance of a credentialed art therapist, clients can "decode" the nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors often found in these art forms, which should lead to a better understanding of their feelings and behavior so they can move on to resolve deeper issues.

It is a combination of visual communication and psychotherapy.It is used during individual, group, and family sessions to increase communication. Clients learn about each other’s feelings and emotions through artistic creation.

Drawing and painting is the always right way to reflect your emotions and put them in pictures.

Anyone can use it, you don’t need to be talented or an artist, and there are professionals that can work with you and delve into the underlying messages communicated through art.In the end i want to share with you some of my favorite quote about painting and drawing. Keep your creativity alive and express emotions in your drawing that takes the ability to let that feeling or energy flow through the pencil or brush onto the surface.
