It just looks like a woman in a wetsuit surfing, right? Wrong! She’s actually not wearing anything except for body paint. The paint has been so precisely done that it would fool anyone!

Paul Roustan, the artist behind this is considered one of the best body painters in the world and has even won awards for his art. 

He painted four surfers to look as though they’re wearing wetsuits and, to be honest, it looks so realistic that no one would be able to tell that they’re not wearing real clothes. Look how accurately he does it!

Roustan uses both an airbrush and paintbrushes and even paints on seams and creases onto the ‘outfits’. It’s all in the details!

The only clothing the women are wearing are strapless thongs and nipple covers, which is understandable. Also, probably the most impressive part of all this is the durability of the paint. Even after surfing, the paint seems to be completely intact, no smudges or anything.

I think we can all agree on one thing-Roustan is extremely talented. According to his website, Roustan's work centres on: "Telling stories about people, places, and ideas, his work explores the multiple layers of meaning combining the human figure with different elements."

He has also been commissioned for projects with Absolut Vodka, Bacardi, and surprisingly Tupperware, and has had his work featured almost everywhere-from Playboy to The New York Post.
