Finger Painting


These digital images were made using a free drawing app for iPhone called Brushes.

It is a simple interface with a few variations of pixelated brush tips to choose from which limits your gestures to dragging a finger across the small screen of the smartphone.

I have been using this app to experiment with colour combinations intended to be translated into my paintings, and I find having the colour wheel to select from extremely useful.

Drawing in this way sacrifices the precision of working with a pen or brush but retains the enjoyment of drawing with immediacy and vibrant colour.
