Technical File: Dirt and Dirty Teeth

For this session we used:

• Tooth Enamel
• White Spirit
• Earth
• Kryolan Supracolour
• Fake Blood
• Coloured Hair Spray

To create this look, I used the dirt mixed with water and applied it over the hand. I used a hair dryer to dry it and it gave the skin a very dirty, dusty look. I then used coloured hair spray and the Supracolour palette to add colour to the area and then finished it using some fake blood. 

I personally didn't like the way this turned out in real life and felt that it looked better in the pictures, it ended up looking a bit brown and cakey rather than the dirt and blood look that I wanted.

To create this look of dirty teeth, I used a cotton bud to make sure the teeth were dry and then applied the Tooth Enamel in a yellow/brown colour to give them the look of being dirty and rotting.

Health and Safety

When using the tooth enamel, we had to make sure to take it off with white spirit afterwards to make sure that it didn't stay on or stain the teeth.
