Face painting

Everyone loves face painting! If you have kids, you will absolutely know how much kids love to have their face painted, to look like their favorite superhero or animal. Face painting can be a special treat for kids at any time, but is especially great at special events, such as church picnics and birthday parties. Of course, getting someone in to paint the children’s faces can be expensive. Fortunately, learning to paint people’s faces is not actually that hard and can be accomplished by anyone with a bit of practice and perseverance. The key is to find out what to do now, before being confronted by a line of hectic children waiting for their turn to be turned into a cat or princess.

 

What are popular designs?

Before setting up your table and calling the kids over, it would be a good idea to get a few basic designs down. Fortunately, there are many basic face painting designs available on the Internet. Clowns, butterflies, cats, and dogs are all perennial favorites. If you are feeling creative, throw a few current movie or television characters into the mix. Of course, if you are starting out, it is probably a good idea to limit the number of design you do to ones that you know you can accomplish. If that is the case, be sure to put graphics of your designs down on a piece of paper for the kids to look at when asked to pick their favorite design. When you can present the kids with a tangible graphic list, they will be less likely to be upset that you cannot paint whatever abstract character or object they have asked to be.

 

How do you paint a face?

Once again, if you are relatively new to face painting, it is a good idea to know exactly what you want to accomplish before jumping in and spreading the paints over the kid’s face. Visualize what the final face will look like, and stick to your plan. Apply the paint in thin layers to avoid it cracking, and give it time to dry before applying new layers so the colors do not run into each other.

 

For lines or other detail work, you can apply the paint with normal paintbrushes. In order to cover larger areas, however, it is a good idea to use sponges instead of paintbrushes. For a start, it will be faster to use a sponge because you can cover a larger area at once and you won’t have to worry about washing the paint out (since you will probably be using a few of the same colors for the base on whichever design you are using). Using a sponge will also let you apply broad strokes more evenly while will produce a better overall effect.

 

Taking face painting to the next level -

Once you have gotten better at the basics, it is time to take your face painting skills to the next level. Instead of just going with a few basic designs, let the kids pick their own designs. You will be amazed at the array of ideas that will come from the children!
