Here you may post your paintings, but please include a title and description, as well as the types of paints used (Oils,Watercolor,etc), and whether the painting was done on canvass or something else.

If it's a small canvas that could work, if it's bigger tho, it'd be easier to snap a picture of it and upload it.

Let it also be said that painting doesn't exclusively involve canvases, paper, or other traditional mediums.

Anything can be a canvas, wood, terracotta, plaster, buildings (if you have the legal right to paint), walls, and even the human body.

I do a lot of off the wall make up styles when going out to clubs and what not, so I'll be uploading things like that at some point.

To be honest with all of you.. if at least one person doesn't fingerpaint something..I'm going to be disappointed.

Hehe, I haven't finger painted in a long time since maybe pre-school but I have painted some rocks. Last summer I went and collected them from Lake Superior and then used acrylic paint.

Oh hell, Brian. Back when I wasn't scared of real paint, I painted with my fingers ALL the damn time. I had perpetually weird colored fingers for years. It was my cheating way of smoothing out areas where I didn't want brush strokes. Okay. Fine. I'm going to go dig out my portfolio and get some traditional art posted. You've convinced me.

Title: By Any Other...
Medium: Acrylic on Watercolor Paper
Additional: Charcoal and Chalk Pastels

Artist Comments: This is a pretty simple piece, but one I like. Besides my fingers, I love running charcoal through wet paint. I just like the effect and it's a really handy thing for helping define lines and motion. But you can def. tell there was some mad finger painting going on, here. wink

That's beautiful and fun! I love the colors and the textures. That looks like it was a lot of fun, and it has a very spring and summery feel about it.

Kudos!

Ahh, thanks you two. I totally feel a finger painting contest coming on in the near future... That'd be a hoot.

Abstraction it's one of those things that always keeps me guessing. I always like seeing the titles with the piece of these types of works. Then my brain tries to figure out where it fits into the title.
So I wonder is it an above view of a city type scape? Is it a building from many sides like cubism? Do the colors carry meanings like some other artists I know of? Then again it could be just art for arts sake. Just a little of my thought process.

People would go nuts over this down here in Tucson. I love the coloration on both, and I gotta say.. fingerpainting contest does sound like way too much fun smile Great work.
