How to Paint on Skin

Painting on skin can be a fun and interesting way to be artistic. Here are some tips to get started.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Skin paint
• Baby wipes
• Brushes
• Stencils (optional)

1. First, you need to choose a paint that is specifically for skin. Using other paints may damage the skin or cause an allergic reaction.

2. Keep baby wipes on hand to gently clean up mistakes.

3. Use only synthetic brushes. Animal hair brushes may cause allergic reactions.

4. Beginners should probably use stencils and then move on to freehand designs once they are used to painting on skin. People with fairly good drawing skills and/or painting skills may be able to paint on skin without stencils.

Tips & Warnings

• For your first time, choose a subject that will be still for you.
• Never use art paints, house paints or craft paint on skin.
