Although Georges Seurat’s paintings were not provided as examples for this project I immediately thought of his work, that I am sure is familiar to many of you. I was really inspired by the painterly quality of his work and tried to include that in my portrait using teardrop shapes to stimulate paint blobs. I included one of Seurat’s paintings below:
