Many people like to draw with their fingers, especially young children, because it doesn't require any skill or following specific instructions. You or a child simply draw with your fingers without using brushes, dipping your fingers into the paint. This activity teaches children to art. Since paint cans come in different colors, children not only learn to recognize these colors, but also change the appearance of the drawing depending on the addition or mixing of color. And although this activity is more popular with children, adults can also master it by masters, putting it in a form of high art. For example, as in the case of Ken Don, whose drawings cost thousands of dollars.
Steps
1 Spread newspaper sheets on the floor.
2 Wear an apron to avoid staining your clothes. Finger painting is fun, but it leaves a lot of dirt. Fill a bowl with water and place on one side. Open the jars of different colors and arrange them as well. - 3If you don't have special finger paint, you can use poster paint.
4 Tear the piece of paper out of the tablet and place it on the newspaper. This will be your canvas. It is best to use glossy paper, but any paper will work. First, soak your fingers in water and let the drops drain. Dampen the paper slightly. Too much water will wash out the paint. 
5 Select the paint, dip your finger in the jar, and then swipe across the canvas paper.
6 Move your fingers and hands all over the canvas in any direction, drawing any shapes. It's fun and easy. 
7 When finished, transfer the canvas to another newspaper and let dry.
8 Ready.
