Kids of all ages love to have their faces painted (especially the younger ones!), so its the perfect thing to learn how to do if you have young kids or youre planning to have a birthday party for your children.
With this in mind, Ive prepared a few tips for people just starting out in face painting. Here they are:
1) If youre painting a design that needs a large area to be covered with paint, use a sponge instead of a brush. Why? Because applying the paint with a sponge means it will dry quicker. Its a good idea to have a few sponges set aside if you need to use different colors, because this means you wont have to try and clean the sponge for each colorwhich would take time.
2) Always let the first color dry before you start painting on a second! If you forget to wait for it to dry, they colors will most likely mix and youre going to have to start from scratch again.
3) Make sure you know what you want the finished face to look like. Dont mak it up as you go along. You need to be able to paint faces rather quickly, as if you have children, you already know that kids arent always very patientand they may get bored or restless if youre thinking on...
