Very interesting Nolan and looks to be a fun challenge.

QUESTION
Nolan, the purple you used in the sky was of a very different value than the one I see in the photo (or so I think anyway).  Could you have used a purple with a bit of white instead?  Or do we need to stick to the color wheel (primary plus secondary) we create with the primaries?  I am not clear about adding accent colors, anything we want?   Maybe over thinking... thanks.

[nolan]

I should have adjusted it and is what I normally would do. But for the exercise I wanted to show the "true" way of using only the primaries. (As I used a spot colour anyway I may as well have adjusted the purple )

[Annie.]

OK, then free for all!   I can use what I want as long as I mixed my dots in various proportion.   Thanks.

[nolan]

absolutely, go ahead and mix the correct colours you need then apply them to the canvas using stippling to get your pointillist painting

This is NOT my entry, a preliminary test piece done with coloured marker pens on plain paper.
Comments and critique please.

You have the idea 

[njnjgirl]

Bill, I'm thinking some dots need to be closer together, never having done this before, so just my thought. 

[njnjgirl]

Here is my attempt and entry.  This is the second painting I did, the first one, my dots were too big.  This is watercolor and I used a small brush and just dabbed.  I used only primary colors.
