Painting the
models
I let the brush
follow the body
lines of each
contour, accenting
each person’s
individual
character, colours
flowing with
shape, light and
shadow dancing
on each pore,
crevice, muscle
and sinew. These
few images are then lightly cleaned up for color, contrast, saturation, hue and
such to build the final image. These images are then printed on flexible PVC or
aluminum with a UV stabilized ink that allows me to paint more features onto the
images with acrylic until I have created the artistic vision that had been trapped in
my mind.
How much time it takes to finish these projects?
Some pieces take as little as five hours and others will take upward of hundred
hours. It truly depends on the complexity of the project.
Are you interested in incorporating others mediums/ different types of paints etc?
What will be the natural progression?
Yes, I hope to expand these creations with light painting added to my Body Paint
Art installation pieces. I want to push the boundaries of using light to paint in 3D
and see how I can incorporate that medium into my current skill set of artist
