She usually paints on ­models’ bodies — creating amazing illusions of animals like snails and rabbits.  But Gesine, 33, turned her brushes on herself when she became pregnant during the pandemic.  Here, her arm becomes a swan’s head and neck while her baby bump is its body.  Gesine, from Dortmund, Germany said: "Because of Covid I had to do it on my own which was a real challenge.  "Mostly I am inspired by a photo, pose or something and first I try out poses in front of a mirror.  "Bodypainting is very different from canvas painting. You have to deal with poses, shapes, lights and shadows and a living model, that moves, talks and has needs.  "You also can't take a rest and finish the painting another day - it has to be finished the same day, even when it takes up to 12 hours."  Now all her amazing swan image needs is her cygnet-ure.
