The following is an entry sent in for our monthly Competition!
“Lines, Dots and Determination!”
Sent in by Harmony Roth Shabtai
My name is Harmony Roth Shabtai and I am a makeup artist and face & body painter from Israel.
I began body painting and face painting on 2004 and before that never drew.
If anything, I thought I have no talent.
All that changed for me when in 2005 I went to do body paintings in a festival named boombamela (http://www.boombamela.co.il/site/gallery.php?g=12 ) where the atmosphere is so light and relaxed- and fell in love with face and body paintings.
Since then I took some private painting lessons, added face painting to my makeup artistry, and in 2007 went to the amazing body painting festival (http://www.bodypainting-festival.com/ ) in Austria to have fun, meet people and compete.I came in the middle and enjoyed myself so much!!!!
This art has given me so much pleasure. I enjoy it and enjoy teaching it. I came a long way from when I started- now folks are amazed with my ability.
I always say, though, that all paintings are composed from lines and dots, and with enough determination, anyone can do it.
Happy painting!
