Blacklight Experiment

I had an idea of what I wanted to do as I had been mulling it over in my head for some time.

We had been doing paint pours on canvas for a while and I was really enjoying the results. Thought that my body paint would thin out nicely with a pouring medium (that I made) and I was absolutely right. A lot of stirring later and we had our cups of paint. We picked only the colours that I owned that really reacted. Stayed away from the darker purples and blues.

All of this was done with cheap UV paint bought off Amazon, diluted massively with 50/50 Elmer's School Glue and Water. Between a 6:1 or 7:1 mix to the pigment. The pigment goes a LONG way. I used two 80w LED UV lights I acquired from Amazon. Also useful for testing are LED UV Flashlights available for cheap, you can bring these to shops with you to test how UV reactive something is, also as highlights if you need them.

I set my camera up on a tripod, used my phone to remote control the shutter and went to town on starting to pour paints on my model. 

We started with a single paint.

I had my camera set up on a tripod, using my phone as a remote trigger at this point. She poured the first paint on herself.

With each paint we added, the exposure brightened since skin doesn’t reflect overly much UV light.

At this point, we're still just adding some layers of paint.

We had decided on 5 colours, here we've reached the 4th and it was starting to take shape.

I was a little too excited adding the 5th colour, and really poured it on there, only to find that it really overpowered everything else.

Hands cleaned, I released my camera from the tripod and started doing detail shots handheld. I did pour a little orange back over the green to try and mute it a bit as well.

This is the drippings running off of her thigh. I quite liked the pattern.

Had to do close-ups of her cupping her breasts. I mean, of course I did.

Then she started playing with the paint, smearing the overpowering green into the other colours.

Then drawing shapes into it. Notice at this point, due to her mixing the paints it was starting to separate and "cell”.

I noticed how cool her hand looked, so I asked her to extend it for a photo.

We had some left over paint, so we repeated the process. Camera went back on the tripod, but I came over and poured the paints. Though, the trigger didn't release for the first colour.

Again, added more layers of paint on her ass.

Then, with what paint remained, I flicked onto her back and ass. You can also see here the pooling between her legs of all the colour on our drop sheet.

At one point, she had me spank her, which resulted in quite a bit of mess through the room, that was probably a mistake, which we'll account for next time with additional drop cloths. Clean-up was simple, wiped some paint off with the drop cloth, then a rinse off in the shower.
