Kelly Van Dorns Easy Face Painting

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.

As your confidence grows by painting simple designs you can start to paint more difficult pieces. On a side note – always use FDA approved face paint to ensure the safety of your customer/child. Of course you will need to have the right tools for the job so, brushes and sponges are essential to complete designs properly. Once you have all of the tools and have made a start you will see that it is easy face painting.

The books you read will give you some easy face painting ideas and designs but a good tip to know is that there seems to be distinct preference in designs when it comes to boys and girls. Girls generally prefer a design of a princess face, flowers on the cheek or a bunny but the boys prefer to have a Spiderman or a monster on their face.

Having a portfolio of designs ready for when the boys and girls arrive will help you out a lot

Displaying the designs you can do will aid an easy face painting session because the kids will be able to choose their favorite design before they have got to you which will speed up the process. You know kids, they are indecisive especially when you have so many cool designs to choose from!
