Face Painting 300+ Kids

This is an entry sent in for our monthly
Silly Farm Supplies Competition!

“Face Painting 300+ Kids”
By Mollie Stofan aka “Mollie the Painter”

Hi everyone!

I recently got a call to do a school festival a few weeks ago, to paint about 300+ kids!

I just about fell out of my chair when I heard how many.

I have never painted that many people at one time!

But I never back down from a challenge and I quickly taught my 14 year old sister to paint a few simple faces.

We chose to limit our choices to: Tiger, Zombie, Rainbow Butterfly, Party Eyes, Snakes & Flowers.

When we arrived at the event, we had our own pavillion and we lined up the picnic tables along the sides of the building and which created a large walk way.

As we started to paint, my sister took the right side and I took the left. We lined up as many as 25 kids at a time and went down the line with one color and then came back for details and once again for glitter.

We painted everyone, in three and a half hours–we were hired for 4 hours! The parents were very impressed by our meathod of getting everyone painted so quickly. They have already booked me again for next year!

I hope this helps anyone who needs to know how to paint a large group very quickly!

Bear Face Painting Design:
This is an entry sent in for our monthly
Silly Farm Supplies Competition!

“Bear Face Painting Design”
By Ben Bonser

Hi Philly.

Here’s the step by step for a bear design.

(1) Start by sponging a white, biege or yellow muzzle around the model’s nose, mouth and chin. You should avoid the nose, lips and the groove between. Also add a round lump near the lips as shown.

(2) Next, sponge the upper part of the model’s face brown (or a butterscotch colour) avoiding the jawline and area next to the chin and a small area around the eye areas. Painting over the corner’s either side of the bridge of the nose makes the brow seem lower and this illusion will be made clearer in the next step.

(3) Using a darker shade of brown, sponge a broad area over the jawline either sides of the face, the temple’s and the eye areas you’ve left uncovered. Paint the lower eyelids and the ‘lower socket’* with the same colour. Blend the light and darker brown to make a softer appearance.*lack of better words for it.

(4) Using black, paint in the model’s nose, lips and groove. Then the whisker dots, the small lines on bridge the model’s nose (just above the muzzle), the lines under the eyes and the eyebrows.

(5) The finishing touches:-
-Paint feathered darker brown lines around the edges of the face and under the eyes as shown.
-Paint the white whisker lines and the large dot on the nose.

Final Note: I was thinking of blending both an orange patch on the upper cheeks + cheek bones and an orange column on the fore head to add a ‘luster’ to the design. I thought of this after I put the designs together. GAH! Hate it when that happens.

Anyway, hope you like this one.

Catchalatah,

Ben

Weddings with Face Painting, Clowns and Magicians?

Weddings with Face Painting, Clowns and Magicians?

"I just came across this blog post for couples trying to organize their own ‘perfect wedding’ and it had some great tips about how to keep the children entertained. Elle (from wedaholic.com) suggests hiring a clown or magician or a face painter to keep the kids entertained. And I’d never thought about doing face painting or clowning at a wedding!

So then I thought, it might be a good idea to get in touch with the wedding planners in your area, and give them your portfolio/details, who knows…your next face painting gig might be at a wedding!"

A Day at the Circus - Face Painting!

2008-01-26T00:55:00.000-08:00

Here's a great story about a pre school that has been hosting a circus day, every year for 30 years can you believe?! There was alot of face painting, dressing up, card board cars and much more...read on to find out...

A Day at the Circus

By Jennifer Barker - Staff Writer
Article Launched: 01/24/2008 01:00:00 AM PST

Click number to view photos: Samantha Heil (left) and Cody Palade proudly display their Spiderman-inspired face paintings...«1 2 3 »

Parents dressed as clowns, or geared with colorful prizes and cardboard race cars, manned the stations as children ran around with painted faces at Paradise Preschool's annual Circus Days Wednesday morning. Paradise Preschool, the oldest preschool in Paradise according to teacher Annette Carey, has been hosting Circus Days for the children for more than 30 years.

The circus is held during normal class time, from 9 to 11:30 a.m. As a co-op preschool, the school is operated with parent help. The children's parents were greatly involved in Circus Days assisting with everything from planning to decorating and operating the games. The circus began with a parent dressed up as a juggling clown. Twenty-one 4 and 5-year-old students were divided into two groups so more children got the chance to participate in the clown's juggling act.

Children tossed the ball to begin juggling and the clown threw it back to end the act. Often the children had a difficult time catching the ball as the clown tossed it mid juggle. The children were impressed by the juggling sticks, though one 4-year-old boy asked if the sticks were going to be on fire.

After watching the juggling clown the children received a plastic bag with tickets for games and snacks. Each activity cost one ticket and at the end the children received a prize. Games included bowling, face painting, fish pond, race cars, squirt out the candle, ring toss, monkey jump and bean bag toss. Featured snacks included popcorn and strawberry or peach flavored ice cream cones covered in sprinkles.
Jeni Borgman, owner of Funny Faces, provided the face painting.

Borgman, a face painter of 25 years, said most often girls get full face butterflies or flowers, while boys choose Spiderman. At Paradise Preschool there was an added exception - the Spiderman theme made its way to girls as Samantha Heil matched Cody Palade with a full face Spiderman. Mother Taeko Toohe said there were probably more parents than children at the circus. Toohe said Circus Days provides the children with something different to look forward to and she enjoyed the parent involvement. She said with the rain and snow the children are inside a lot. Circus Days provides a day of fun to break up the dreariness of winter.

Carey agreed with Toohe adding that Circus Days was designed to "liven things up." "The children love it," Carey said. "I've had children come back as adults and say the thing they remember about preschool is Circus Days."

Volunteer Breanna Crabtree, 14, attended Paradise Preschool and returned Wednesday to spend time with her 4-year-old sister Cammie.

"I remember getting a fun little ring at Circus Days and playing on the playground," Breanna said. Breanna volunteered to spend time and have fun with her sister on this special day. Cammie said her favorite thing about Circus Days was winning prizes. Kelly Martindale, 4, also liked the prizes but she said playing the bowling game with her mom was the best part of Circus Days.

Body Painting Night for Global Warming Awareness

2008-01-20T14:06:00.000-08:00

On The Spot Evening of Design @ the Student Union

January 30th, 2008 7 PM - 10 PM

Pratt Institute will host a design event for students to participate in the Reverberate Design Competitions. A unique design event with free pizza, music spun by Brooklyn Native DJ Mikey Palms and Body Painting!That's Right, Body Painting!

The Reverberate Competitions consist of a video/YouTube entry and a Body Painting entry captured and uploaded to the Architecture 2030 website via digital image. Pratt will provide all the supplies necessary for the Body Painting entries at the Student Union Event!

Supplies include:
Theatrical Body Paint
Brushes & Sponges
Tube Tops!!!
Models
A Photo Station to capture and upload each entry!

Accompanying this unique event will be a Focus The Nation Kick-Off Webcast called The 2% Solution, beginning at 8pm. The Webcast will include a panel discussion on Global Warming Solutions withStanford University climate scientist, Stephen Schneider, Sustainability Expert Hunter Lovins and Green Jobs Pioneer Van Jones.

Why The Title, The 2% Solution? To hold global warming to the low end of 3-4 degrees F, will require cuts in greenhouse gas emissions in the developed countries by more than 80% below current levels by 2050. Put another way, we need to cut roughly 2% of current emission levels a year for the next forty years. The webcast will revolve around the question:

Can we as a nation get on to this path, and cut global warming pollution 2% a year for the next decade? If so, what would it take?

Face Paint Designs - How To Make Them Stand Out

Face Paint Designs - How To Make Them Stand Out
By Philadelphia Tivoli

Whether you are painting face paint designs as a hobby for your kids, for your friends, or making a profit out of it by doing it in different parties and gatherings, face painting is truly an inspiring, interesting, and rewarding pursuit.

Aside from the skill of the face painter, the actual designs that are used during the face painting session are very important. This is because it will define the painter - his/her style, techniques, and specialization.

If you are just starting to face paint or you have had a little experience on this and you want to enhance your talent, you should start to focus on the more simple face paint designs.

To make your face paint designs stand out, they should all be unique in one way or another. Your designs can stand out if they are painted in a very unique and special way compared to others.

You can make unique designs by trying to come up with original ones. Coming up with designs that are truly yours can make them a standout because they cannot be seen in any other party or are not performed by any face painter. For you to be able to create your own designs, you should gather up all the designs that you have working on. Once you have gathered each design template, try to make some changes in the strokes that were used or add some lines and colors into it. You can also print out several copies of the original design template and work on it separately. Try to use blended colors as well adding extra accents into it.

For you to be able to think of new designs, it is a must that you spend time researching about the latest designs used by professional face painters so you can create your own variation of the design.

After practicing with the templates, now is the time for actual application. In trying out new designs to ensure that they will stand out, you can use yourself as a model or practice on a friends face.

After seeing the final product - either on yourself or on the model - you can now decide if it's appropriate for your target market or not. Separate the successful designs from those that are not and try to work on the latter so you can also use them.

To ensure that you can create unique face paint designs during your face painting practice, you should prepare the materials you need even before you get started. Making sure that you have brought enough face paint supply, several kinds of brushes and face paints, and water for mixing the colors will ensure that you will come up with the designs that you have.

One valuable tip to make your designs truly standout is by mixing face paint with the cosmetics or make up such as eyeliner, blusher, and eye shadow. If this combination is done properly, it will create good results and lasting effects. It will also help you save time because it will dry faster compared to pure face paint.

You can create easy designs using blusher because it provides a more natural and softer look. Eyeliners that come in different colors can also be used to because they give more defined lines and details compared to face paint applied using a brush. This is also easier and more manageable to use especially for starters because they dry quickly compared to the face paint.

You can also use eye shadow to create stand pit face paint designs because it can create a very soft and natural effect. It can also be used anywhere you like. Just like eye pencils, eye shadows also come it different colors. You can even mix and blend them with other colors of eyes shadows to create more unique effects.

Aside from using cosmetics, you can also make your designs standout by accentuating them with glitter, different colored gels, glitter gels and even fake blood Halloween designs.

"Yesterday I had the opportunity to do face painting for C.H.O.C.'S (Children's Hospital of Orange County) Holiday Party for their neuro patients and families.I wasn't sure if my friend Regina would show up since she is in chemo treatment, but sure enough - the trooper that she is, was there! I was so excited to look up from painting someones face to see her mom and Regina standing there in line!For those of you who read my blog may recall of Regina's Princess Tea Party that I did for her this past summer."

Snazaroo Electric Face Paints

"Snazaroo Electric Face Paints

With Christmas coming up I’m sure that you’ll want to do something very special with your face painting, and if you haven’t tried Snazaroo Electric Face Paints then I happily recommend you do!

What’s so good about these paints you ask? Well Snazaroo Electric Face Paint colors have an extremely bold and ”sheen” appearance. It has a really cool metallic and slightly pearlescent look.

I swear, some kids want to get their face painted just because they saw someone else thats already been painted with these electric colors! They look amazing. In the header picture above, we used Snazaroo electric blue on the design to the right, and trust me… it looks ten times better in real life!

Just as a tip… if you want an even bolder shine to your finished face painting, you can sprinkle a little of the SNAZAROO iridescent powders on top of the make-up cake and mix prior to adding to the face. For example this can make the silver look almost like aluminum foil. You can do the same with the gold iridescent powder or any of the other powders.

If you really want to take your face paint designs to the next level, then you’ve got to be using the right tools. And to make your designs extra special, I recommend you try Snazaroo Electric face paints.
If you already use them, and know how amazing they look compared to the standard colors then leave a comment and share your thoughts and opinions!

And it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, if you want to get your hands on some Sparkle face paints you can order them online right here at Party Domain!

Top Ten Face Painting Designs

Learning face painting is great fun but it can some time to practice so you don’t want to waste time by learning face painting designs that nobody wants right?

So which face painting designs are the most popular? Which face painting designs do they constantly request?

Well, after years of experience in the field, extensive research and surveying I've found that there are certain face painting designs that have a proven success rate amongst children, teenagers and even adults!

So, luckily you don't have to learn the hard way like I did and learn heaps of designs that children didn't want.

Here are the Top Ten Face Painting Designs for both Girls and Boys!

Girls:
1. Fantasy
2. Princess
3. Butterfly
4. Fairy
5. Bunny Rabbit
6. Flowers
7. Ladybug
8. Rainbow
9. Cat
10. Witch

Boys:
1. Spider
2. Tribal
3. Monster
4. Skull
5. Robot
6. Pirate
7. Reptile
8. Bat
9. Tiger
10. Puppy Dog

You should remember of course, that although it is important to have a "Top Ten" range of designs that you've perfected it pays to keep practicing different face painting designs to have up your sleeves because children go through heaps of fads!

One day they boys are into spiderman and the girls are into the princess diaries, the next day they're into the pirates of the carribean and mulan and who knows what's next!?

So, if you want to find loads of popular face painting designs with step-by-step guides including the above top ten designs for girls and boys then grab your copy of "The Comprehensive Guide to Face Painting" today!
