Paint by Finger
To get started, e-mail me a photo. I will convert it to a pixelated portrait, and then you get to Paint by Finger.
R = Red, O = Orange, Y = Yellow, G = Green, B = Blue, M = Magenta, V = Violet, W = White, K = Black
You can use your own finger paints, dot markers, or I will send you a set of tempera paints for $10.
Suitable for children in kindergarten, and entertaining for all ages above.
The finger painting takes about 2 hours to complete.
Send your photo to scott@barcodeart.com |
I will straighten and
crop your image. |

eyes, and mouth. |
I will convert your photo to

Scott Bl8ke was invited to Sunset Hills Elementary by ArtPals (Art Parents and Artists Leading Students). Blake helped the students paint their own “Pop Art” style portrait with an unusual twist: each child’s portrait started as a pixelated image that the child then filled in with finger paint. |
