Pointillism, what subject lend themselves best to this awesome technique?

Forgive my presumption, but, I find that most people really don't know what pointilism really means. If this doesn't apply to you, then please disregard this answer.

Pointism is the use of swatches and strokes of pure color to create images that cause the eye to blend colors and shades. The works of George Seurat are good examples of pointilism.

But, what many people mistake for pointilsm is really the form called stippling. Stippling is the use of actual dots, placed and massed to create the illusion of a 3D image on a two dimensional piece of paper. The dots are not stroked, in any way. It is simply the point of the pen, marker, pencil or whatever tool is used coming straight down.

Before going nearly 100% digital in recent years, my favorite color medium was marker pens and felt markers. And, of these, some of my favorite works were using the stippling techniques. For some examples of these, please visit my blog. Feel free to leave a comment.
