My Daughter's First Body Painting

Well, actually, it's a back painting since she's only 7 but I wanted to share as I'm so proud of her for sitting for the session with very little complaining and only a few fidgit moments (you can see them in the line work, lol). Materials are all DFX/KRYOLAN Metallics/Interference DFX White and Paradise Black (because DFX stains her badly). Thanks for looking!

Get Out!!!! That is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!!!!!!! love it, love iit, loooooove it!

Outstanding!!!!!! Jayde she must have just loved!!!!! it. Beautiful color combo on her skintone and the shading looks really good. I know she didn't want to have to take it off. Well done Jayde....well done.

That would make for a stunning belly painting as well.....just a thought

Um, were is that fidgety linework exactly? Because I think you might have lost your mind. That is outstanding!

Well...I guess you know what they say about being your own critic...

Really, thanks everyone, I am relatively pleased considering how some of the face painting I've done on her has turned out once she got bored, lol. Where are the mistakes? Well:

1. Right antennae: cockeyed due to an unexpected cough.
2. Left top swirl: a little wiggly and not sharp pointed because I hit a "tickle spot"
3. Right top wing swirls: loss of symmetry because of a sudden bout of giggling (she was watching Hannah Montana while I painted).

Tamara, she was infatuated for like 4 minutes, then it was back to business as usual. She was more excited about being able to pull a halter top out of storage during the winter.

...and the fact that i am running around the planet senseless is not just a rumor... it's an unmitigated fact, lol

Thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate them. I now have to rangle up a design worthy of my 15 year old line backer's back.

we don't notice it...I know you are your own worst ctiric as am I to my own work...

it looks amazing!!

Soooo, so beautiful!!! Love the colors, love the shading...just beautiful!

Very gorgeous. I love anything butterflies, and anything purple so of course I think it's beautiful. Great work.

GREAT!!!!!!!

It's really fantastic. I love the colors.

Jayde, that is absolutely beautiful!

Thanks! You guys are sweet (and some of you are just a bit silly too)

Jayde, beautiful! I love the shading!
I need a cute little daughter that will sit still for painting.... Oh well... I stopped at 5 kids & now they're all teens & will have nothing to do with it

It's Beautiful!
