Model preparation info

Preparation info for models:

  • Please eat something before you come and make sure you stay hydrated during the day.
  • Please be prepared to do your own hair and make up since most likely we won’t paint your face too much. We’ll decide together what we’re going to do as the painting takes shape.
  • Please bring high heels, which would be helpful for improving the posture during the photo shoot.
  • You will be in nude while we paint you. Please remove pubic hair if you’re getting the front side of your body painted. Also, don’t apply too much lotion because it will affect the way the paint interact with your skin.
  • We use paints that are specifically made for skin application (brands: Ben Nye, Kryolan and Mehron). You can remove the paint by showering. Some colors might be more stubborn and require scrubbing. To facilitate removal, you can use rubbing alcohol, make up remover or baby wipes.
  • Please bring hair bands if you have a long hair that might get in the way.
  • Bring a loose fitting clothing that you can wear after the painting is done if you intend to preserve it as long as you possibly can.
  • You are more than welcome to bring a friend as long as s/he doesn’t interfere with the creative process.
