Thanks Sherry ~

Thanks Cat ~
I think that Body-Painting takes A Lot of time and effort.
(In addition to talent of course).
But the Work involved is so much
for something that will be washed off soon.
Frustrating for the Artist.
Do you feel the same way?

Not frustrated, no - I always make sure I get photos, and its especially great when I can get professional photos!
Half of the fun is getting to spend time with the model, many I met when I painted them have become friends I keep in touch with.

A lot of art is ephemeral anyway; a lot of what I used to teach was Wild Art with things that naturally disperse/ rot away. Photographers as artists often take pics of things that are only there for a second. Ans nowadays I reckon more people have art on the computers etc as jpegs than on their walls so it fits with modern life.

I did look into becoming a tattoo artist which is the opposite- that LASTS even if you make a mistake!
And its the same as face painting really but you usually have enough time to do a better job AND get to know your canvas...
