To me, there is something simply magical about body painting. It is an experience that works on so many levels. It is a simultaneous act of giving and receiving for both artist and model. The model freely gives their body to the artist painting them, and in return receives the gift of becoming a living work of art. Likewise, the artist gives their time and attention to the model, who provides them with the canvas upon which to unleash their creativity. Then, there is the very tactile, sensual side of the feel of the brush on the skin, which can be very relaxing, sometimes even bordering on the erotic.
