California-based Russell Powell is an extremely talented painter. Instead of painting directly on paper, he paints realistic portraits directly on his hand and quickly stamps them on the paper and creates some amazing results! He calls the process hand-stamping.

Powell’s hand-stamping is actually a challenging process. It is an original technique that offers some amazing results! Powell merges art and the body, by which this textured and creased surface doesn’t keep him from adding facial features and dramatic shading or giving the paintings a three-dimensional appearance, just creating some amazing results!
