Description Another reproduction of Klimt’s painting.

Originally when discussing what to paint on the model, we didn’t have this piece in mind. When the model arrived at the studio, she flipped through a Klimt calendar and made a remark that Klimt was her favorite artist. As we looked through the images, we noticed that the figure in “Judith” has a very similar hair style as the model’s, so we decided to choose that piece for the painting.

In the editing, I made the face on the painting the focal point as it is in the original painting and very common in Klimt’s painting. I did that by reducing the contrast of the figure and applied colors so she blend with the background while preserving the colors in the painting.

Model: Shamika C

Fantastic Klimt ,man!! You really do great Bodypaintings... is a pity that when they wash the paintng goes away... do you paint on canvas as well?

I do although now I paint on bodies more. Although I like the permanence of painting on canvas, not being able to get it off my hands is annoying, because that means I'd need to store it somewhere.

Please make more art and never stop painting on bodies, But you should also paint or canvas cause the beautiful pieces can perdure and live much more longer even hundrens of years think if the great painters like Van Gohg Leonardo, miguel Angel hadn't painted on canvas could we see his works right now?

Thank you for the words of encouragement.

I think one of the most important thing to consider as an artist is the relevancy of the medium.

I really enjoy painting on cavas, but since the medium of our era is ini digital format, the best way to get my work experienced by others is by converting to digital.

Wow, now THAT is simply astounding. The model is perfectly Klimt-like. Klimt definitely would have approved
