Face Painting Gallery— Tribal Approach at NY Restoration Project Family Day

Saturday June 2, 2012 at the beautifully restored Swindler Cove Park for New York Restoration Project Family Day. For our third event at this beautiful location we chose to paint faces using a tribal mask approach, based particularly on the cultural use of face painting and masks based in nature images and intended to evoke nature spirits.

by Christopher Agostino    www.agostinoarts.com

The day time demonstration sessions at the Kryolan booth at the Face and Body Art International Convention were only two hours long, so when a young man volunteered to have his torso painted I decided to do something using their UV Aquacolors, which would allow me to get a maximum effect in a minimum of painting time.

Saraswati — Body Painting at FABAIC 2012 with Kryolan Aquacolors

"Saraswati, Goddess of Knowledge" — painted on May 24 at FABAIC 2012

For my first demonstration painting at the Kryolan booth at the Face and Body Art International Convention this year, I chose a design to fit the convention’s Bollywood theme. Saraswati is a goddess of knowledge, a very ancient figure of Indian mythology, named after a river. This body design is derived from a more complex one I have yet to paint, which includes some of the intricate linework of the face and body art for the Theyyam Festival in the Kerala region of India. That complexity is only alluded to here in simplified form in the face design. This body painting is done with Kryolan’s Aquacolors, including Interferenze Copper and Bronze. Continue reading →
