performance model in the set to make sure I am happy with the look, lighting,
line of sight, composition and content. At that time, I start to paint the model
using brushes and body paint. We take several hundred to thousands of images
from each set, from different angles and positions of the model, different
hairstyles and painting touch ups throughout the shoot. The next phase is of
reviewing images on large screen computers to find the exact look then the final
ones are sent to our printer and once we receive those pieces back, we either add
more acrylic paint to the painted and photographed image or send them straight to
framing. Then these are placed in designated galleries or exhibits around the
country for sale.
What is Body Painting art?
Body Paint Art utilizes performance art models in conjunction with painted sets,
wardrobe, props and photography to create unique and inspiring pieces of artistic
expression. The color palette, lighting, model , expressions, the vision of the
artist, brush strokes and capturing photograph images, are all parts of the process.
Subtle and uninspiring on its own, but once put together, the entire process play
like a world class symphony orchestrated to perfection.
Who are your favourite artists?
Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Dan Gagen, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir,
Jackson Pollack and many more.
