Guile
In Van Gogh's 'View of Arles', stippling is used in a more expressive manner to suggest the natural texture of a wheat field. With the exception of Pointillism, stippling is seldom used as a technique on its own. It is nearly always combined with cross-hatching in order to enhance its effect.
Georges-Pierre Seurat is another prominent artist who specialized in pointillism and stipple in the mid to late 1800’s. Such pieces as ‘Bathers at Asnieres’ and ‘Sunday Afternoon on the island of La Grande Jatte’, brought him into recognition.

The illustration technique Mr. Guile employs is one of great dedication, due to the fact each piece requires over one- hundred hours of manual labor to complete. Working from photographs and memory he transforms his subjects into masterpieces of Stipple and Pointillist designs in which one would think the illustrations were coming to life.
