Art Illustrations by Brent J Pettit Sr. These beautiful LDS temple art prints and personalized hand drawn ink portraits are Limited-edition ink-drawn Stippling prints Gicl'ee(pronounced "zhee-clay" from the French. The Art of Stippling The art of stippling involves covering an area with dots. What comes right to mind is a wildly time-consuming technique, done with a technical pen and ink (usually black), in which an image is drawn dot...by dot...by dot. The resulting image generally contains no lines. It is a collection of dots, strategically placed to suggest forms, shapes, contrast and depth. It is left to the viewer's eye to complete the picture, a proposition which seldom fails. The technique became popular as a means of producing shaded line art illustrations for publication, because drawings created this way could be reproduced in simple black ink. These techniques have made it possible to convert continuous-tone images into patterns suitable for printing. Artists choose stippling for its simplicity and handmade appearance.
