Abstract
Abstract A hunter's face is camouflaged by applying colored fluids which dry to form a peelable film. The fluids are used to produce a camouflage pattern which comprises splotches or stripes having colors comprising black, brown, green, yellow, white and gray. In addition, the camouflage pattern can be formed by applying colored fluids over a base layer of peelable film. The camouflage is easily removed by peeling it off the hunter's face.
