I'd start with white on the sponge and lightly dab it all over the face. Then use the black to make lines in the forehead, the sides of the nose & mouth and around the corner of the eyes with a thin tipped brush. Next, dab over what you've done very lightly with a little gray paint so the lines seem to blend into the skin. You can also use brown for liver spots (gross!) on the forehead for more effect. Follow it up with crummy, old-looking clothes, a gray wig and maybe some toothless gums (their false teeth without the teeth!) for a funny looking old person. Play around with it. Have fun trying different things. The key to it is the wrinkles and the old weather-beaten looking skin. Let me know how it turns out. Happy painting!! Hi Natasha,

I practised on all the little ones when they would come over, but there is a big problem. The paint stains their faces. I even put a thin coat of white on first. So now I have stopped doing it until I find some way to prevent the staining. Any suggestions?
