fingerpainted
Made with digits
Fingerpainted describes something created by applying paint directly with the fingers rather than brushes or other tools.
The technique is associated with early childhood art projects, so fingerpainted can suggest something crude, spontaneous, or charmingly amateurish: The report looked like it had been fingerpainted by a toddler.
Also spelled finger-painted.
