Finger Painting

This tag marks paintings made directly with fingers or hands instead of a brush, a technique that trades precision for a more immediate, physical connection to the paint. Working this way limits fine detail but often produces a looser, more textured, and spontaneous result, since the artist can feel the paint’s thickness and movement directly. Use this tag to find work made through that most basic, hands on approach to applying color to a surface, closer to the earliest instincts of mark making than any other painting technique.
