Finger Painting

A lot of the time when you hear about Finger Painting you think about kids, but what about trying a piece as an adult? How would it come out? Anyone want to take up the challenge?

Painting Finger

Hi,

This is going to be my first post here....

Anyway, I just recently finished a finger painting (30x30) this past week. I have slight tremors, and for a long time I struggled to paint correctly with a brush. I'd grip it practically at the bristles, get paint everywhere, and the finished product would come out looking lifeless.

So, I decided to give in. To do things my way instead of attempting to be like the Masters. Granted, my finger painting isn't the most beautiful, either, but it's colorful...it's me!...and I've breathed life into it, er, somehow.

My hands are the most familiar things in the world to me. Why not use them to create works of art? But then again, I've never been one for perfection...And for perfection, you usually don't want to use your hands.

Thanks so much to Maria van Bruggen for the inspiration.

Besides you creating a great work of art in itself, you overcoming your opposition and taking up the challenge is what is important - that alone makes your piece beautiful. I especially like the eyes on this piece, you have made her comely. I for one have never done finger paining to this degree and doubt I have the patience to do it.
