This body painting course will focus on both giving you the technical skills and giving you specific body painting looks.
Each week we will cover a different theory topic, a number of techniques and specific looks.
For example, you may start with learning stencils, then how to airbrush/sponge/brush a stencil, then we'll paint a full corset look, then we'll amp up the corset using the airbrush to add additional dimension. So each technique will lead to the next until you have the confidence to create your own looks.
