How to get started with Face Painting

2015-08-30T16:07:00.000-07:00

Here is where I parked the video I made about all the different things you need to start face painting in general. In order to practice designs on those wiggly customers you have to make sure you have all the essentials before you start so you are not digging around looking for items.

Cup for water and one for brushes
Mirror
Brushes
Sponges
Face Paints
Business Cards
Face Design Sheets
Cosmetic Grade Glitter
Paper Towels or Washcloth

All these items and more are available at face painting professional stores around the world, for example, Silly Farm in South Florida.

Fall Pumpkins Body Paint

2014-10-12T12:06:00.000-07:00

Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, much like pumpkins. Everyone has a different preference of their pumpkin size, some like plump and round, tall and thin or a cute and small one.

Here is a preview of the Fall Pumpkin Body Paint shoot we did at 6 Round Studio yesterday.
More pictures coming soon, as well as Sugar Skulls!

Pumpkin Butts also make the cutest baby pictures

Sugar Skulls from Spooky Empire's Mayhem in Orlando

2014-09-12T09:18:00.000-07:00

Spooky Empire holds two horror conventions each year in Orlando, FL. October and May is when the lover's of thrillers and slasher movies come out to play. Usually they have a zombie walk each year and several of the artist's in my guild, Orlando People Painters, create undead all morning for their kickoff party. But this year they changed it up a bit by having a Day of the Dead Party and we brought in our artists to paint Sugar Skulls all morning. I was impressed by the amount of people that came in full dress and had costumes for us to match their makeup with. It was very fun to create so many different looks.

This year they also set up a makeup artist booth and had several special effects and makeup artists set up and were available for creating looks to match their costumes, or just for fun, all weekend. Nix Herrera, JD Ellis, Chris Davis, Nick Wolfe, Lauren-Rae Chismar, Mick "Dr. Skull" Velasquez, Orlando Pagan, Felisa Massey and myself were just a few of the artists representing Orlando's makeup industry at the booth.

Avengers Body Paint

2013-07-27T11:19:00.001-07:00

Cypress Cove Nudist Resort in Kissimmee, FL hosted their second annual Body Paint Competition. The theme was Superheroes and Villains. This Avengers piece took the full 6 hours allowed and won me first place!

My model Cassie was amazing and we had a great time during the paint session being silly and cracking jokes. It makes the work so much easier when you have an amazing model!
