Body painting is a common form of application of colours, drawing, and painting of pictures on human body. It is an art in which, the human body is used as a medium for paint. There are different reasons for body painting, and a type of body painting is face painting. Face painting is the artistic application of colours, drawings, and paints on face. Face painters and artist use paints to decorate their faces, to show their feelings, or desires through painting on their faces. This is done using the water based cosmetic paints, and it has become a very common activity for different parties, celebrations, and events.
For many centuries, people have used face painting for different purposes including military, religious, and hunting.

There are many different types of art in the world. I consider “Art” to be something a person can find beauty in some form. It enhances life as we live it – it breathes new life into the world, it creates fads that may come and go – and even return at times.

There are many things aspiring artists need to make their mark on the world; inspiration, an audience, and a medium. However none are so integral and yet so overlooked as art supplies. The roof of the Sistine chapel, the statue of David, the Mona Lisa, the Statue of Liberty… none of these works of art would be possible without a great deal of time, effort, and importantly but often forgotten, supplies.
So what do you look for in art supplies? Well that depends greatly on what the medium you work in is. If you’re a painter, you need brushes, colors, palettes, and of course canvass. A sculptor would take one look at the list and write it off as useless. If they were working in metal, they would need clay and tools to work it, as well as the means to form a mold. If they were working in stone, they’d need the block of rock to work on, as well as chisels and hammers.
