My son has been bugging me to repaint his room. Well, with the kitchen taking me 1 month, getting some virus, changing of meds, my health went to the sewer. I thought PAINT YOUR ROOM? Shoot me!
However, finally, enough energy seeped into my half dead body and we chose a beige paint and against my usual self, I allowed hubby to help and son as well. They PAINT which is to say, not neatly as I do, and I p-a-i-n-t. Anyway, I was happy just to get to do the marblizing effect my son wanted and chose to ignore the PAINT experience of father & son.
I was supposed to use a brush for the marbling technique however, found it much more beneficial to use my fingers to add & blend! ROFLOL SO YES I DID SO TO FINGER PAINT THE FAUX FINISH! Man, what fun sticking my fingers into that paint and doing the marbling technique!
FINGER PAINTING ADULT STYLE! Thank God I got done before hubby got home to stop me. ROFLOL Oh, yeah, I keep him on his toes!
SO FINGER PAINTING IS FOR ADULTS AND CAN BE USED ARTISTICALLY FOR REDECORATING!

Finger painting was one of the things we were encouraged to do in therapy. Even the adults. It does help! Very soothing and to see something you made with no tools is very satisfying too!
DD - I used to do wall murals BEFORE the new me arrived. Ah, well, she's here and I still try to keep the art wall mural thingy wherever I can.
BUXOM - Therapy? Didn't think of it as that, per se, altho my art when I did the murals or other stuff now takes me away from the "new" me.
I've done faux finishes with sponges or balled=up socks, but never my fingers. I'll have to try it!!
Good job, FIC. Sending you HUGS!
It gives a very soft blended effect - you could try it on poster board with latex interior semi gloss to see what you think.
ALSO TO SAVE MAJOR MONEY I always shop the mis-mixed paint section first to see if there's a color I could live with. MAJOR SAVINGS! 1/2 price!
