Artist creates amazingly detailed paintings using her fingertips

11/17/2012

Judith Braun, best known for appearing on season one of Work of Art and installing a 13-foot sculpture of a blue penis in New York in 1994, is now taking her work in a more tactile dimension with her “fingering” paintings, large scale drawings rendered only with her fingertips. Art fans on Reddit made her images go viral and we’re staggered at the size and precise symmetry she’s pulled off with just her bare hands (and painter’s tape and guides and, we have to imagine, a couple dozen erasers). Impressive! We drew something similar on our own wall once, accidentally, with chocolate. [Source]
