Fingerpainted on my iphone with brushes app

Hello to my Swedish fingerpainting friends and thanks for publishing this post.

Thanks to Cult of Mac for the post!

L'iPhone art rappresenta la democratizzazione del processo di pittura: così come il basso costo e la semplicità del processo della macchina fotografica digitale ha privilegiato la spontaneità e l'immediatezza della fotografia, l'iPhone e l'iPhone art consentono una reattività maggiore nell'espressione dell'idea e di temi visivi con uno strumento accessibile a tutti. mw

Showtime!

Over 200 people attended the opening of my show "l'arte ai tempi dell'iphone" at C & C consulting (Apple premium reseller) in Bari. Although I had done my best to explain that the pictures were all fingerpainted on my iPhone,
frequent demonstrations were necessary and appreciated.

My thanks to all those who attended, and all my fingerpainting friends who couldn't be there.

Fingerpainting:
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.
