San Antonio river path: Shaded limestone walkways, river bends, mature bald cypress, live oak, and pecan canopy, bridges, and reflections.

Make the individual paint marks smaller or larger.

Leave more or less room between the marks.

Increase or soften the difference between light and dark.

Use a narrower or wider range of neighboring colors.

How separate dots become a place

Inspect the riverside walkers close up to see separate slate-blue, ochre, cream, terracotta, and olive oil dabs with primed linen between them. Step back so they merge into shirts, tree shade, and water — then enlarge Dot size to 74% to see the marks themselves grow without moving the scene.

More options

Adjust canvas weave, dab edge irregularity, and subtle bristle marks.

Set how long the progressive dot reveal takes from ground to final accents.

Session & sharing
All visualizations

Dot size and Dot spacing shape surface coverage together: wider spacing selects fewer marks from a stable hierarchy and exposes more primed linen ground, while larger dots expand each mark around its fixed center.
