An Easter Face Painting Step By Step Handy Tips Guide - For A Problem-Free Easter Face Painting Day
Easter Face Painting is becoming as much a part of the Easter scene as hot cross buns, chocolate eggs and bouncing bunnies. Egg decorating, hunting and rolling are as traditional as Easter bonnet parades, but, for younger partygoers, the chance to make a colourful splash by having their faces painted is too good to miss. Results can be quite eggs-traordinary, although bobtailed bunnies and cute chicks are festive fancies.
Easter Face Painting has to rate high as one of the years' most creative and enjoyable hobbies. Although Face Painting is an all-year-round pastime, there are the year's more obvious events that have precedence and I'm sure that those of you out there who take Easter Face Painting and fancy dress seriously will have their 2010 extravaganza pretty well sorted out by now.
Here are some Easter Face Painting tips that may come in handy.
CHEEK AND HALF FACE DESIGNS - These are so quick and easy and kiddies love them. Probably the most popular for the girls are butterflies, while boys love spiders and spiders' webs. Brightly painted eggs are a must, Stars, flowers, bugs, dolphins, octopuses, balloons and scars are other great and easy cheek face paintings you could think about using, but, as it's Easter you are obviously going to be doing your very own brilliant Easter Face Painting.
However, children will be children and they will want their favourite face Painting Design no matter what time of year it is so make sure you are well prepared. If you have an artistic side to you, then use it.
The beauty of face painting is that it's about being creative. You don't have to follow any design rules.
EASTER BUNNY FACE PAINTING - Step 1: Take a medium sized brush and paint the area around the eyes. The brush strokes should be painted from the centre outwards to create a ‘fur' effect. Then paint the area around the mouth, chin, lips and lower cheek area with white. The brush strokes should begin in the centre and go outwards.
Step 2: Using the same size brush use pink to paint the bottom part of the nose and the higher parts of both cheeks. You can sponge the cheeks on if you wish for that rosy glow.
Step 3: With a small pointed brush use black to outline underneath the eyes. Ask the person you're face painting to look up while you paint underneath the eyes. Paint a thin black vertical line from underneath the nose to the bottom of the upper lip making a little triangle at the end. Then paint a thin black horizontal line across the bottom of the upper lip and extend this line about 1 cm on each end. Then paint a few black dots on both sides of the vertical line like in the photo.
Step 4: With a small pointed brush, use black paint to paint a few fine lines (whiskers) on both sides. Start the lines just a little outward from the dots and extend them outwardly across the cheeks.
Step 5: With a small pointed brush, use black paint to outline 2 big teeth underneath the horizontal line on the bottom lip. Practice this Easter Bunny Face Painting a few times
FULL FACE PAINTING - Make life simple for yourself. Just because you're a beginner does not mean you can't do popular full face designs. Stick within your comfort zone. Think about the likes of a witch, Shrek or The Hulk; these designs give you a head start straight away. Paint the whole face with your chosen green base colour. Don't forget to let each coat dry first, then add your shades and shadows around the eyes and mouth. Clown face painting is easy, too. Do a full face base coat of white then add your red cheeks and nose, not forgetting some blue crosses over the eyes. Spiderman is the same. A full red base coat then, with a fine brush, carefully paint your spider's web, either on a cheek or over one side of the face. Ladybirds and bugs are also good and easy. Get the right sized brush or stencils and add the spots as required.
STENCILS AND STAMPS - Don't be scared of using stencils and stamps. The rubber stamp will place the design exactly where you want it, leaving you to just fill in the colours. Kiddies really won't mind as they love their faces painted. If you're feeling a bit nervous, why not use a mixture of free hand and stencils until you gain more confidence and experience. Even professionals use them, especially for, say, tiny stars.
PRACTICE PAD - Get a practice pad and practise all different ways of shading and highlighting. Learn what colours blend together.
Most of all have lots of fun
