Ever heard of a technique called 'pointillism'?

It is an art-form invented by Georges Seurat in which the artist repeatedly applies numerous tiny dots of different colors on a canvas to create a painting.

Joel Brochu applied the same technique when he created a portrait of a Beagle using sprinkles. This portrait is 4 feet by 1 1/2 foot and it took 8 months of hard work to finish it.

Here's what the artist has to say about this:

"It was painstaking work, but the effect was awesome. Although resembling a van Gogh painting, I loved the finished product and it immediately spurred my creativity. I began to look anew at the everyday objects in our lives." He then thought to himself, "If simple dots of paint could create an artistic representation of our world, without the use of much artistic skill or ability, what other treasures lie in plain sight ready to be explored?"

This is how the entire portrait looks like:
















Brochu took permission from Shingo Uchiyama who originally took this photograph to re-create it in his own style, because he was determined to 'wow' people. This is the original photograph:

























Believe it or not, but Brochu has has used only six colors to create this portrait, and nothing here is digitally manipulated. Have a closer look:
