As you all know, 8ch.net/b/ originated as a 'home' for Tibetan fingerpainting enthusiasts.
This ancient art form originated in Tibet, where it was practiced by Buddhist monks as both an aid to their enlightenment, and to give as tribute to the Finnish hordes to prevent them from raiding their monastaries. Although the monks were also practiced in the art of Kung Fu, they were all strict adherants to the non-aggression principle, and as such refused to fight.
The practice has since been in decline, kept alive only in obsure internet communities.
Feel free to discuss Tibetan fingerpainting and share some of your own artwork ITT.

Thanka 4 allowing other kinds of Tibetan paintings here.
Not at my computer where I have loads of cool Tibetan art, but I'll see later, if this thread is still around, if I feel like dragging out some of my own OC thankas and photographing them with timestamp of course!
In the meantime, PLEASE post moar Tibetan fingerpainting! I saved several of those, OP!

Unashamedly bumping with a random Green Tara thanka. Wish to see more Tibetan fingerpainting. Still educating myself on the topic.

Guys ever hear about the tibetan copper mirror that you meditate with and allows you to see into your own blood vessels among other strange things? of course you haven't

Another form of Tibetan art which can often be confused, sand painting which involves sand of many colours being traced in to create complex patterns.
