“Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My!”
By Anne Dunlap

Hello.  I too am new at face painting but I really love it!

One snowy night this month gave me the opportunity to test out my new palettes on my snowbound children. They wanted a”Lion and Tiger and Bear” theme so I did my best.

I’m sorry I have no video to show while I painted but there are a few of me doing the work!

Hope you enjoy- the bear was quite tricky!!  Apparently she wanted to be another tiger!

2. paint the nose and half of the cheeks in white.

3. fill the lower part of the mask with orange and draw a thick line on each side of the nose. continue that line under the eyebrow.

4. outine in black the mask and each eye. you can add glitter or golden lines as highlights.

“Carnaval Face Painting”
By Luísa Santos

Hi Philadelphia,

First of all, thank youfor the teleseminar, it was most useful!

I would like to share with you my latest face painting experience… As I’ve mentioned before, Portugal is not big on face painting and it is very hard to get a gig here, especially if you’re working solo.

Well, we have a festivity here which is called Carnaval, when people all get costumes and paint their faces and go party! (similar to your Mardi Gras, I think).

This year, the company I work for invited me to paint at the shop where I work. It was not a payed gig, but it was an amazing opportunity to practise, hand out business cards and have LOTS of fun with children and grown-ups. I tried lots of designs, got photos for my blog and managed to put big, happy smiles on people’s faces.

I can see from early pictures of my work that I’ve done significant progress.

I surely have to thank you and your blog for it, as well as Silly Farm (Heather’s videos are such an enormous help!)  and Brush Strokes e-mag, because you have been my teachers from the beginning. I have never attended a single workshop, because I can’t find any good ones here, but your tips have made my life so much easier

I hope that, some day, I’ll be able to attend your classes in the flesh and benefit even more from your experience. Here are some photos of an amazing day.
