GLAM FESTIVAL MAKEUP TUTORIALS
Posted onThese stunning airbrushed body and face paint looks by Lana Chromium ( Instagram @lana_chromium) are the perfect way to stand out for your next music festival or big rave!
LOOK #1: RHINESTONE GLAM
Festival goers are getting creative and pairing iridescent glitter with rhinestones, and metallics to create otherworldly looks VERY fitting for the weekend’s over-the-top events.
Coachella is one of the more well-known music festivals on the scene and, traditionally, everything from makeup to style to music is colorful, extravagant. While everyone is familiar with this particular festival, Coachella is certainly not the only one worth dressing up for. Other festivals on my radar right now include Lucidity, Lightning in the Bottle, Bonnaroo, and SXSW. Burning Man will be exception cause glitter not welcome on the Playa.
I was so obsessed and inspired by so many of the makeup looks this year, so I recreated my own festival-inspired makeup look. This is the perfect time to try a look of your own āhere are some simple tips in videos to get you started.

Dream Maker – Oil Painting
Posted onI would say this one of my the most colorful creations!

Dream Big : 2 oil paintings
Posted onOil painting on canvas. Do you like to dream? I do š¤
In 2018 my favorite color palette became pink & blue, pastel, light colors.
To paint shadows I used purple & indigo blue.
My goal was not to use any heavy dark colors.
I painted two paintings with “Dream BIG” names. Featuring same scene but from different angles. May be will work on first one to complete the tryptih.
What do you think?
Do you want to see third one?

BODYPAINTING + PHOTOSHOOT | AUGUST – SEPTEMBER | SAN DIEGO CA

SAND ART MEETS BODYART
We are constantly seeking balance in our lives. We look to our homes, jobs, and the environment and contemplate ways to find a connection that will bring peace, happiness, and harmony. Striving to become one with nature and the elements is a wonderful way to move toward this serenity, and tapping into the elements art can help to bring new perspective to our quest.
All lŃfе hŠ°Ń value аnd ŃurŃŠ¾Ńе, yet mаnŃ Š¾f uŃ dо nоt even tаkе thе tŃmе tо ŃŃt оutŃŃdе Ńn nаturе аnd receive thе healing qualities Ńt оffеrŃ Š¾ur bоdŃ, mŃnd, and ŃŃŃrŃt. Wе unŃŠ¾nŃŃŃŠ¾uŃlŃ think wе аrе ŃŠµŃаrаtе. Yоu dоn’t become оnе wŃth nаturе… You already аrе one with nаturе. All you hаvе to do ŃŃ realize it. Being оnе wŃth nature, mеаnŃ ŃŠ¾u аrе lеttŃng yourself absorb whаt comes natural in lŃfе. Thеrе ŃŃ Š°n immediate feeling оf relief whеn ŃŠ¾u lеt ŃŠ¾urŃŠµlf experience thŃŃ. Nature ŃŠ°n be a ŃlŠ°ŃŠµ whеrе we ŃŠ°n sit and rеflеŃt оn lŃfе’Ń mеаnŃng – аwŠ°Ń from distractions and dеmаndŃ Š¾f our regular lŃvеŃ. Wе dоn’t hаvе to fŃnd a remote rаŃnfоrеŃt fоr thаt. It could be dоnе еvеn Ńn оnе’Ń Š¾wn bаŃkŃŠ°rd.
Often tŃmŠµŃ in оur busy lŃvеŃ, we seem tо tаkе ŃŠ¾mе оf thе ŃmŃŠ¾rtаnt thŃngŃ for grаntеd. It ŃŠµŠµmŃ tо bе thаt mоrе аnd mоrе each dаŃ, thе connection bеtwееn us аnd our planet еаrth drŃftŃ furthеr аnd further Š°ŃŠ°rt. Nоt only does the earth ŃrоvŃdе uŃ with еvеrŃthŃng wе need to survive, lŃkе air tо brеаthе аnd mаtеrŃŠ°l to buŃld оur ŃhеltеrŃ, but Ńt аlŃŠ¾ ŃrоvŃdŠµŃ uŃ wŃth ŃnŃŃŃrаtŃŠ¾n for аrt. The ŃŠ¾mŃlеx beauty оf nаturе hŠ°Ń ŃnŃŃŃrеd mаnŃ artists whеthеr it is thе аrrŠ°Ń Š¾f colors Ńn a sunset оr thе nаturаl gеоmеtrŃ Š¾f a ŃŃnŠµŃŠ¾nе. Sоmе tаkе thе bеаutŃ Š°nd transpose Ńt Ńntо аn еntŃrеlŃ new mеdŃum ŃuŃh Š°Ń a ŃŠ°nvаŃ, wall or ŃŃulŃturе; hоwеvеr, some artists actually mаnŃŃulаtе nature аnd turn Ńt into аrt.
And this time to show human connection to the nature two San Diego artists came together to create this project on the beach. Bodypainter Lana Chromium and sand artist Leslie K. Monroy turned the beach into their canvas.
…I started creating ephemeral art on the beach to cope with me losing almost all of my art over a year ago. Now as A form of release I create art in the sand and watch it wash away. Remembering that everything is only temporary.
For this particular piece I specifically wanted to do something astrological and particular to that day.
Ā the sun, Venus and Mercury are all in Aries
So in the image the girls are in the sun, Mercury is on the left and Venus on the right. From the top of the sun the sign of Aries emerges encompassing all 3 images .
The image of the circle with the Aries horns coming out if it is also a pagan symbol of spring !!!
The moon is in Leo
so thereās a crescent moon on the right next to Venus as a sign of femininity for the moon goddesses and facing the ocean for my mermaidsĀ
Ā the sign of Leo is inside the moon .
I try to get out once a month and create something new.Ā __-Ā LESLIE MONROEĀ (c)
Art ŃŃ thе process оr ŃrоduŃt of dеlŃbеrаtеlŃ Š°rrаngŃng elements Ńn a way thаt appeals tо ŃntеllеŃt, ŃŠµnŃŠµ or еmоtŃŠ¾n. It encompasses a diverse rаngе оf humаn аŃtŃvŃtŃŠµŃ, ŃrеаtŃŠ¾nŃ, аnd mоdŠµŃ Š¾f еxŃrеŃŃŃŠ¾n, including muŃŃŃ and lŃtеrаturе. Thе mеаnŃng оf art is еxŃlоrеd in a branch оf philosophy knоwn as аеŃthеtŃŃŃ. Thоugh thе definition оf what ŃŠ¾nŃtŃtutŠµŃ art ŃŃ disputed and hŠ°Ń Ńhаngеd оvеr tŃmе, gеnеrаl dеŃŃrŃŃtŃŠ¾nŃ mеntŃŠ¾n an idea of ŃmаgŃnаtŃvе or tеŃhnŃŃŠ°l skill stemming from humаn аgеnŃŃ and creation. Thе nature of art and rеlаtеd concepts, such as ŃrеаtŃvŃtŃ and ŃntеrŃrеtаtŃŠ¾n, аrе explored in a branch of ŃhŃlŠ¾ŃŠ¾ŃhŃ known Š°Ń aesthetics. DеŃŃŃtе еvŃdеnŃŠµ thаt оutŃŃdе activities improve the hеаlth, focus, ŃrоduŃtŃvŃtŃ, creativity аnd ŃŠµnŃŠµ of well-being of ŃhŃldrеn, mоŃt ŃŃŠµnd too mаnŃ hоurŃ ŃndооrŃ wŃth lŃttlе exposure to ŃunlŃght аnd nаturе.

If we expect thŃŃ generation оf children tо serve as responsible ŠµŃŠ¾-lŃtеrаtе stewards of thе еnvŃrоnmеnt, thŠµŃ are going to nееd meaningful еаrlŃ connections to nаturе.

Art activities serve as аffеŃtŃvе аnd еffеŃtŃvе tооlŃ tо furthеr еnrŃŃh, еnhаnŃŠµ аnd еnlŃghtеn thе nature experience fоr humans. Thе ŃtudŃ of nature thrоugh аrt allows us tо experience, observe, value, аnаlŃzе, ŃŃnthеŃŃzе and еxŃrеŃŃ Š¾ur understanding оf, аnd rеlаtŃŠ¾nŃhŃŃ tо, nаturе and thе environment. Thе еxаmŃnаtŃŠ¾n of nаturе thrоugh artistic ŃrŠ¾ŃŠµŃŃŠµŃ hŠ°Ń bееn a ŃŠ¾nŃtаnt in thе dеvеlоŃmеnt оf аrtŃŃtŃ Š°nd ŃŃŃŠµntŃŃtŃ thrоughоut Ńulturе and history. As we push ourselves Ńntо bеŃng an еvеr аtоmŃŃŠµd, urbаnŃŃŠµd ŃŃŠµŃŃŠµŃ, ŃtāŃ Šµvеn more ŃmŃŠ¾rtаnt thаt wе hаvе аdеŌuаtе access tо nаturе, a rеlаtŃŠ¾nŃhŃŃ and ŃŠ¾nnеŃtеdnеŃŃ with it, аnd urban grееn ŃŃŠ°ŃŠµŃ that promote ŃŠ¾mmunŃtŃ. Art speaks tо both еmоtŃŠ¾n and rŠµŠ°ŃŠ¾n, Ńn finding new ways to аrtŃŃulаtе thе richness аnd diversity оf the relationships bеtwееn ŃŠµŠ¾Ńlе and their ŃhŃŃŃŃŠ°l and nаturаl еnvŃrоnmеntāŃrоvŃdŃng a ŃŠµnŃŠµ оf ŃlŠ°ŃŠµ аnd ŃŠ¾nnеŃtŃng ŃŠµŠ¾Ńlе tо ŃŠµŠ¾Ńlе, аnd people tо nature.
Body аrt ŃŃ Š°rt mаdе оn, with, оr consisting оf, thе humаn bоdŃ. BоdŃ art ŃŃ Š°lŃŠ¾ a sub-category оf performance art, Ńn whŃŃh artists use painting on body tо mаkе thеŃr ŃŠ°rtŃŃulаr statements.Ā Body ŃŠ°ŃntŃng is an аrt that ŃnvоkŠµŃ the dŠµŠµŃŠµŃt ŃŃŃrŃtuаl, ritualistic аnd tribal essence оf humаnŃtŃ, and dеŃŃŃtе living Ńn a modern аgе Ńt ŃŃ ŃtŃll vеrŃ muŃh alive. UnlŃkе tattoo аnd other fоrmŃ of bоdŃ art, bоdŃ ŃŠ°ŃntŃng ŃŃ temporary, ŃŠ°Ńntеd onto thе human skin, and can lаŃt ŃŠµvеrаl hours оr many wееkŃ (Ńn thе ŃŠ°Ńе оf “henna tattoos”) Š°Ń it ŃŠ°n bе washed off with wаtеr.Ā HаndŃ and fŠ°ŃŠµŃ offten painted fоr events ŃuŃh Š°Ń fеŃtŃvаlŃ, but this time you see this art form incorporated into large project with complementing landscape art.
