STIPPLE Meaning and Definition

1. Stipple is a verb that refers to the process of creating a pattern or texture by using small dots or specks. It involves applying small, distinct marks or dots onto a surface to create shading, color variation, or texture. This technique is commonly used in various art forms, such as drawing, painting, engraving, and printmaking.

   In drawing and painting, stippling is a method where the artist uses a series of tiny dots to create shading or texture instead of using continuous lines or brush strokes. By varying the density, size, and spacing of the dots, artists can achieve different effects, such as light and shadow, depth, or the illusion of a three-dimensional surface.

   In printmaking and engraving, stippling is often achieved by creating a series of small holes or punctures on a metal plate or block, and then applying ink or pigment onto the surface. When the plate or block is pressed onto paper, the tiny dots transfer the ink, resulting in a textured or stippled appearance on the final print.

   Additionally, stipple can also refer to the act of applying a series of small dots or marks onto a surface for decorative purposes, such as in the creation of patterns or designs on fabrics or pottery.

   Overall, stippling is a versatile technique used to add detail, texture, and visual interest to various artistic mediums.

2. To engrave by means of dots, instead, as in the ordinary method, by lines.
