Tonight at 9p on GSN, be prepared to see a whole lot of skin on
Skin Wars. Why? Because the models aren’t wearing anything but paint.
That’s right, Skin Wars is a body painting competition. Over the next eight weeks, 10 contestants of all different skill levels from all over the country will vie to be the winner of the $100,000 cash prize, a one-year supply of paint and will be the featured guest artist at IMATS.
Each week they will take part in two challenges. The winner of the first one gets an advantage for the second one, and the loser of the second one goes home.
Tonight, the contestants tour their temporary home of Hollywood, Ca for inspiration. Then when they are back in the studio, they have to create a painting on their human canvas representing Tinseltown. Once a winner is established, they then find out what their next inspiration is. For their next painting they have to cover their model from head to toe representing another city. This city is their hometown. So you will their take on places like Florida, Denver, Detroit and Vermont. It will be amazing to watch these towns come to life on these beautiful models.
Actually, it is truly awesome, to watch the different techniques each body artist uses. Some paint their models by hand while others airbrush. No matter what method they use, the final product is always the same. Absolutely stunning.
Just like the host, Rebecca Romijn. She was the first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model to wear only a painted on bathing suit, so it’s fitting she is part of this show. Plus, she’s a natural host. The model/actress is so warm and likeable that she doesn’t come off as a stiff like so many other hosts.
So tune in for a competition show where the models suit up in their birthday suits.
Then when the living canvas’ painter is eliminated, they are sent to the on-set shower to wash off their paint. What other show can say that?
