One form of body art is aquagrim. People used to decorate the body with mural for a long time, especially in eastern cultures, and gradually this form of self-expression also touched Western culture.
Aquagrim is one of the simplest forms of body art, because the image is easily washed off with water and does not leave behind a partially remaining picture, as it happens, for example, with henna.
Aquagrim is convenient for images with smooth color transitions, as well as for creating clear lines, and therefore the manifestation of fantasy here can be unlimited.
Recently, aquagrim is used not only in narrow theatrical circles, but also gained mass popularity - many children's holidays and any carnival celebrations rarely do without the use of body paints.
How to apply aquagrim?
Before you start creating a fairy-tale or mystical image, you need to prepare the necessary tools and colors. Looking through the extraordinary transformations of people with the help of aqua-grime, it seems that the artist needed a lot of tools, brushes and paints, but this does not always correspond to reality.
To create aquaprime you will need:
- brush with natural pile medium thickness, and in the presence of small lines in the idea of drawing - a thin brush;
- several colors of aqua-grime - as a rule, it is difficult to do without white and black, and for New Year's aqua-grime - without sparkles;
- if the plans to tint the face completely or cover large areas of the body, then do not do without sponge.
For a professional aqua-master, the list of necessary items increases. In the set it is desirable to have:
- oilcloth tablecloth to easily clean the workplace of paints;
- a set of brushes for make-up - beveled, straight, rounded, large and small; The more this arsenal, the more artistic maneuvers can be done;
- several sponges;
- a lot of color paints, differing in shades;
- different types of glitters.
The scheme of drawing of aqua-grime for each figure is different, but there are some rules that are applicable for all images:
- First, lighter shades appear, then darker;
- The technique of application is similar to watercolors - the brush should impose a pattern with the help of lines - short or long; in no case can not flash the brush, trying to draw space in this way; brush fibers should remain even;
- since aquagrim is easily washed off with water, sometimes it is applied with a hair spray or a professional fixer to fix it.
So, the approximate scheme of imposing aqua-grime is this:
- Apply a light foundation to the skin, if it is supposed to have a colored background. This is done using a dipped in water, and then in paint, sponge.
- Draw light lines and details with a brush.
- Draw dark lines.
- Decorate the pattern with sequins, if necessary.
- Lock the picture.
Simple aquagrime for adults to Halloween
The most popular aquagrim to Halloween is a vampire that can be made in a variety of variations. Eyes are made in black, and the skin is bleached with light paint. Lips can be made black or red, or at all, to create the effect of the skeletal bone.
Sequins, as a rule, are not used in this image, unless, if the glamor version of the vampire is not conceived. In this case, it is logical to use black or red glitters.
Aquagrim cat is another variant of aqua-grime not only for Halloween, but for any other carnival holiday. As Halloween is legendary, dark forces triumph, it is better to make an aggressive version of a cat - a wild panther or a leopard. Use with orange, yellow and black colors.
Aquagrim butterfly can be cute, but gloomy dark hues can make a dramatic version of the image. In this case, eyes, eyebrows and the temporal region are prominent. What is the extent of the wings of the butterfly depends on the idea. Use the bridge of the nose as a place to draw a torso and a mustache of a butterfly.
New Year's Aqua Grim
Aquagrim on the face to the New Year carnival is distinguished, above all, by the abundance of sparkles. The most versatile and interesting option that will suit a New Year's dress is the mask of a stranger. Draw it around the eyes using colors that are repeated in the outfit to make it look like a kind of costume.
