While working on the body paint design for a photo shoot at the desert botanical gardens, I wanted to create a fairy-like, desert Mother Earth figure (the “desert Mother Earth” name brought about by Chris… it felt right to run with this character direction!) The design needed to be simple enough to get ready in just a couple hours for the schedule: 2:30am - Start painting 5:30am - Leave the house 6am - Arrive at botanical gardens for photo shoot When focusing on building the color palette, it was important to choose a variety of colors that would represent the vibrant beauty the desert holds. The plan was to create layers of color that were thin and light enough to not need a full layer of body paint as a base. The design is rooted in a thin layer of blues to represent the sky as well as a variety of greens to highlight the many shades of green in the desert. When I moved to Arizona, I was surprised by how much green there actually was and I’ve really enjoyed painting and exploring the many shades. Some desert plants that inspired the palette include Globe Mallows appearing in pinks and oranges, yellow cactus blooms and purple Doubtful Knight’s Spur that has been thriving this season. The photos from Chris continue to blow me away the more that I look at them (and the more space I have from the project date). Truthfully, these photos have made me notice so much more of the beauty in the body paint than I was initially seeing. Doing a head to toe character in a couple hours very early in the morning was a challenge, which is why keeping the design simple was important. That morning I felt that the makeup was just okay and I wasn’t head over heels for it in a way that I would have liked to be. The more I’ve viewed Chris’s photos from this day, the more I see how everything came together just as it was meant to that morning. Chris, thank you for sharing creative energy in the shoots we have worked together on so far! I really cherish these photos and I look forward to when we find ourselves creating again next! 📸 @christopher_lee_creates 📍 @dbgphx
