How do I paint someone white
As a photographer I dont usually paint people, however, I have a shot which requires my llama to be white from the waist up. What should I use? May 30 06 11:13 am Link I think you may be able to find something on here. If not, let me know. http://stageandtheatermakeup.com/mhliquidmu.htm May 30 06 11:23 am Link paint her in photoshop May 30 06 11:27 am Link halloween makeup works too https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic … 912dbac3a4 May 30 06 11:29 am Link you need an airbrush artist. otherwise, it will look cheesy and patchy. airbrush! good luck!

May 30 06 12:03 pm Link White tempera paint - it's about $6 for a 12-oz bottle. Non-toxic. You can get it at any art store. (edit)I apply it with a damp sponge, fairly heavily. Or have the model just rub on big goopy wet handfuls of it and photograph that in process. Washes off with soap and water. mjr. May 30 06 12:04 pm Link Marcus J. Ranum wrote: Thanks.

Some models complain about the fumes, but I'm so busy coughing that I can't hear them. May 30 06 12:11 pm Link A really talented graphic artist can create the effect without the pain of actual painting or makeup May 30 06 12:28 pm Link Or, just hire a model as pale as I am...then you can skip the paint altogether! May 30 06 01:17 pm Link Don't use tempera, don't use paint. Body paint or makeup does not cause pain. White is one of the trickiest coverages to get nice and even. If you want it done right, I'd suggest hiring someone. If you insist on doing it yourself, go with multiple layers of a thin product like a powder or airbrush makeup. You will NOT get much time to shoot before crakling and wear becaomes visible. May 30 06 04:41 pm Link The evil double post monster ate this reply. May 30 06 04:43 pm Link Hire a make-up Artist, and dont use tempra paint, use something made for skin, i would hate it if the model had a reaction to the non body paint, it could cause a rash or worse .  like Rick said, white is tricky so i would would get a pro on hand unless you want to spend hrs painstakenly painting your model and even then you might not be able to get an even coverage.

Jun 01 06 07:14 pm Link Ask the paint department at Home Depot !! Jun 01 06 07:21 pm Link Some glue:) Actually water base paint should be fine or go to a costume shop and get white make up. Jun 01 06 07:22 pm Link I find airbrushing, rollers, or paintbrushes so impersonal.... fingerpainting all the way!  Jun 01 06 07:26 pm Link Star wrote: I concur. I do makeup, and am an airbrush artist, and will tell you that's the only way to go. Jun 01 06 07:30 pm Link Snazaroo, Kryolan, or Wolfe Bros. body paint with a sponge or brush for starters. It doesn't have to be perfect. Then airbrush a topcoat of white to even things out. Of course you will need to hire an airbrush artist to do it hopefully! Kryolan also has a ready to use liquid airbrush paint that doesn't have to be thinned so the consistency will remain even. Good Luck! Jun 01 06 10:01 pm Link |
