Thanks for posting! Those tiger stripes are to die for :) I just always find it amazing how such simple techniques give such awesome results. I like the look of the tribal designs, and I think this helps me further understand the concept of their creation…

Amazing. I love face painting is so free. Your demos are so ggod. that way i can see how to do it. I like specially the one with brush strokes. I have a question. When you pur the colors do you start from your lightes color and then go to the more darker ones?
Do the paints dry fast so you can put a color on top and not mix them?

Thanks Philadelphia for the two vids from Heather Banks and Kat Sinclair. I think their work is amazing and it feels as if I’ve had a private class with both of them. I especially love the swirls and twirls. Now I just have to practice, practice, practice………………

This was brilliant and I have tried it before, it needs some practice though, and you make it look so easy. well done. Nina

Excellent! I love the way it looks… It’s seems to be very easy… I think one tip for that is the well loaded brush…
I’ll practice those strokes this weekend… regards from CR!!!

I like the tiger stripes!!!! So very realistic looking. I will have to try to roll my brush – I best get practicing.

Wow you make that look easy, It takes a lot of practice and really load your brush. The video is very helpful. Thanks for the help.

I really liked this video. I have the hardest time painting good Tiger stripes and this demonstration was excellent. It is good advice to paint with the twist and then follow that same contour on the adjacent stripes as well as following the contour of the person’s face. I think that this is going to help me a lot. Thanks!

This video helped me more than any book anywhere…just seeing the way she held her brush and the way she twisted it! Bravo! Very simple and to the point (no pun intended!). Keep ‘em coming!
