An expression of art at your fingertip...........How the picture comes out, you can’t predict
Finger paint is a special paint intended to be applied with the fingers. It is especially suited for very young children who cannot paint with a brush. Finger painting serves as a perfect launch-pad for them to experiment with colour and as a form of their expression and individuality. Getting their fingers into the paint, mixing colours, learning cause and effect from inside - the pot to outside - on the paper is a thrilling experience for them.
For adults it is an art form of great depth and challenge. Finger painting artists even believe that their spirit flows to their finger tips instilling a part of their soul in each painting!
It is typically available in pots and is used by small children, though it has occasionally been used by adults either to teach art to children, or for their own independent use.
Finger painting allows even a two-or three-year old to dabble in this form of art as it is difficult for them to do it with a paint brush. The great thing about painting for children is that each painting is truly a work of art to them... even if you can't tell what it is. Finger painting with children can also be a great way for them to experiment, learn cause and effect, and learn about colors and see the magic of new colours emerging when they are mixed.
Finger painting as an art form results in a real bond between the artwork and artist and allows for some intricate blending not achievable with brushes.
