Il Maestro

From the name it’s clear that using this technique you have to apply paint with your fingers. According to Wikipedia, it was originally formulated in 1931 as an art education medium for small children. You can find a special non-toxic paint to be used or you can prepare it yourself from flour or cornstarch.

Here is another, more modern way to paint with your fingers. You will need no paint and no paper. Just an iPhone or iPod Touch :)

Here are some amazing fingerpaintings done by Matthew Watkins on his iPhone. You can find much more in his personal blog. If you are interested, have a look at fingerpainted.it - the blog which aims to be a place for artist-portraits, for painting-related app-reviews and of course a place for the overwhelming diversity of the artwork itself.
