Palm Painting

I finally got a chance to visit China last year.  Guilin is the place to be for an artist who does and teaches Chinese Brush Painting.
We were sightseeing when we came across a side walk artist, painting landscapes using the side of his palm, finger and fingernails.  He called this technique "palm painting".
I spent a few minutes watching him, bought a painting from him and decided to come home and try myself.
Here's the result:


All I used was china ink and my little pinkie.
This one was done on yupo.
