“Face Painting Retreat”
Sent in by Kim Baker

I just took a face painting class taught by Jodi Carr in Virginia 2 weekends ago and had the most incredible time!  Myself and 6 other women absorbed everything Jodi had to say and demonstrate for 2 full days. 

What heaven to have 2 days straight of nothing but face painting!  We stayed overnight at Carol Turman’s house who hosted the class and jammed that night.  I plan to make it a yearly retreat, if not more!  Here are a few pics of what I painted today on my kids based on what Jodi demo’d.  I have a bunch more to try this week- if I can get my kids to sit still  long enough! 

The biggest trick I learned, yet soooooo simple is how to make a perfect teardrop: really load the brush (I had not been taking several swipes), twirl as you load to make a fine tip, start with the tip every so lightly touching down and then add pressure directly down- it makes a great shaped tear drop.  I had been dragging my brush along into the tear drop shape, when all it really needed was a press downwards (brush is perpendicular to skin).
 
I started face painting for fun last November, starting with Philadelphia’s great ebook.  I have done a handful of bday parties and am getting ready to dive in a bit more.  I work part-time from home and have 2 small kids, so finding the time to paint is the trick!  It is my new great love.

So, I wanted to write a product review on Detailz, but I though it would be even better if I did a video about it! So today I quickly put together a video to tell you what I think about this awesome face painting tool made by Mehron… I’ve also shown you a quick design that I made up on the spot, (I don’t think my best work) but its simple and will give you an example of how and when to use Detailz.
