Abstract
In this paper we present “Seurat Brush”, which is a drawing brush tool for making artwork of pointillism on a computer. The drawing process of pointillism is really tough as enormous points need to be put onto a large canvas. Therefore we are providing a new brush tool which can automatically generate a lot of points that look like pointillism along a brush stroke by the user. We extract the drawing features of the existing pointillism paintings to apply them to our brush tool. Among many pointillism artists, we especially focus on George Seurat who was the founder of pointillism. According to the results of our analysis, we obtained two general theories of pointillism which are the divisionism and complementary contrast. In addition we observe that Seurat’s painting has unique features such as the drawing points of sunlight, white color mixture, etc. With our analyzing results, we have built “Seurat Brush” which can draw artwork of pointillism more easily and effectively. With our experimental results which are the imitation of Seurat’s masterpiece generated using our brush, we have demonstrated the effectivity and practicality of the “Seurat Brush”.
