'The art of body painting covers a vast area of painted effects ... from a simple tattoo on the arm to the reproduction of a famous painting across an entire body or painting a model to look fully clothed' (Delemar 1995, pg. 77)
- Delemar states that because the body painting process is very time consuming, it is essential to plan the designs on paper first then to experiment of a mannequin or model before the actual shoot.
- The materials are special watercolours for the skin and a variety of sponges, brushes or any type of tool (including airbrushing) Stencils can be used to make repeat patterns, masking tape is good for a clean edge, natural or stipple sponges for stippling textures, feathers for marbling effects.
- For painting clothes on the body i is best to use sable artists brushes, brushes and airburshing techniques
- These are examples from the Delemar academy
