Experimentations

I created this piece on the arm. It was my first attempt of body painting. I used aqua colours toachieve this.

This is another photo of my first attempt. I know i can do much better!

This is a tribal tattoo that i painted on my friends upper arm. Unfortunately the picture quality isn't great. I used supra colour for this and finished it off with loose translucent powder to stop it from smudging and looking too shiny.

For this photo, i found an image in a magazine and placed it down onto the skin. I then dabbed acetone over the back of it which made the ink leak onto the skin and look like this.

I then painted on top of the ink with supra colours and it gave this great effect.

This was my first attempt of scarring. It looked more realistic in person but doesn';t look great in the photo. I used liquid latex to stick on rice and seeds and then covered the whole piece in skin colour grease paint.

This is a piece i made out of toilet tissue, latex and foundation. I tried to create a scarring method that shows the peeled skin.

In this session we added pieces to the hair to create a tribal effect. I tied up the hair into a high ponytail and wrapped the hair around a polystyrene ball.

This is the same, yet with two polystyrene balls of different sizes.

This is also the same as the previous styles, yet with three polystyrene balls of different sizes. I have also wrapped white crepe hair around the three balls to cover the bands and to give it a unique plaiting effect.

In this session we had to style the hair and then add fillers earth. Once it dried and went hard, we then painted a design onto it. I did a french fishtail braid in the hair which was quite effective.

This is another photo of the fillers earth in the hair, yet showing the front.

I smeared fillers earth onto the hand and then using the end of my brush, i scraped in a deisgn.. Once it dried and went hard, i then painted the design.

I found it to be quite effectie and i liked the cracking reptile skin effect it gave.
