Whole-body painting

|
Whole body painting is an art movement started in the 1950s or 1960s. It is a painting technique that involves covering an artist's model in paint and then having the model touch or roll on a canvas or other medium to transfer the paint there.
The effect produced by this technique creates an image-transfer from the model's body to the medium. This includes all the curves of the model's body (typically female) being reflected in the outline of the image.
This technique was not necessarily monotone; multiple colors on different body parts sometimes produced interesting effects.
