Before we get on to this fun art tutorial, let's break down what stippling means. In the simplest explanation, stippling is a technique that involves drawing, painting, or etching dots onto a surface using your art medium of choice. It can be chalk markers, acrylic paint pens, paint, or even colored pencils. This method is meant to create a recognizable image formed by the group of dots you have painted or drawn, whether it be on a small surface or a large one.
Now that we've defined what the stippling technique is, let's create a vibrant sunflower art out of dots!

Dot, dot, and create we go! Watch the helpful art tutorial below:
Steps:
- Using a pencil, draw a faint outline of your design on the chalkboard.
- Pick up the brown chalk marker and begin stippling at the center of the sunflower.
Tip: choose the darkest area of your design as a starting point for stippling.
- Use the orange chalk marker and stipple the outline of each petal.
- Stipple the inner part of the petals with yellow chalk marker. Just keep stippling until you get the look you want.
- Use the dark green chalk marker for the outer part of the stem and leaves, and use light green for the inner part.
- Paint the background with your color of choice, and add details to make the artwork as brilliant as can be!
