A few people have been kind enough to comment on the avatar that I use, and one or two sharp eyed people have noticed that I'm just wearing paint. Someone asked recently how to do it, so rather than just reply to them I thought it might be of interest to other people if I got P to explain how to do it, because it's fun, easy to do and you're all the kind of folks who might enjoy giving it a go!
Quick guide to bodypainting.
First of all, you don't need any expensive paints - any toyshop should have little sets of children's face painting kits, and you just need one of those to get you started. It's worth buying a couple of extra paint brushes as well - a large one and a small one. You should also get a sponge of some sort as well, since this will speed up the process.
Next, decide what your model is going to be 'wearing' - a t-shirt is an easy place to start, or a football top, or a bikini. If you're a crap artist (and I consider myself to be pretty dire), get the model to put the top on first of all, and take lots of photographs, so you can see how the top looks like on - you want to pay particular attention to the way the material folds, where the highlights are and so on. Print these out and use them as a basis for the paint job.
Start by outlining the edges of the top on the stomach and the arms. If you're doing a shirt or bikini work out where the edges are and pay attention to getting that right to begin with.
When you've done that, take your sponge, choose the main background colour and put it on, with a dabbing type motion - it's much quicker to do that than it is to paint it, and you get a much more even covering of paint. You'll need to pay particular attention to the nipples if your model is female since they're going to get hard, and you need to get the paint into all the crinkly places! (This is one of the fun bits for both parties by the way!)
Next, take a slightly darker colour (mixing paint if needs be) and with your brush, start to paint in the creases in the 'fabric'. This is where the pictures you took earlier will be useful. Next, take a lighter colour and do the highlights and allow to dry.
Take a small paintbrush and just dampen it slightly and then start to merge the highlights with the base colour and the same with the darker folds, to create a natural look.
Finally, add any finishing touches such as buttons, stitching and so on and hey presto! One painted person!
A few other points:
This will take *a long time*. A top and shorts can take up to 2 hours, so make sure your model has a book to read or the tv to watch.
If your model has large breasts, pay particular attention to underneath the breast, other wise you'll find you've got unpainted skin which will show if she stretches. Consequently, get her to stretch while you're painting, just so that you can reach those areas.
The paint should last for a fair while before it starts to wear off, but the hotter the weather, (not a problem at this time of year!), the more she'll sweat and the streakier the paint will get.
Paint does wear off if she's wearing clothes, or sitting in a car on the way to a photoshoot; there's not much you can do about it, other than be aware of this, and try and minimise any 'wear and tear'.
The paint DOES come off quite easily in the shower, although black is the colour that tends to require quite a lot of rubbing. It's a problem with the cheap paints, but you can buy more expensive ones (and have a greater choice of colours), for about five quid a pot. Sounds a lot of money, but they last for years and years.
As for showing off your work; if your model is a bit shy, get her to wear an open shirt (make sure that it's an old one that you don't mind getting paint on) and just paint her front. Then, if she's a bit unhappy at any point, simply buttoning up the shirt returns her immediately to her modest state!
Once you get more adept at using paint, and your model gets more confident, try going for a full body paint job. We did a set a couple of years ago, and went out into Hounslow highstreet. Completely naked, except for paint and shoes and no-one turned a hair or noticed that J was only in paint. People are generally not very observant and if they expect to see someone wearing a t-shirt, that's all they'll register, not the fact that it's paint.
If you want to see some pictures of that shoot, click on the WW link at the bottom of the post and take a look - comments welcome!
Finally, if you want to try it out, (and you live in the south east) we'd be happy to come round and give you a demonstration or paint yourself or your model so you can see how it's done. And of course, if you've got any questions, send us a PM.
Happy painting!
