Finally a New Site…..
I have just set more dates for the Bodypainting Masterclasses on my lovely, sparkling new website.
Making a new site has been an interesting task! I have spent happy hours going through all the files of the student’s work and I am stunned by the creativity of everyone. If you look at the gallery you will see so many fabulous images, most of them by people who have never manifested their creativity before.
I feel privileged to be able to run this course. I used to teach at the London College of Fashion but they cut the hours back on the Bodypainting classes so I moved the course to my house and to be able to spend two days, immersed in paints and brushes, teaching students how to manipulate light and paint, watching each one of them discover their inner visions and help to make them come to life on a real, human, body is a wild experience every time.
Each time I launch a series of Masterclasses I receive swathes of emails from people asking if they can paint as they have never done it before. The models I use are people who have written to me because they have always wanted to be painted, so the combination of desires and interest makes for wonderful days of creative expression.
The second day of the course is a challenging one, it is the meeting of brush, imagination and skin and I push, support, assist, encourage, watch, and oversee the emergence of all the images that you see in the student’s gallery.
If you ever wanted to paint on skin and were not sure you could, trust me, you can learn. Join me in London for a two day Masterclass and learn how to paint clothes, create Dali-esque images, make tribal mud work all over the body, paint transparent layers one on top of the other, create the illusion of glorious full-body tattoos….. The list is endless, the learning curve steep, the experience can change the course of your life.
If you look at the sections of my work in the galleries you can see the extraordinary places my art has allowed me to, how you can use the skills.
For a taster of some of the lessons on the courses take a look at my YouTube channel, and if you cannot get to London there is always the Bodypainting Masterclasses DVD, the brush kit and the paints kit…… Learn at home.
