The judges usually consist of Creator/RuPaulCharles, Creator/CraigTracy and CreatorRobinSlonina, with various celebrity judges sometimes joining as well.

Each week contestants compete first in a smaller challenge, usually only involving painting part of their model, to win and advantage in the second challenge (e.g. extra time, their choice of concepts). The second challenge involves at least one head to toe painting challenge, and the artist with the lowest marks is sent home that week and told "It's time to wash off your canvas." Occasionally the contestants will compete in pairs or teams rather than by themselves.

A spinoff called ''Skin Wars: Fresh Paint'' hosted by [=RuPaul=] aired as a special on August 26, 2015. It featured six highly accomplished artists, each at the top of their game, as they leave their comfort zones to compete in body painting for the first time. The artists must conquer three difficult challenges as they are mentored by three top artists from the first season, Dutch Bihary, Lawrence "Gear" Duran and Natalie Fletcher. As the artists work closely with their body painting mentors they try to quickly master the craft and win the $10,000 prize.

* ClusterFBomb: Often when something goes wrong with a compicated paint, though it's bleeped out.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Happens sometimes when contestants are masters of one school of art but amateurs at others. Being able to airbrush like a god won't help much on a challenge where block paint must be used.
* CurbStompBattle: Dutch expected this when he was up against his former student, Mythica. Hilariously enough, she won the challenge.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: A risky move. The judges tend to condemn it and ask for more color.
* DistractedByTheSexy: The female contestants of Season Two were ''really'' happy when they got to use male body builders as models.
* DragQueen: [=RuPaul=], natch. Also Season Two had a challenge where all the models were queens.
* EliminationCatchphrase: "It's time to wash off your canvas."
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: They often appear during horror challenges.
