Line Roses

Patiently playing Scrabble with my friends today, I had last night's Facepainting ideas floating through my mind.  So I drew things like this while waiting for my turn.  With a Marker on Paper.

While patiently waiting for my Agent to get back to me about a message he sent this morning ~ that he Might be switchinng me to Caricatures for this Weekend's Event.

You can see some of my Caricatures at:  https://caricatureexpress.com/

I just keep drawing.  Aaaaand, I won the Scrabble game

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.

Gym ~ Grand Opening

I was Facepainting at a Grand Opening for a new Gym location.  Set up in the Nursery Room ~ not crowded ~ so I had the opportunity to Facepaint Parents and Staff as well as the Wonderful Children.  We all had such a good time.  Here are a few of the designs I created.

Got to Focus ~ Got to feel Calm

This is where I am now.  Surrounded by my Facepainting Party Ideas.  I wish I had been practicing Caricatures, but if I had been practicing Caricatures, I would have said that I wish I had been practicing Facepainting.  Because I'm scheduled to do Both tomorrow. 

First I'll be drawing Caricatures at one Party.  Then I'll be Facepainting at that same Party.  Then I'll be getting right out to my 2nd Event ~ where I will be drawing Caricatures again. 

If I ever get some sleep tonight, I might make time to practice Caricatures before leaving for the Events.  That would be a good idea.  But it's more important that I find time to Do Nothing (that's what I call my Meditation).  So I'll bring calmness and peace to the Events.  So I'll be able to be  focused on what I'll be doing at the Parties.

Contrast

Huh ~ playing around with my Facepaints at home tonight ~ Dreaming up ideas for next weekend's Events.  And I was loving the Pink Roses on the White Stars as I was painting them.  But now that I see it in the photo, I see that the Blue Flowers on the Black Stars look better.  More impact.

It's not that Blue Flowers and Black Stars are better.  It's just that a stronger contrast between Light and Dark is better.  Yes ~ I'm looking forward to making some strong designs at my upcoming Events.



and how about a Tiger?   Just playing around



and dreaming up Tribal patterns.  I like them to be uneven



Still playing around with the Face Painting, when my husband walked in with these snapdragon flowers.  It's our Wedding Anniversary, and I didn't think he was going to be home until tonight:

And I can use it like this on the corner of one (or both) eyes:

Winter Holiday Facepanting

I just came across these notes from last winter's Facepaintings. 
Looks like a great idea!  I like-m.  Looking forward to dazzling up some more people this winter. 

Hey!  That means I'm looking forward to Winter!  Will the happy surprises never cease?

Superman

Troubleshooting some Facepainting Ideas tonight.  Turns out that it Almost doesn't matter what I do.  Only Brush ~ Sponge Paint Background Before Brush ~ Powder Background Before Brush ~ Black Outline ~ Black Curls ~ White Highlights ~ Yes ~ No ~ I can be in the Moment.  I can use what works best on the shape/size/forehead I'm presented with.  I can tailor my presentation based on what's going on around me at the Party. 

The only thing that I washed away to make room for these ~ that was when I used a Dark Shiny Blue And Black for Superman's  'Ribbon' ~ although I had a pretty good Save on it by using plenty of contrasting White.  Painting is Fun.  I love my job.

Columbus Day

Columbus Day is coming up!  Time to get ready with a Facepainting of a Ship. 

Turns out that it almost doesn't matter what I do with this design.  Large brush, Small Brush, Glitter or Not, Highlights or Not, Different types of Out-Lines...  Just as long as the Supplies work.  But once again ~ even if I shake shake shake ~ that Copper Liquid Bling was tooooo runny.  I'll have to use my Silver as usual
