What is a dot painting?
Dot painting is a type of painting technique in which the artwork is created by repeatedly imprinting a paint-covered brush, dotting stick, or other instruments onto the painting's surface, leaving distinctive "dot" traces on the canvas. From afar, these dots appear to melt together. The technique utilized to create a dot painting is what distinguishes it. On 1stDibs, find a variety of dot paintings by various artists.
