iPhone Finger Paintings

Jorge Colombo creates these beautiful paintings by just using his finger on the tiny iPhone touch screen. The Portuguese artist makes these paintings look like they could be watercolour on canvas, but they are digitally produced. No photo references, no tablets, no brushes to wash: just his finger. All the paintings are drawn on location using an iPhone app called Brushes. Pretty Amazing! ............................................................................................

“I’m always trying to narrow down my set of tools, so compressing easel and paper, brushes and every possible color inside my pocket is quite appealing.”

“Brushes have limitations—I’ve been sticking to the older version (without layers) and working strictly from background towards foreground, which requires some discipline—but I love pushing a simple tool to its extremes.”
