Unique Finger Painting Style That Artist Discovered By Accident

It all started back in 2009, when Iris Scott had to make some final adjustments to one of her paintings, but instead of washing the brushes she decided to do a quick fix with her finger. And that small moment steered her career into a whole different direction: “ I knew within 10 strokes that finger painting with oils was what I would spend the rest of my life doing. “

Her unique touch is visible in every painting, also making it feel a bit more personal than the brushed paintings: “ I search for color relationships, and intriguing forms. I see the world through ‘finger painted’ colored glasses. “

It’s been three years since we covered Iris’ amazing finger paintings, and now we have the chance to see how she has mastered her skill.

Artist Paints Realistic Portraits On His Hands And Stamps Them On Paper

Art in the palm of your hand? You got it! California-based artist, Russell Powell, paints celebrities’ faces on the palm of his hand. He then transfers them to paper, using his self-titled “hand-stamping” technique.

Russell adds intricate facial features and dramatic shading, which give his creations a spectacular, three-dimensional appearance. He works quickly enough to ensure the paint doesn’t dry before he puts palm to paper.

By adding his hand-print, Russell’s creations get a distinctive personal touch, and will always remain unique to him.
