Body paintings that turn the human body into animal wildlife

Shannon Holt is a body painter, that means she uses the human body as a canvas for her creations. With all its asperities, the skin isn’t an easy medium to paint on, but it also offers the opportunity to create some sense of ledge.

With her “Florida wildlife” series, Holt created animal portraits that took 6 to 12 hours each. A lot of work for artworks that are erased after the photo shooting.
