Western Painting

Origin of body painting is not known, but its use is widespread - sometimes as an art form, sometimes as part of the tradition, and sometimes by necessity. Evidence of body painting can be found in the ancient practice across cultures and even a popular fashion statement at the present time. There is a painting style or technique of the body. It may be a local planning or in full, covering the entire body in some cases. Pigments are used, can be natural or synthetic. Similarly, it could be the work of an expert or a novice amateur hand. Unlike permanent tattoos, body painting is temporary or partial permanent.
