Hey Jeannine! Loved that one! Play play play, have fun and really approach creativity like a kid! Kid at heart team✊🏼😝 I often use my hands/fingers and I confirm, it is really a super valid tool!

[@jclosestudio]

Thanks! It always shows when you are having fun while painting! And makes the whole process more enjoyable.

[@alisonlyons4691]

Thank you Jannine, a nice reminder to use my fingers. l have a really large sunset painting that l used my fingers to blend the colours. The process was very satisfying and effective. lt was nice to see you putting bright colours on the more subtle colours. lt will be great to see how these paintings turn out ❤

[@jclosestudio]

Ooh that sounds lovely. Go for it! I’m all for doing more of the things we enjoy.

I developed allergy on pigments and soap too on 4th year painting with fingers. So beware.

[@jclosestudio]

Oh no, that's awful! Thanks for the warning

[@AliBaba-ke5jn]

Is using kitchen tools art?

[@jclosestudio]

Oh yes!
