Body Paint on Women

With the recent photos of Michael Phelps’ girlfriend Caroline “Caz” Pal hitting the Internet, I am reminded of the allure of body art on women. In this case I’m not talking so much about permanent body art like tattoos (which also can be nice), but instead the use of body paint. It’s so versatile. You can use it to dress up like your favorite character, pretend like you’re wearing a swimsuit, support the local sports team, advertise, or simply go artistic. There are even competitions around the globe where people compete for prizes.

To the right I picked out one of my favorites, The Invisible Girl. For your viewing pleasure, here are some examples of women of all ages that you might enjoy...

The Steps

1. Buy paints from Mehron, Inc., 45 E. Route 303, Valley Cottage, NY 10989, (914) 268-4106. They have a semi-reasonable brochure and provide some technical support. They can also direct you to dealers.

2. Mehron's "liquid makeup" is water-based and comes off easily, although red stains skin a bit. Plan on using three 4oz. bottles to completely cover a 5'7" tall, 120 lb woman. This stuff tends to be streaky and cracks a bit when it dries. It is also not good if your model sweats. However, if you want a "non-slick" look, it can be pretty effective. Best of all, you can shower it off.

3. The most convenient grease-based makeup from Mehron comes in 0.75oz sticks in dozens of colors (mostly slightly varied flesh tones unfortunately, but also plenty of colors). To use this you first apply it, smooth with a damp sponge, then put on translucent powder with a powder puff, then brush the excess powder off with a powder brush. Mehron sells sponges, powder, and powder puffs. Also, many women use grease-based makeup on their faces and understand this procedure.

Although the powder is supposed to "set" the makeup, I've found that the stuff still tends to rub off. So be careful if the model touches bare skin with painted skin -- you'll get a smudge.

You can take off grease-based makeup with baby oil rubbed into the skin then paper-toweled off (plan on using 1/2 bottle of cheap baby oil plus a whole roll of towels to do an entire body). This is the cheapest method. Also, Mehron sells makeup remover lotion that works a little more easily (use this if you just want to wipe off a smudge or work on the model's face). Finally, you can use some cold cream-type cleanser then regular soap and water. Once again, red stains just a bit. The stain should fade in time, however.

Allegedly, a person will die if his skin is completedly unable to breathe. However, a spot the size of a quarter left unpainted in the small of his back is allegedly enough to prevent this undesirable event in the photo studio. Caveat paintor.
4. If there is a lot of unpainted Caucasian flesh in the picture, stay away from Fujichrome Velvia. I've had good results with EPX (Ektachrome 64X "warmer"). As far as negative film goes, Reala is pretty nice, although Gold 100 and Ektar 25 are probably better (punchier). I've had bad luck scanning Reala onto PhotoCD.

Process Japanese Dragons Body Painting

Process Japanese Dragons Body Painting

This is the model fine Naoka from Japan and currently lives in Mesa, Arizona. She decides to find a dragon painted Japanese mafia on his back, then we started to create a time and place to paint and discussed details of the image she had in mind. The following steps describe the process involved in the execution of the painting on a hot sunny day in March in Arizona.

Step 1. Preparation. For this project I was able to use the spectrum for the first time in 2000 and the new BC Iwata airbrushes. Paints used in a system called the Body of Art Airbrush paints Artool of alcohol and water. Weeks before the body painting session I managed to do a skin test model to ensure that there would be a skin reaction, and fortunately nothing happened.

Step 2. Outlines the dragon was drawn on paper to get the details correct proportions before taking the plunge. Cartoon was based on a ceramic dragon, also includes some features of the calendar, Naoko to buy in Japan. Once the project is ready, the next step was to outline the image of new models using the paint pen. Gold is a good color to use as skin tones and reflections tend to wash the final product.

Step 3. Getting started with the actual painting, the colors freehand base and to keep track as best you can. It ‘s always best to start with a lighter body paint due to a thin layer of darker color is easy to see. If you try to lighten the dark colors, you may need to build a thick layer of paint to make it opaque.

Step 4. The weakest dragon scales were given in the form of raw materials, using paper stencil. Take the time to cut a few corners of a few pieces of paper to be prepared to this point. Fortunately, the spirit that I was using paint to dry quickly allowing the use of the same number of repeats of the stencil.

Step 5. Another stencil was used for blue scales. To help give the impression of three dimensions, the scales were cut to be closer to the outer edge.

Step 6. Once the scales are defined, the next step is to start the operation free of shadows and highlights everywhere. The claws were painted with a mixture of yellow and brown and henna with some red and black. Greenhouses are usually freehand with the intention to describe in the next phase of work. A little more templates are needed to provide the heavy favorite.

Step 7. When most colors and stencil work is done, it is time to define the contours and details. The main areas that seem to need more attention are the feet and teeth. The white teeth tend to fall into patterns, fair complexion, in this case, a sketch and helped to define. A small brush is sparse to add clarity to the claws too. When spraying is a problem, it is possible to remove the paint with alcohol, but I was able to avoid the need to “erase” this time.

Step 8. then take it out. The key here is to add the dominating stresses belly scales and parts of the legs and blue scales. This gives the dragon a shiny appearance. Time, but effective trick is to add small dots on each scale is also designed to give a little shine.

Step 9. As Naoko and Japan, had no trouble to show me how to write dragon in Japanese characters. This section was considered legally brushed by hand. The final touch was to add a golden dragon spray surrounded by smoke and fog light was a gold-painted the whole painting to give shine. The thin line of white smoke was also forced to stand outside.

Step 10. photoshoot. This session was very important to relate the Japanese model Japanese dragon. The mirror is there to show her oriental features and to emphasize the face painting.
