The use of colors is remarkable from the dark green colors to convey the shadows of the grass, to the colors of fabric on the clothes of the wealth, and even to the ripples and clearness of the water. What makes this painting stand out from many of the earlier paintings is Seurat’s use of Divisionism, commonly known as Pointillism (Gardner). Pointillism are dots of color with strategic placement based on concept of color theory. Seurat explains that he divides out the color and then creates tiny dots to the canvas by applying pure component colors which then leads to shapes, figures, and spaces to come to life that can only be seen from a distance because the viewer’s eye will therefore blend the colors together, making figures appear to where they are seen to be (Gardner). His techniques are very tedious which causes him to take years to complete one canvas because of his detailed emphasis on his
