When I decided to learn face painting, I looked around for free designs face painting.
I went to the library, bookstores and Internet searches. I was interested in a single stroke of paint (carefully decorative painting technique made famous by Donna Dewberry), so I thought I could paint the face of a mini to the same "very good" level that could paint a mug for the Day Fr. Uh, not quite.
Once the research really could not believe the level of art he had on professional face painting. The world of professional face painting is filled with real artists from around the world. I had never seen an island in the sun painted on the face of someone who seemed so real that I wanted my cup of coconut and head to the nearest hammock.
The designs are absolutely breathtaking, but not quite what I was looking for. I had 1503 and five years ahead and I wanted to paint cute little drawings on their cheeks. Not to mention the attention span of three years is not suitable for a sunset full of the Caribbean.
For more in-depth research, I learned that these basic principles:
- Use the right color (in other words, if the packaging does not specifically say "make" or whether they are for certain purposes other than face painting, do not use them on your skin!)
- Use the right equipment (including brushes, sponges, glitter, etc.)
- Choose designs that are in your level that are relevant to your audience.
- When you're a beginner, choose a handful (perhaps five or six) designs and offer those for children. religious practice that can be painted quickly and keep the line moving.
- Speed is the key. 'Nuff said.
- Beauty is in the details. Small touches like glitter or to enhance the design can do "good" and "Wow!"
Look for Freedom of the models of face painting that shows step by step instructions, you will find the learning process easier.
Practice some basic popular designs like hearts, butterflies, flowers, snakes, fish, spiders, balloons and drawings that you have enough in your arsenal to make most kids happy. Preschool coloring books are good places to find free templates like these, because the lines are bold, without much detail.
In the end, my case was a huge success. Everything went home for a small butterfly, heart, monkey, or the heat of the sun on the cheek. The children were so proud of the art cheek, and I was so proud to be able to paint them.
