Workshops & Online courses for body painting & face art enthusiasts
By World Champion body painter Riina Laine
Did you know body painting is one of those unique art forms you can't learn in any university or college? That's right, this path of artistic expression is paved with self-discovery and hands-on experience.
My own journey into mastering body painting has been filled with self-taught lessons and trips to workshops abroad. In the world of body painting, it's not about formal education - it's your passion and hard work that count.
Hi, I'm Riina and I paint people!
I'm Riina Laine, a world champion body painting artist and I transform people into pieces of art. My passion for the art of make-up has included nearly every genre of makeup artistry for 20 years, but my specialty and love of my life is body painting. ❤️
⭐ I've created body paintings for advertising, TV commercials, magazines, corporate events, fairs and festivals. My experience as a make-up artist combines naturally with body painting and has allowed me to execute the most diverse projects, from exhibitions to commercial collaborations.
🏆 I've got gold and silver trophys from World Bodypainting Awards and a few other international awards. I've also been honoured to work as a juror at numerous body art competitions around the world.
Beyond my own artistic ambitions, I want to inspire aspiring artists worldwide through my workshops, sharing my knowledge and passion for body painting.
✨ I have my own body painting brush line Riina Laine by Duroy. The first three sets of these babies were delivered to me two days prior to the 2014 World Championships - and I won the precious title! These very same quality brushes are still in use. (Get yours -> shop.riinalaineartist.com!)
