I guess it's a testament to how long I've been a a member here that my nick is "bodypainter" since I haven't really painted any bodies in 6 years. Until now, that is. My wife and I are returning to Fantasy Fest this year and I have rescued my airbrushes from storage and am practicing for this year's event.
So, I am hella rusty right now. Even worse, I'm not much of an artist even when I am well practiced. Anyway, I wanted to share my efforts so far this year. My goal is to go to Key West at Halloween with a dozen paintings and accompanying costume bits that I can do without lots of effort so we can all get on with the party. Here's what I've done so far.
The models are my wife and a few of our friends. Much thanks to them for being so patient with me.
A scene oft-repeated the last few weeks!
These next couple paintings will look a lot better when we've got the wig and face makeup that goes with.
A just for fun painting.
Experimenting with airbrush makeup instead of paint.
I gotta work more on this concept.
Another just for fun painting.
Your basic sunset scene.
That's it for now, but probably more tomorrow and periodically through the end of October!
