On February 12-14, 2010 Body Painting Artists converged on the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada for the 1st Annual North American Body Painting Championship (NABPC). Competing for cash prizes and a unique trophy designed by Mark Reid and hand made by Artist Kim Higgins Body Painters from around the world showed their skills in creating living art on the human body. Not only did the works of art captivate the uninitiated audiences of Flamingo Hotel and Casino guests and visitors, they also drew the attention of the local press. Mark Reid, Master Body Painter, is the impetuous behind the creation of this newly created gathering of Body Painters in North America.
Combining socializing, exhibitions and a competition the North American Body Painting Championship was a gathering of first time competitors and award winning Body Painters sharing their artistic creations with each other and the world. For the Body Painters the competition is broken down into two categories of body painting expertise, Brush and Sponge Body Painting and AirBrush Body Painting. NABPC also recognized and essential part of Body Painting Art by offering Awards to the top three models, who are the canvas for this unique art form.
The top three winning models at the North American Body Painting Championship for 2010 were:
1. Karla Barendregt
2. Olga Che
3. Jay Cloud
The models are canvas for the Body Painters, who must need to both conceptualize their artistic creation and use the natural contours of the model's body to complete their work of art. A Body Painting Model must endure long hours of standing and staying still while being painted on by the artist, it is not a easy job. During the presentation to the judges the model is the living representative of the Body Painting Artist's work, they can bring extra life to the creation by the way they move in the painted body. Most Body Painting models volunteer their services to practicing Body Painting Artists, for which the Artists are truly grateful. Mehron Makeup congratulates all the enduring Models for their dedication to the art of Body Painting, and applauds the top three winners of the 2010 NABPC.
