Natalie's kiss

If you don’t have a brush to paint, might as well you use your lips. See a face appear all from kisses, doesn’t that give you a chill down to the bones? 😀

That is what Natalie Irish uses to paint; Natalie Irish is an artist from Houston, Texas, her stairway to awesomeness began with Best in District at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Art Competition at a very young age, 5 to be exact. She continues to shape her creativity on a canvas in many ways that other people didn’t ever think of, or maybe don’t even wanted too. Pretty much similar like how Liu Bolin had done, highlighted in this post is how Natalie uses her painted lips (with lipstick of course) and various “kiss” technique, kissing away to amazing potraits of past iconic stars. You probably haven’t seen or heard of any Natalie’s art before, neither did I, her painting is so detailed in a way I can feel it is the real thing, like this one portrait of Norma Jeane Mortenson a.k.a Marilyn Monroe below.

Natalie admitted that kiss-painting was not an easy as it seems, her lips get can get very tired from all the various pressure technique applied to the canvas. The work of art also costs her ‘many tubes of both lipstick and chapstick. She also got tired from constantly moving near and far from the canvas, to check out her work in the process.

Here’s the video on how she kiss-paint Marilyn Monroe…

Jimi Hendrix was also kissed by Natalie. 😛

Other than using her lips, she also uses her thumb to create a masterpiece worth praising for, like these artworks below,
