The experience was relaxing and fun, I enjoyed just doing silly things all over the canvas and not worrying if it was going to turn out good or bad because it was only meant to look abstract.
It was easier than I expected. I already expected it would be easy just to scribble my finger around a canvas but it was even easier. Took very little attention or effort, it was just messing around and didn’t really have meaning put into it.
The feeling of making a painting with no subject honestly felt pointless. I don’t see a reason of making paintings like this other than to just mess around and relax in case you like the feeling of it as a hobby.
The paintings this finger painting compares to is all of those “abstract” art paintings you see in museums where there’s absolutely nothing but splashes and blob all over the canvas and they somehow sell for millions of dollars and are adored by people. This took little effort, has little meaning, and holds little value, just like the ones that sell for millions in art museums.
