Bodypainting on the female body of beginners. How to do body painting on the face and what is needed for this? The easiest way

Body art- a phrase borrowed from of English language... The term is translated as "body art". That is, the concept is all-encompassing, indicates a lot that transforms the external nature of a person. Implants, branding, scarring and tattoos are all part of bodypainting.

Body painting is also part of it. In the West, it is called body painting. But, in Russia, the term did not take root - it is difficult to remember and is not associated with drawings on the body. Therefore, in our country they are designated as body art without taking into account the rest of the facets of this concept. We, in fairness, will consider all aspects of body art.

Tattoo as part of the art of body painting

A classic tattoo differs from body painting in terms of service life. Regular body painting is superficial, easy to wash off. Pigments for tattoos penetrate into cells, where they are retained for life. Some of the paints may wash out, fade in the sun. But, the general contours of the picture and color spots will remain.

They persist even after the death of a person if the body is mummified. So, in 1948, Sergei Rudenko found several embalmed bodies on the border with China. A Russian archaeologist found many on the remains. The bodies were sent for analysis and found to be about 2,400 years old.

So, already then there was body art. Painting was applied not with needles, but with pointed sticks. This technique was also used in Egypt. On its territory they found a tattooed mummy, which is about 4,000 years old. A priestess of one of the ancient temples used her body as a canvas, in which she was buried.

Some modern ones will not give any information to the archaeologists of the future. The point is not even that the culture of mummification of bodies has been lost, but that the drawings simply will not be preserved. Many examples of the 21st century can no longer be called tattoos. Craftsmen do not use needles. The skin is colored with brushes.

Natural coloring pigments are used, for example, henna. It seeps into cells, but shallow. Within a couple of weeks after application, the patterns disappear, are washed off with water and go away along with the dead cells of the epidermis. This is the name of the top layer of the skin. Temporary tattoos are a kind of transition from baudiart to body painting.

Body painting as part of body art

Body painting is not inferior in antiquity. Suffice it to recall the wild tribes of Africa, Indians North America, applied a frightening "make-up" before hunting, battles. Often, not the whole body was painted, but only the face. This direction of painting is called face art. The art of face painting is closely related to the make-up area.

It's no secret that make-up sometimes requires masking some elements on the face. For example, makeup artists cover redness with green concealer. In the color wheel, grassy tones are located opposite reds, neutralizing them. A regular foundation is applied on top and ... you get the perfect skin.

Naked body art, that is, painting a nude body also requires some kind of disguise. The video below has an age limit of 18+, so if you are under age do not press the play button. By clicking it you confirm that you are over 18 years old.

Not everyone dares to appear before the master, so to speak, in all its glory. Therefore, put on silicone stickers. They are attached with glue, covering secondary sexual characteristics, for example, nipples. The surface of the overlays is designed for easy paint distribution and quick curing. The color of the stickers matches the skin, does not stand out on the body and does not spoil body art.

Photo special stickers are usually offered by foreign stores. Body painting is most developed in the West and in America. There is a salon procedure, a lot of competitions with solid prizes are held. In Russia there was an attempt to organize a national championship, but in 2002 it was canceled.

The phenomenon was partly explained nudists. Body art for them - their favorite "clothing". But, in Russia, the climate is not conducive to either nudism or body painting. But in the same states there are thousands of nudist communities. Therefore, the service “ body art ". Video professional works are posted online and included in the portfolio.

The world body art association has existed since 2001. The best masters who are registered in the organization are foreigners. Famous Italian Johannes Stetter. He is not only an artist, but also the organizer of a folk group. The man's musical predilections are reflected in many of his works. Pictures are original, full of mysticism.

Master Cho-San is famous in Japan. She specializes in visually merging people with nature. Models are set against the background of mountains, forests, interiors and painted to match them. As a rule, professional models act as "canvases". To the common man not easy to stand 5-6 hours. On the other hand, you get an artistic masterpiece for free, and sometimes a surcharge for your work.

In the US, they are ready to pose for free if James Kuhn draws. Only now, this master does not need models. A man paints himself. Specializes in body art on the face, your own. Jame depicts self-portraits, but modifies his appearance - he appears in the form of a boar, then a shaman. There are already nearly 400 works captured in the photo.

Scarification as part of body art

Body art - body painting and ... no matter what it is made of. Scarification is the creation of patterns with blades. In ancient times, shards of glass and sharp stones were used. The scarring evidence is almost 5,000 years old. The technique was invented by African tribes. They are not visible on swarthy bodies, but compositions made of scars are noticeable.

They are voluminous, so they are striking. By the way, so that the scars are the most prominent, they use the juices of poisonous plants. They are poured into deep cuts. Previously, the technique was used everywhere, now, only some women in Sudan use it.

Scarification is included in body art. Buy the service can also be called scarification. This is the official name of the technique, also derived from the English language. The term is not popular, and the phenomenon is not popular either. According to statistics, out of 100 people with only 1-2 they also get scarring.

First, there are few smart craftsmen. Secondly, the painful sensations during the procedure are strong, and in order for the drawing to look impressive, you need to use large areas of the body. So, most people choose the familiar body art. Women scarifaction is especially rare.

Implantation as a type of body art

Implantation is a concept made up of two Latin words - "inside" and "I plant". Initially, the term is medical. But, gradually implantation became part of the course body art. Photo confirm that it is possible to drive metal balls and silicone molds under the skin for the sake of beauty. Many find this beauty controversial, but that's all modern Art... It is designed to shock, make you think, experience, and not just enjoy the perfection of images.

So instead of body art paints implants are taken. They are round, in the form of bagels, stars, pyramids. You can choose any variation and compose a composition from them. Some, for example, ask for horns on the forehead. Others want thorns sticking out of their fingers, like knuckle dusters.

Details can be left under the skin, or partially taken out. It all depends on the wishes of the client who has chosen an unusual body art. Women photo are usually laid out with asterisks and devil horns. Men prefer to radically change their appearance, for example, greatly enlarge one of the frontal lobes. Body painting video The video below will clearly show how the implants are installed, but I would like to warn you that this is not a sight for the faint of heart.

Branding as types of body art

The formal procedure is called branding. It is believed that the direction takes its origins in the slave system. In it, the bodies of workers were applied special signs indicating that people belong to slaves. Drawings were made with red-hot iron seals. This is the technique of applying patterns now. So, branding is not included in the list " body art pregnant". Painful sensations such that an involuntary contraction of the internal muscles may occur, and this is one of the reasons for miscarriages.

If body art painting on the body on Photo is usually flat, then the branding gives a convex picture. When the redness disappears, scabs from burns, thick, voluminous lines remain. They are slightly lighter than the rest of the skin, not. Therefore, in order to emphasize the pictures, many people take sun baths.

Branding is rarely included in the “ porn body art". The sight of human suffering excites few. Painful procedure and painful healing of burns. We have to refrain from scratching and constantly treat the wounds with antiseptics.

"we touched upon a variety of ways to draw something beautifully. But for some reason we have never touched such interesting topic like body art. Therefore, in today's article we will talk a little about body art... That is, about where it came from, how to make it (the basics), what is needed for this - and a couple of beautiful examples.

We'll start talking a little about body art from the basics - from the definition. It is generally believed that body art is a drawing with paints on the body. But in reality, not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. So, according to Wikipedia, body art (body art) is one of the forms of avant-garde art, where the human body becomes the main object of creativity, and the content is revealed using non-verbal language:

• gestures,
• facial expressions,
• the application of signs, "adornments" to the body.

The object of body art can also be drawings, photos, videos and body dummies.

That is, that body art is not only drawing on the body with paints. It is also a way to present this drawing (in particular). Moreover, the presentation can be both in real time and recorded on information carriers. It's cooler, of course, to be present at the same time 🙂 Or even to be a "canvas" for artists. It's a pity to wash off the paint 🙂

The origins of bodypainting are in antiquity. In ritual coloring, in religious patterns, in combat colors, in tribal tattoos, and so on. Probably, this also explains the desire to participate in bodypainting with modern people- the desire to join the past.

So, it should be borne in mind that in classical body art as a direction of art, the body is considered as a thing for manipulation, artists show an increased interest in borderline existential situations. Body art compositions are performed right in front of the viewer or recorded for subsequent demonstration in exhibition halls.

However, the goals of this article are much more modest. In principle, they are just limited to the peculiarities of applying paints to the body - one of the varieties of body art. This is the most common type of body art, in which the main place is taken by painting on the face (face art) and the body in general. Well-known nail art is painting nails. Mehndi - body painting using henna, the most durable - lasts three weeks. Let's talk about body painting in more detail.

What you need for body art

Body painting is absolutely safe and does not cause the slightest inconvenience. According to the technique of drawing, bodypainting is divided, depending on the method, into airbrushing and manual technique. Airbrushing uses an airbrush, and manual technique uses a brush. It must be remembered that all these drawings are only temporary.

Materials for body art can be divided into two groups - professional and improvised. Professional materials (make-up, body paint, body pencil, face painting) are more suitable for experienced artists whose profession is body painting. Whereas for you and me, novice bodyardists 🙂 any available means are suitable - henna, gouache with glycerin, acrylic paint.

You need to be careful with acrylic paint - on the one hand, it is persistent, which is good, on the other hand, it is difficult to correct the mistake. Therefore, to compensate, they often mix acrylic paints with gouache.

In principle, even multi-colored gel pens can be used as a bodypainting tool. With a certain skill, drawings with pens are no worse, if not better, than drawings of professionals. At a lower cost 🙂

How to draw body painting

Where does body art begin? As in any other form of art, the main thing here is to think over the drawing in advance. To choose a design, you need, firstly, to listen to your own inner voice, and, secondly, to browse the Internet and specialized publications. There are a lot of patterns and stencils today, it is important that the future pattern is combined with the owner who will "wear" it.

If you approach bodypainting efficiently and "forever", then the required area of ​​the skin is best depilated. Before applying paint, the skin should also be degreased (with alcohol wipes) and moistened.

The most important thing to remember is that body art doesn't like rushing. In an effort to do everything quickly, some artists achieve the fact that at some stage they have to wash off the already applied drawing and do it all over again. Take your time, enjoy the process, after all, because it looks like an ancient ritual of our ancestors.

Thus, drawing bodypainting is easy!

By the way, for inspiration - a small video with the results of body painting:

Happy creativity!

In the rating of questions that I am asked by phone, email and all kinds of messengers, the question of paints for body art is leading. How to paint on the body, how paint is washed off, where to get it? To be honest, I'm tired of answering the same questions, but not I can't answer either.
It would seem - what could be easier - to type in "paint for body art" in Google and get an exhaustive answer. But what I found on the first page of a search engine shocked me. Most of the articles on the sites and some clever people on the forums say in all seriousness that "For modern body art, artistic gouache, special make-up or acrylic paints are used. The latter last longer, but are difficult to wash off." Gouache and acrylic paints, f *** ing. Really in our time no one heard about face painting?
So, a little educational program, dear!

Body art (in the narrow sense of the word), or body painting, is painting on the body. For body art are used professional paints, specially designed cosmetic companies for these purposes. Such dyes are harmless to the skin of models, they are not only hypoallergenic, but also fit well on the skin, do not crack on the bends of arms and legs, do not flow under the light of spotlights and are easily washed off with warm water and soap and / or special cleansers (like milk for removing makeup, etc.).
There are two types of materials (professional cosmetic dyes) that are used for makeup, body and face art:
- On a greasy basis (theatrical make-up, supra color, supra, fards gras)
- Water-based (face painting, aqua color, liquid make up, aquarelle, watercolor) - it is this variety that we call body art paint, or face painting.

So, face painting is, in fact, cosmetics. It just has the properties necessary for painting on the body. It is diluted with water, similar to ordinary paint for painting, applied with brushes (natural and synthetic), sponges, or airbrush. You can find several types / consistencies of face painting:
Pressed (wet make up, sake) in palettes of several colors, or in individual packages of different sizes);
Creamy (creamy, cream) in tube packages;
Liquid(Liquid make up) in bottle packages;
Liquid for airbrush(airbrush, air make up).
If you are a beginner body painter, or just want to try painting on the body, I advise you to purchase palettes.

Firstly, all the necessary colors are in one box, and secondly, the volume of paints in the palette is enough to play enough to understand whether you are interested in continuing to do body art. There are even special children's palettes - good fun at a children's party.
Creamy face painting is convenient for large-scale use - professionals prefer to buy it, since the tubes are quite voluminous, and when diluted with water, this volume increases significantly.
Liquid face painting, as a rule, is already ready to use, you just need to shake it well.
Some brands have a division of the line into separate airbrush products (like KRYOLAN, for example), others do not, but liquid or creamy face painting is suitable for airbrush (like MEHRON, for example) if diluted with water. You should carefully study the label, there is usually a can use with airbrush mark.
Sometimes I mix face painting with acrylic pigments, or with watercolors to achieve some effects. But always I apply such paints on the skin already "primed" with face painting.
So, let's go through the brands presented in Moscow.

KRYOLAN
The world famous German company (as well as the leader of the Russian market of goods for body painting), which produces a wide range of professional cosmetics and make-up for body art, make-up, special effects, theatrical make-up.
I highly recommend pressed face painting in a round package (there are various volumes - from 8 to 100 g) and creamy in 50 ml tubes (it can also be diluted for airbrush, except for metallics). Metal palettes with replaceable blocks are convenient - you can buy a ready-made palette with a set of colors, or you can buy an empty one and choose the necessary shades yourself. By the way, about the shades. I don't like orange either for texture or wash-off. In general, the palette contains a variety of colors: pure, metallic, pearlescent, satin, fluorescent (they glow in UV light, therefore they are very good for working in clubs).

There is also a separate pigment of the "Air Stream" series for airbrushing of excellent quality, but very expensive:

But those liquid paints that are sold in Moscow and stink of cologne I do not advise anyone. V New york liquid face painting cryolan of a completely different quality, good, this is how the packaging looks like:

Perhaps it will appear in Moscow soon too. All detailed information, store addresses can be found on the website www.kryolan.ru. And, by the way, for colleagues who do not live in Moscow: as far as I know, in the Moscow office you can order postal delivery across Russia. Call and find out!

Make Up ATELIER
One of my favorite brands, originally from France. In addition to excellent decorative cosmetics, make-up and special effects for cinema, it produces absolutely gorgeous face painting, bright, saturated colors (brighter than Cryolan, for example, and better in quality, in my purely subjective opinion :)). This face painting is more flexible than many others. The line includes both pressed and creamy face painting, of different volumes and shades (bright, pastel, metallic, satin). There are no problems in shades - everything is well applied, it lasts and rinses off.

All information and addresses can be clarified on the Russian site and, if there is interest, visit the French site.

MEHRON
I discovered face painting of this brand in the USA, although in Moscow it can also be found in the professional Debo store, here is its website. I don't know about Moscow, but here it is catastrophically inexpensive, $ 8 for over 100 ml. Good quality liquid face painting, which is also suitable for an airbrush. I have not tried pressed, although there are more colors (32) than liquid ones. Of the minuses - only the relative dimness of some shades and their a small amount of in the liquid version (11 basic + two metallics, and flesh, like there is Glow-in-the-dark, but I have not even seen this). But on the other hand, the hiding power and resistance of the liquid pigment are very good.

Make Up For Ever
Another chic French brand, unfortunately, is not widely enough and too expensively represented in Moscow. There are relatively few colors, mostly bright basic shades (white, black, red, shades of blue and green, fuchsia, pink, yellow, orange, purple) As far as I know, in Moscow you can only buy liquid face painting ( Aquarelle s) in small tubes of 10 ml, like this:

Although the brand has both pressed and creamy face painting in packages of different sizes. I really love the creamy face painting in tubes, the quality and colors are just awesome. Recent times I work only with them, especially pearlescent and metallic colors. I dilute the creamy face painting with water and use it for the airbrush. In any case, it is unreasonable to use it in Moscow - it will be too expensive: (((

Fardel
Relatively new company on the Russian market, and I, frankly, did not have time to try it. But the choice of volumes, colors and types of face painting is impressive. The product line includes creamy, liquid and pressed paints, as well as airbrush paints. Plus powder and glitter. Pleases a palette in which you can find Pure colors, metallics, fluorescent, flesh, pearlescent and pastel shades.

In Russia this Belgian brand is represented by the Soling company.

TEMPTU-pro
The famous American brand of paints for aero make-up and aero face art. The line includes pigments based on water, silicone and even alcohol bases - for different purposes. In my opinion, it is inappropriate to use Temptu paints for full body art, but for face art or small drawings applied through a stencil - it is the most. In addition, the unique alcohol-based paint stays on the skin for several days and does not suffer from water).

Pigments for aero makeup are also popular:
:

In Moscow, this brand is represented by Biotech.

You can also find face painting from other manufacturers in Moscow, for example: Peggy sage(a bit dry for me), De Klie (the one that is of disgusting quality on the pallets, and the new one, in separate jars I even liked, although some colors are not immediately washed off - a color shade remains on the skin).

It should also be added that professional face painting is a rather expensive pleasure, but I think it’s not even worth mentioning discount programs, I even wrote about it separately: ((

PS:
I tried to describe the brands presented in Moscow (and, consequently, in Russia), their advantages and disadvantages, somehow succinctly, but in the case. If my dear colleagues can add something in the comments, such as addresses of stores in different cities, brands and specific products that they like, I will be grateful :)

Body painting has been around for centuries and is characteristic of the various cultures of the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. Popular in India, mehndi, a traditional henna body painting technique, is prevalent even in modern Western cultures.

Since the 1960s, body art has revived in the West, but it is still struggling to be recognized as an art form, which is disputed by some. But this direction has collected an army of followers and fans.

Body art is usually associated with nudity, but it does not necessarily imply a completely nude body, painting can be done on specific areas of the skin of a partially dressed model.

To enjoy body art in all its glory, it is best to attend the related festivals. They take place annually around the world, bringing together celebrity body painters and lesser-known enthusiasts. Most major festival body art takes place in Austria in the city of Bled. This large-scale event attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world. Similar events are held in different regions of America, Europe and Asia.

How to become a body art artist

We admire the fantastic talent of the body painting masters, but it's no secret that anyone can take part. If you prefer to paint rather than be painted, find yourself a model.

First of all, please be patient as body art takes a long time. It is believed that six hours is a very short interval for a full body painting.

The main accessories are brushes, sponges, alcohol, a palette, a bottle of water and, of course, body paints, which are sold in specialized stores. They are non-toxic and safe.

Before starting work, make sure you have a clear idea of ​​what you want to draw. It will not be superfluous to make some sketches.
Body painting can be intimidating at first, but in a friendly atmosphere, both the artist and the model quickly adapt to this. The pressure on the skin should be moderate, but not too light, as it can have a tickling effect. Be sure to tell your model how to remove the paint afterwards. Read the instructions, but one of better ways to remove the pattern - dishwashing liquid.

Use a floor covering and avoid paints of any degree of danger. Finally, clean all accessories and wash your hands.
