How to Airbrush a Marble Effect on a Human Body

This is an intro for air brushing a marble effect on a human body.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• air compressor, airbrush, airbrush paint bottle, rubbing alcohol, baby powder, cosmetic brush, wit & black body paint, white make up, and cotton pads.

1. 
    
   Prep work

   Prep person before airbushing by cleaning skin with rubbing alcohol. I use cotton pads. This will remove oil, sweat, sunscreen and lotion. I like to use a painters tarp underneath model. This keeps any paint from landing on floor.

2. 
    
   White make up for face

   I start out with using white make up on the face. You can apply this with a cosmetic pad. I do this because the body paint has smell and some people can't take the smell. It is alto easier to get off later.

3. 
    
   Airbush marbel on face

   Once the make up is on I airbrush the marble by using a stencil. You want the effect to be light & dark.

   I start to airbrush the body with a marble effect using black airbrush body paint. I move the stencil all over to create different lines. Here is the back view of the effect.

   Once you have covered the whole body your project is complete. Now is the time to add special effects. Like a sheered toga or head piece.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid painting the face it is very difficult to remove paint. Always have the model keep their eyes closed when painting or air brushing face. Insted of airbrushing the body you can sponge the paint on. Less of an odor!
• Do not spray anyone in the eyes. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation.
