Painting nothing but with fingers by Iris Scott

If we use brushes to paint it is because how delicate the tip can become of this very precise tool that allows us to make the most perfect lines with a hand that has the pulse to do it in a raised way.

But where Iris Scott takes us with her paintings is before the technique used to nothing more than use the tip of your fingers as the brush or tool to paint them. It is the artist herself who comments on how there is nothing between her fingers and the canvas, just as it does when we use charcoal, a pencil or a brush.

It has also always been said that eating with your hands means that food has more flavor. It must be something of the energy of our hands that Scott decided to try his luck with these very impressionistic oil paintings.

The artist participates effusively in an artistic movement called "Instinctualism", which displays vibrant colors, very positive themes and textures that ensure that the viewer can rejoice with them.

Iris also shows that in her paintings she wants them to be both a getaway to our routine life as an intensification of the recognizable. The painter typically uses more than 100 oil-based colors to design a single scene. Scott primarily aspires to show the potential hidden in the fingers that can become a special tool to create a world in which viewers consider themselves part of it.

Scott has own book where he teaches part of his wisdom about this artistic form in which instead of using brushes, he uses the tips of his fingers to create high-quality works that powerfully attract attention for their impressionist touch, reminiscent of classic French painters. A very lively and colorful work.
