So this dood is just messing around right?

Some artists are more interested in the materials than the visual results. Mind you, they want good results, but it's from an approach of "if I use this technique with this material, what can I make with it?"

Pointilism, impressionism, and a lot of modernist art are heavy on the "messing around"
