It's That Season Again

It's that season again.  Facepainting is the biggest thing in the Autumn.

I like my pretty pumpkin designs with the swirls and tendrils, but I dreamed up a tougher Pumpkin design tonight.  So I could switch any time that the situation warrants



and I reviewed the Flaming Skull that's always a popular choice this time of year.

I feel like it's a little short, but that wouldn't be a problem when I'm Facepainting on people.  Because it would be made right on their Faces.  So if their face is longer, my painting would be longer too.

The way tonight's Skull came out would be good enough, but I'm reviewing it here in my Studio so I might make it even better when I'm 'on'.

I feel like I may have made too many 'cracks' (It's fun to paint'm),
and the 'teeth might be too solid for an old Skull:




Now all I can say is that somebody better ask for the Indian Princess tomorrow.  Because I'm all a-happy with my technique for painting Feathers:



hmmm...  perhaps to do a Full Face Witch as a Deluxe Design ~ expanding from the Witches Hat that's been a favorite for years already.  Well..... working on it

Behind the Scenes

It is Major Facepainting Season again for sure.  So I refreshed my whole kit.  And while I was it it.....

One of the things that I really love about Face Painting is the doodling quality of it.  Once you know basically what the design will be, you can doodle. 

I usually use Black Outlines, so I wanted to check out White Outlines.  They're fine too. 

Then I wanted to see what would happen if I Added Black Outlines in addition to the White Outlines.  I did Not like that at all. 

It's good that I try stuff out at home first.  Hmmm..... what if I make the hearts a little Bigger.....

New Shoes

All that focus, all that work, to prepare for this Facepainting Party ~ because my Client had told me to use Only Pastel Colors.  All that conundrum.  But lol ~ let me tell you how it turned out. 

When I arrived, like 2 sentences to my Client, and she was very nice and easy-going.  She just said something like "Do whatever you think is best".  So then, I didn't Have all the Colors that I would have wnated to use.  Because I had taken them out of my Supply Box to avoid problems in case a Guest requested something that my Client wouldn't have wanted me to use.

I had made a Whole New Face Painting Set Up.  Clean new boxes, clean new brushes, etc.  So when I got to this Party, things that had organically developed with my old Set Up just weren't here.  The Brushes were falling all over the place.  I couldn't keep them in order, so I finally gave up and just washed out a few of the best ones and used them over and over again.  And I forgot to prepare a spot to hold the Cloth for cleaning my brushes ~ I did a really good improvise by using a Clip to hold the Cloth to the Box.  Not quite as useful as the way it worked with my old Set Up, bu okay.  And and the way the box closes ~ for while traveling ~ that was a little schvachy on the New Set Up.  But it looked cleaner than the rubberband that I used for that in my old Set Up (I figured out how to make it work better After I got home from the Party.)  And and and.....

Things like that.  Wearing in a new Set Up is like what we used to do with new Shoes.  To make it fit us like a glove. 

Never a dull moment.  Before I give in to this needed Sleeeep, I'll post one of the Faces that I Facepainted:

Fall Festival

Yes!  It's Autumn Again.  Here are some of the Facepaintings that I created at the Festival last year.

I love Face Painting in the Fall.  We were all so comfortable.  Not too cold, not too hot.  Just a peaceful day to Enjoy with Friends and Family.

I'm so glad that it's Autumn

Shrek

Shrek?  Shrek?  That wasn't on my list.  But isn't that what happens at Facepainting Events.  Many people already know what they want. 

So this is what I came up with.  For a little girl who wanted Shrek.  I liked her.  And I liked the Face Painting.  You can really enjoy your work, you can really enjoy the Children, when you feel comfortable with your skills.
