Hmm. As several of the commenters on YouTube point out, the end result in that "finger painting" video just looks exactly like the photo. And you see him "painting" in all this detail, but none of it is actually painterly, it looks like the painting of textures, if anything. So where did the textures come from? In the end it looks like a great finger painting that is then slowly masked away to reveal the real photo. It's still impressive, but it does appear to be misleading...
