Easy Face Painting - By Kelly Van Dorn

By Kelly Van Dorn

For some, the idea of face painting may intimidate them at first if they are not naturally artistic or have never picked up a brush. This shouldn't worry you as there are lots of books out there that you can use, start with beginner's books and work your way up to more advanced.

As you look for the information you will realize that there is enough material available on easy face painting. All you have to do is to look for more simple designs and practice them. If you do not have volunteers for you to practice on you can use paper and then use your own hands or legs and see how it looks.

You should start by painting simple designs to gain your confidence and once you have it, go on to more complex designs. Having FDA approved paint will also ease the worry of one of your customers having a skin reaction. Make sure you have the correct tools to complete your face painting, brushes and sponges are a must. Once you have started you will see how easy face painting really is.

Books will always have some easy face painting ideas for you to copy but knowing that boys and girls have different likes and dislikes will help you to have a wide range of designs to choose from. Boys prefer monsters of Spiderman designs whereas girls like princesses, flowers or bunnies.

Another tip is to try and find out the expected number of boys and girls in advance and put together a portfolio of designs accordingly.

If you want an easy face painting session then you should display the designs which you will be painting so that the kids can make up their mind before they come in front of you to get their face painted. If you do not do that then the tiny tots may have difficult time in deciding what they want on their faces.
