Pointillism is a technique of painting in which a lot of tiny dots are combined to form a picture.
The reason for doing pointillism instead of a picture with physical mixing is that, supposedly, physically mixing colors dulls them. Using optical mixing rather than physical mixing can create a brighter picture. Painting a pointillist piece is a slow and painstaking process. He was known for amazing devotion and concentration.
