Body painting is an art that uses the human body as a canvas. It is a
form of painting pictures or spreading colours on human body to look is
pleasant to the eyes of the viewers. It is an artistic application of
exotic colours over the parts of body. No part is now a day safe from
body painting! But the most of the work is done on the face.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When a
person desire to show his or her desires on his or her face, he or she
approaches a professional body painter. These painters paint and draw
figures on face. Among young boys and girls, such face painting is in
vogue when attending a party of a celebration. Festivals are preferred
places for the body painters.</div>

<b>The History:</b> In fact the
human race as a whole is very fond of painting the bodies. This form of
art is beloved to be a prehistoric one. In past we were used to paint
our bodies with materials like natural dyes, paints and pigments. In
some cases we use ash, vegetable colours and clay, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Beliefs:</b>
It is believed that the paintings that we do make on our bodies have
some extra sensual powers. Some of these paintings are thought to have
magical powers with which one could ward off evil spirits or the tribal
enemies. Such was thinking many races in past. However today, the
painting of bodies is coined with celebration of auspicious occasions
like New Year or a dance party. Same practices are prevailing in the
indigenous populations of the countries like New Zealand, Australia, the
Pacific Islands, and certain parts of Africa.</div>

Are you considering making a living (or at least a little money
on the side) doing body painting? Is it even possible to make a living
doing body painting? Yes, you can make good money as a 'pro' body
painter, and even kids as young as twelve have made good money (like
$500-$400 in an afternoon) doing simple painting techniques like
airbrushed temporary tattoos at fairs and festivals.<br />
It may be
difficult to believe that there are so many different ways to make money
doing body painting. I know that when I first discovered the art of
body painting, I thought maybe you could make some temporary money at a
party or fair. But there are many, many more possibilities, as you will
see.<br />
<br />
<img alt="AltBody Painting Tips" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/85/f4/3a/85f43aca1e5f29f8cb1cdde199a76d26.jpg" title="http://bodypaintingstyleyoung.blogspot.com/" width="400" />
<br />
<b>Here are just 10 of the ways you could get paid to do body painting:</b><br />
1.
Doing body painting at parties. You could hire yourself for a night or a
day and get paid either by the hour or a flat fee for the event.
<br />
<br />
2. Painting party-goers before they go to a party or event. Themed
or holiday parties would be a good opportunity for this. Make sure you
mention that you could body paint their friends, too!
<br />
<br />
3. As a professional body painter for the theatre. You could do one
show for a discount to get in the door and get some recognition, if you
don't have a track record yet.
<br />
<br />
4. Travel with the circus as their 'in house' makeup artist.
<br />
<br />
5. Become the official body painter for a dance company. Again, you could work for a low fee or even free to get in the door.
<br />
<br />
6. Face painting alone opens up several opportunities: parties,
festivals, fairs, and special events all are possible places for you to
set up shop. Just make sure (as with all these options) that you are
using proper, non-allergenic paints meant for face painting alone.
<br />
<br />
7. Special events like graduations, celebrations, fundraisers, and reunions.
<br />
<br />
8. Sports events: painting fans in their team colors and symbols has had a long tradition.
<br />
<br />
9. Festivals around the world. There are several festivals
specifically for body painting around the world, but there are many more
that would be a great place for body painting. Look up the festivals in
your area and find out how to become a vendor and what their
requirements and rules are.
<br />
<br />
10. Teach others how to do body painting. You could hold a one-time
workshop, give ongoing group classes or even do an online body painting
course (as I am doing).<br />
<br />
I hope this gives you some good ideas
about how you could make money as a body painting artist. Maybe you have
even thought of some ways that I didn't include...great! Choose one
method, research what you need to do to get started, and go for it!<br />
<br />
Bonus Tip:<br />
Here's
a secret hint...as you are considering one of the possibilities above.
Don't choose what you think would make you the most money...choose what
you think you would happiest and best at doing. You will always make
more doing something you love doing, in the long run!</div>

Body painting is one of the most unique kinds of art. People from
all over the world paint their bodies to express their thoughts and
feelings. People paint their bodies when they are cheering for their
team. They also paint their bodies for specific events. Just like a
clown paints his face to make people laugh similarly people get their
body painted for many reason. The painted body represents creativity and
imagination. There are certain tips one can follow while painting their
body. A certain procedure is followed for painting the body to ensure
that the paint looks beautiful and portrays a sharp image.<br />
Before
painting the body it is a good idea to wash and dry your body so that
the dust particles are removed. This will help in creating a uniform
layer of paint. There are several methods for painting your body. Select
the one that best suits you for the following: tempra, markers, liquid
latex, airbrush makeup, PAX makeup and textile acrylics. Each technique
has its own pros and cons. Using markers are safe and they are cheap but
it takes a lot of time to paint the body with markers. Also these
markers have to be frequently replaced as they finish up quickly. Using
tempra is a bad choice as it flakes off when it dries and makes quite a
mess. Although it is cheap but when the paint dries up it becomes
powdery.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The use of airbrush makeup to paint the body is a very
good choice and highly recommended by professional. Unfortunately it is
expensive but the quality is wonderful. Painting with the help of
airbrush makeup is flexible and provides excellence in the quality of
work. Another good choice for painting body is the use of textile
acrylics which are cheap, easy to use, good looking and safe to use. All
these are the perfect methods for painting the body. Apart from this
while painting the body one must keep certain things in mind. Use a
sponge if a larger area is to be painted, it is quicker and easier.
Visualizing the end result is a good idea as it will help in the perfect
painting of the body. Add special effects by using glitter and other
shiny cosmetics. Keep a bundle of tissues while painting so as to
quickly remove the mistakes while painting and drawing. All these tips
can help in painting the body perfectly.</div>

Each year during Fantasy Fest this event is held on the
waterfront overlooking scenic Key West harbor. Beautiful, sexy, almost
naked women, along with many creative and talented air brush design
artists come to the city during the week long adult themed costume party
that culminates with a huge parade on the Festival ending Saturday
night. Everyday during the week, Body Painting Artists can be seen
setting up their small studio booths on the streets and in different
shops, sidewalk cafes, bars, and painting the sexy, beautiful bodies of
women with exotic art designs. Some women get a different air brushed
design done everyday and walk the streets showing off their body art as
they wait for the big event competition that begins on the Friday
evening and is called "The Living Arts Airbrush Body Painting Contest".<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Airbrushed
Art design is an artistic talent that transforms your everyday skin
into a beautifully designed pattern, it can be a living animal, a
flower, a vampire, or almost any life form you so desire. The artists
use airbrushing to create a design or idea that you bring to them. Any
part of your body can be painted and covered with a creative design.
Body painting artists are very skilled artists and will cover any parts
of your body that you wish, from the top of your head to the tip of your
toe. And if you can't make up your mind which part to paint, you can
have your entire body air brushed so it completely disguises the real
you underneath the art. By using this method of airbrushing, and drawing
a design pattern, your body can be entirely transformed into your
wildest fantasy design form.<br />
Depending on the art design you
choose, the process can take from a several minutes to many hours. The
mastery of air brushed art design takes a little time and requires your
patience and cooperation with the artist who's turning you into a
vampire, a butterfly, a dragon or some other fantastic design.<br />
You
may be completely naked and no one will know because your covered up
and it looks like you have a costume on. Or you can have a clothing
outfit designed and painted on you and it will look as though your
dressed. The artist can design a dress, pants, shorts, or any clothing
that you wish, even make you look fully dressed or have a bikini outfit
on, any outfit you can imagine. The artists make it look so real it does
actually seem like you have clothes on...it's so lifelike looking!<br />
Not
all airbrushed body art means having to get completely naked and be
painted in front of a group of people. You can do it in a private
setting if your shy, or you can let others watch your transformation.
Any portion of your skin can be painted into a beautiful, sexy
airbrushed art design. Many women just appreciate the art and have
designs done on parts of their body to show off or to be kept private
for only certain eyes to see. Whatever the case may be, there really is
not a limit to what a person can have painted. A butterfly, a Dragon, a
star pattern, or a floral display, anything you may choose can be
designed and painted by the air brush artist.<br />
Your airbrushed
design will typically last for a day and can easily be removed. Because
it isn't permanent, you have the option to become whatever or whoever
your imagination desires. The only thing holding you back from being
doing it is your wildest imagination and choosing the design of what or
who you want to be!</div>

With the World Body Painting Festival (and of course the Body
Painting Award) coming up on the 17th of July, it's about time to get
you all fired up in your body painting know-how.<br />
More about this festival coming soon, but first a short introduction in the art of body painting.<br />
Body
painting is a form of body art, and has probably been around since the
beginning of civilization. In almost every tribalist culture, body
painting was performed during ceremonies or merely just for the beauty
of it. Back then they used clay and other natural pigments.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Body Painting" src="http://www.webgranth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Bike-Body-Painting.jpg" title="http://bodypaintingstyleyoung.blogspot.com/" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
Body painting still survives in parts of the world, and especially
'Mehndi', the form of body painting that uses henna dyes, is now very
popular in the western world. The henna tattoo is semi-permanent.<br />
Since
the 1960's, body painting emerged as an actual art form. However, there
is the never-ending discussion about it's social acceptability because
body painting practically always involves nudity.<br />
But no art
without paint of course, and you'll be happy to know that the paint is
restricted to guidelines: the body paint has to be non-toxic and
non-allergenic. The paint easily washes of with water and soap.<br />
As
for the henna dyes, which Mehndi uses, there's a difference between the
synthetic black henna, and the natural brown henna. The natural henna
dye is completely safe when body painting, but the synthetic black henna
dye could cause allergic reactions. You should have yourself patch
tested before using these at body painting.<br />
This should get you started, next time, more about the festival!</div>

Body art is the decoration of the human body. The most common
forms of body art are tattoos, professional makeup, body painting,
fashion makeup, face painting and temporary airbrush tattoos. Body
painting is a form of temporary body art. Unlike permanent tattoos, body
painting can lasts for several hours. Body painting has been a
significant part of rituals dating back thousands of years. Body
painting and face painting, along with dancing and drumming, were the
means for some cultures to reach specific altered state of
consciousness. In this state, group members would lose the sensation of
fear and pain and become fully dedicated to the group interests. This
state was crucial for physical survival and as a defense from predators,
enemies or other forces of the nature.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
In today's world body
painting is largely used in the fashion and film industry. It is also
commonly used as a method of gaining attention in political protests or
expressing rage, beliefs or feelings. Painting that is restricted to the
face is known as face painting, professional makeup or fashion makeup.
Traditional face painting is applied with face makeup, brush and sponge.
The more contemporary form of face painting utilizes Vibe airbrush face
makeup and an airbrush. Fashion makeup, also known as extreme beauty
makeup, consist primarily of designs applied around the eye area using
highly pigmented colors and shimmers.<br />
While permanent tattoos have
been around for thousands of years, the desire to remove or cover
permanent tattoos has likely existed almost as long. The same desire
that exists to remove or cover permanent tattoos also applies to scars
or skin imperfections that may exist on an individual's skin. Typical
processes for removing permanent tattoos or correcting or hiding scars
or skin imperfections include painful and expensive surgical procedures,
such as laser removal, that can result in scarring. Less permanent
methods involve the application of professional makeup. There are many
different types of professional makeup including foundation, powders,
lip sticks, mascaras and bronzers. Most of the professional makeup media
can be applied with a brush and sponge. Yet, the fastest and smoothest
application can be achieved with an airbrush.<br />
The most common form
of body painting is temporary airbrush tattoos. Temporary airbrush
tattoos are quickly applied using an airbrush and stencils. Airbrush
tattoos can last for days and are removable with rubbing alcohol.
Temporary airbrush tattoos have been applied for a variety of different
purposes, including decoration, social status, and as a sign of
endearment.</div>

If you are just getting started in body painting or face
painting, one thing you may not have considered is how you are going to
get all that paint off again!<br />
While your client may like being a
zombie or a tiger at a party, they may not want to go to work looking
like one. In any case, they will want to get cleaned up before going to
bed or doing pretty much anything else, and you will be expected to know
how to remove the paint you put on them safely and painlessly.<br />

Here are 7 quick tips for removing body paint from the skin, and also for staying clean and neat while you are working.<br />
<br />
1. Check your paints and packaging.<br />
Always
use safe paints that have been made specifically for face painting and
body painting. They should explicitly say that is what they are for.
Read what they say, either on the label, or on the website, about how to
clean them up. Some body paints are made to be cleaned with water;
others may use a special kind of remover that you will have to buy. Be
sure you are cleaning them off skin using the methods the packaging says
to use.<br />
<br />
2. Use warm water, sponges, and cloths.<br />
If your
body painting or face painting supplies say to use only water, or mild
soap and water, then follow those instructions. Use warm water if
possible to make cleanup nicer for your clients, and easier paint
removal. Sponges (the same kind you use to apply body paints) and soft
cloths are the best tools; you can use paper towels, but why not save
the environment a bit and use something re-useable? And using the same
types of sponges you use to put paint on will give you the best kinds of
shapes for removing it as well.<br />
<br />
3. Use non-allergenic, natural, safe skin soaps.<br />
If
you've chosen your face and body paints correctly, you have made sure
they are meant for face painting and body painted and are almost
guaranteed not to cause an allergic reaction. Be sure your clean up
soaps follow the same standards. Natural bases like glycerin and
castille are good; try to avoid perfumes, artificial colors, and
chemicals. If it says 'natural' or 'hypo-allergenic' on the label, you
may still want to check the ingredients, they may still include scents
or high amounts of alcohol-stearates, which can cause sensitive skin to
react.<br />
<br />
4. Be careful around the eyes.<br />
Watch cleaning around
the eyes especially - of course ask your client to close their eyes, and
go slowly. Some makeup suppliers (Mehron, for example) carry special
cleaners especially made for cleaning around eyes; you may want to try
one of those. You could also look at makeup suppliers for smaller tools
meant for cleaning around eyes. The skin around the eyes (and of course
the eye itself) is more sensitive than the rest of the skin, so what
works on the rest of the skin may not equally well around the eyes.<br />
One
good trick is to clean the other areas entirely first, and leave the
eyes for very last - that way you will not be getting more paint near
the eyes once they are clean, and will only have to clean them once.
That way you can avoid repetitive cleaning (and irritation) of the eye
area - as well as extra work on your part.<br />
5. Baby Wipes are great, but use the right ones.<br />
Baby
wipes are great to have on hand, but remember they were formulated for
wiping a very different area of the body than the face. This means they
have probably not been tested for facial safety and irritation. I would
recommend getting baby wipes that are 'natural,' but again, check the
ingredients on the back. You want no fragrances if possible, and no
dyes. Sometimes you can get them especially for 'sensitive skin,' again,
read the labels. Then try them on your face to see how they work before
using them on others.<br />
<br />
6. Protect clothing while painting - and washing up.<br />
Paints
made for face painting and body painting should never stain the face,
but the same can't be said for clothing. Even water based body paints
can still stain clothing. Keep clothing away from the paint as it is
being applied, of course - but you will want to watch it when you are
cleaning up as well. Soaking paints with water and washing them off can
be a drippy process, and colors are even more likely to get on clothes
then than when painting. Consider using covering cloths while you are
cleaning, even if you didn't when painting.<br />
<br />
7. And Last But Not Least: Don't Scrub!<br />
Don't
scrub the skin, even if the paints are not coming off properly.
Scrubbing can cause bad reactions even if everything else is safe for
skin. If your paint is not coming off quickly, be patient, let it soak a
bit and try again, gently. Try using something else to clean such as
baby wipes or a cloth with a little soap squirted directly on it. You
may also want to take a look at the paint's instructions on cleaning up
again - maybe you missed something on cleaning up. In any case, don't
get frustrated and scrub! Your client will appreciate it.<br />
<br />
So
that's it - 7 best tips for cleaning up safely and easily after face
painting or body painting. You may want to print these out as a reminder
sheet to include in your painting supplies, that way if you have a
cleaning problem, you can consult them quickly!</div>
