Usually, I start sketching outlines on the body while in the exact pose and then paint the whole thing in a different, relaxing position, so it is not so harmful to the model. Especially holding a position for a while can take lots of energy or even be painful. It is very important to care well for the model, because they need to feel healthy, eat, drink and go to the toilet. A body painting takes between 4 to 10 hours and I have to finish the same day, which can be exhausting and stressful. I always have to deal with a 3D canvas, with lights and shadows, positions and proportions.


I love this kind of art, because the human body as a canvas is inspiring and challenging.
