“My Fun in Austria” - SF Competition
Sent in by Harmony Roth Shabtai

Face painting is always on my mind, so this year when I went to compete in Austria, I took 2 face painting workshops, and they were very nice.

 It seems that the most important colors are black (for shading) and white (for highlight)- that’s what can make or brake your design.

At the Wolfe brothers workshop- which was amazing- I learned much more about monster faces, and how it’s important to consider the morphology of the face when doing face painting. I also got the great tip of keeping butterflies small- that way you get the same result of a happy child but it takes less time, and Nick also painted my face as the Troll princess for the party that took place that night.

Then, at the fantasy workshop for advanced face painters, I learned of new ways to do blending and some more monster designs.

My Tips for Workshop are These:
-always bring a paper and a pen and write anything new- so you can look at it later.
-try to bring a camera to take pictures.
-experience and be braver- the workshop is a good place to practice any new technique. Try new color combinations and new products so you can decide what’s right for you.
-look at the process rather than the result. Try to look at blending and line technique, and fish for parts of the design you like. You can merge teardrops from 1 design, color combinations from another one, and details from a third design to come up with a new design of your own.
-look at the workshop as a place that can boost your creativity, and look at the techniques of the other participants as well, if you can. You can always learn from anyone, so keep your eyes open.
-If you have something you’d like to learn- ask the teacher and don’t be shy.
Learning by the web is nice, but when you see it in reality, it boosts confidence and creativity, at least for me.
Of course the festival was such an amazing experience, and I was happy to go to the finals of brush and sponge. As last year the face painting competition was great and the bodypainting competition includes facepainting as well, so there were a lot of interesting creations.

Happy painting.

Festival of Colors
Freiburg Germany

This festival offers an opportunity to show the public that painting faces means more than cheek designs, yeah, it can be art. So we started this competition in 2006 with a mixture of pro-contests and school-contests. We decided to support teenagers and had them compete in their own contests in order to raise a new generation of facepainters that has a new and “innocent” approach. Additional Details can be found at Event Website: www.festivalderfarben.de/english/eindex.html
