Modeling

Hey, everyone! Happy very late Thursday! Okay, so it's Friday morning right now... 

I'm so excited to get to share this post with those of you who check in on me from time to time. It really something different than my usual posts (or looks). 

My buddy Nathan asked me to be a model for his watercolour final at his college. He wanted to do a water-themed watercolour on human skin. After priming my face and making me a few shades lighter than I am, he got to work painting waterlilies, a dragonfly, a lotus flower and even a little baby fish skeleton on my shoulders and upper arms.

 He added a few lines from a favorite poem of his about burial at sea. It talks about entrusting the ocean to caring for the body of a dearly departed one.

We decided to go for something outstanding and over-the-top, practically making me look like a different person. The white lines on the cheekbones remind me of gills, making the creature look mostly human, but also part fish.

It was a fun experience, and I hope I get to model some more in the future.

(And yes, it took a long time to wash off! Haha!)
