Adult Face Painting

I really enjoy an event like this. When the Adults are in to the Face-Painting so much that even the Children take the finer, more complicated designs. A good time was had by all.





















































A good time was had be all - even me. If only I hadn't broken my Face-Painting cart on the way. This event was in a College courtyard. Beautiful. With ramps AND STAIRS all over the place. Usually so careful as I wrangle my supplies through the myriad of obstacles; but this time I decided to be more carefree -

This time I decided to be more like the guys who carry stuff for me sometimes. They seem so ruff, so gruff. But after I broke my cart by just letting it clunk down the stairs, I realized that those guys were just real strong - quickly lifting and carrying - yet still careful.

Soooo, my cart a-broken. It involved so much to replace. Expensive to buy the basic cart, then sewing on all sorts of flaps and holders - my stuff has really gotten customized to my exact needs.

Good things. Bad things. I just keep keepin' on.

Is it the child? Or is it the painting....

Oh these kids are so cute. Time to have fun with them while they're
like that.

Look at this girl I painted. The girl is always cute, but
with the painting, we take a moment to Seeee:

Samples

Oh - I've been away from Face-Painting for a while. Recently I've been swamped with Caicature events. (I wonder if it had anything to do with the Kidsday Article that recently came out about me - I'll post a copy of it if I get a chance.) Anyway, I'm doubled up on events just now. Because the Face-Painting is really picking up again now.

I had remembered that the last time I was doing it a lot, I had gotten tired of doing the same thing over and over. So I discovered that I had more freedom to be repetitive or not
If I would Not Put Out Samples.

That worked great
back then.

But then last week I had an event. A Pre-School Graduation. Decided not to put out my Samples even though I brought them. Ick - I was confounded because one of my first kids requested a Cheetah. Ummm, I couldn't quite think of a Cheetah. Spots? Cat whiskers? And should the background be Purple? Or maybe Orange? Don't forget the nose.....

I did whatever I did, and the kids liked it. Whew. So several others asked for the same thing. And me, not really being ready, not really having studied Cheetahs, I felt insecure while I painted them.

This weekend, I'll be doing a Company Outing in a Park. I figure I'll be happier to put out A Lot of Samples as usual. But just looking at my old Samples, even though there are a hundred of them, they feel repetitive to me. I don't feel like doing that now
Again.

I have a lot of photos here of faces I had painted a while back. Putting some new Samples together. I hope you'll notice when I'm at Your Party. Perhaps the painting isn't anything new for me, but since the Sample is, I'll probably have different inspirations.

Here are 2 of my new Samples. I like how my simple flowers matched the girl's clothes. And I did a double-take on the photo of the Shooting Stars. At first, it looked like I had put large dots on the end of the woman's eyelashes - like, How did I do that??? But, lol, it's regular dots along the bottom of the eyes. Intriguing photo.





And here's the Kidsday Article:

Face-Painting And Caricatures

Did you know that I do Caricatures as well as Face-Painting?
Well, I do….

Last night I did Face-Painting for the cutest Pre-School Graduation.
I arrived early and had some time to play around with some ideas before the event.
I came up with a New Idea. Hark! A New Idea!

As of now, I’ve only done Either Face-Painting or Caricatures at any one time. Switching Setups back and forth feels crazy. But it could be Fun to try it this new way - the new idea I just came up with. (Stay tuned:-)




I can just Draw the ‘face-painting’ Onto the caricature. Like this:
