How did Lichtenstein make his dots?
1 Answer

To make his dots, Roy Lichtenstein developed a special process. He would hold an aluminum mesh template over the painting and then push oil paint through its openings using a small toothbrush. This innovative technique allowed the Pop artist to recreate the dotted look of comic book art with paint. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Roy Lichtenstein art.
