If you’re interested in body painting, this page would be helpful to refer to. Use non-toxic paints and pigments. Avoid trust issues with 100-yen store paints; it’s better to use domestically produced children’s watercolor paints, as they’re safe even if licked or swallowed, considering they’re intended for children. Also, avoid expensive paints, as they might contain toxic pigments.
In my case, both the model and I handle everything from painting to photography, so we plan everything in advance for smooth execution. It’s best if the model stands in a pose with arms and legs spread, making it easier to paint the entire body. Expect it to take at least an hour to paint the whole body thoroughly, which is still quite fast. Take photos quickly without breaks; as the paint starts to dry, it may peel off the skin, so swift photography is crucial. Additionally, prepare a mixture of cornstarch and hot water in advance to thicken it, then mix in pigments for easy cleanup after the shoot. Using paint directly can stain the skin and make removal difficult, so be cautious.
