It is rare to find an artist who not make the art with their hands. After all, that's what human hands are there for: to do things. Yet the artist Russell Powell takes the concept of "tinkering" to a whole new level with his paintings, which are created directly on the skin of his palm and transferred via embossing on paper.
The paintings begin on the palm of the left hand of Powell, painted quickly, so that the paint does not dry.

Powell then leaned his hand on the paper, creating a perfect, but reversed impression.

natural texture of his hand adds an interesting element to the painting, but not sacrifice quality or detail.
Surprisingly, the paint on hand of Powell remains quite vivid and detailed, too.
