George Seurat was a French Post-Impressionist painter born in 1859 who died in 1891 at the age of 31. He developed the technique of pointillism, where small dots of primary colors are applied to the canvas without mixing, allowing the eye to blend the colors from a distance and create a sense of luminosity. Some of Seurat's most famous masterpieces that demonstrate this technique include Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, Bathers at Asnières, Eiffel Tower, and The Circus. To emulate Seurat's pointillism technique, materials like pencils, felt-tip pens, white paper, and a rubber are needed along with imagination.
