If you stop the video at 4:37, you can see the sense of wonder and amazement on your mini-model. If that isn't your motivation, I can't imagine what it might be. She is absolutely adorable. I agree it is sad to refuse to paint a 2 year old who wants to be painted. That butterfly and her entire face was absolutely gorgeous and so dreamlike. I am just starting to want to do this and I am motivated by my love of people especially children, but really everyone. I want to be good enough to do this on a volunteer basis for churches and charitable organization fund raisers. I can paint and draw a little but I can't imagine being as relaxed and fast as you. Thank you for sharing this video. :)) It was so much fun to watch.
Thank you so much for this tutorial- I have such a hard time with butterflies for some reason but this made it easier to understand placement and flow. Excited to try this out!!
you all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Anson Gabriel I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
OOOOHHHH How Adorable... She is so Precious. I am an Acting Teacher for Film & Stage ... I want to incorporate face painting so students will get used to Stage Makeup and the fact it is so much fun... A lot of Acting Studios do not teach kids ages 4 to 7... I was very lucky to find a great acting studio in my small town when my daughter was 4 years old... it (they) made a world of difference in her life, to the point she "SKIPPED" a grade... Now... I am an Acting Director.. and want to teach young kids too... Face Painting should be apart of my Acting Studio. Thank you so much for sharing this great video...
🌹🌹🌹 . Super face painting Mam 👍👍👍 . Baby 's ' Patience ' is appreciable 👌👌👌 . We all like this beautiful video 🤗🤗🤗 . Thanks for making and sharing it with all the viewers 😊😊😊 . 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 🙏🙏🙏 💐💐💐
I just love this so much. I could watch this over and over. Your happy voice, the happy child... I feel like you are dancing with your brush. BEAUTIFUL! I have three little girls and I constantly face paint them. Can you tell me the name/brand of the split cakes are that you are using? I am especially interested in the rainbow colors and the lip color you are using. I can't seem to find any that I like as much as yours. Thank you!!!
Thats awesome- having a willing face to practice on is so nice. The best tip I can share is to relax while you paint them- they turn out so much better.
Amazing👏 thank u for your wonderful video... It helps me a lot as a new facepainter... I ask many times to those who have been in this career for a while but to my dismay they will just answer me to watch some tutorial in youtube😔. Or enroll in their online class to learn.
Your videos are wonderful! I've only just become interested in face painting having started with 2 brushes and a small palette for my girls during lock down! Now I'm hooked! Could you do a video about sponging and the different cakes for sponging? So much to learn!
Right?? It takes time to "build up the nerve" but if it helps- paint in your own eye once on purpose- it makes the whole risk a lot less scary when you know the worst that can happen.
@@fairyfox Yeah, part of it is "omg what if I get paint in their little eyes?" And part of it is "kids are adorable little germs". lol I think I'm going to have sanitizer, gloves and probably a mask for their safety and mine.
For a more beginner face painter, what do you recommend as the most important split cakes? Which split cakes would be the most useful for the majority of designs?
You want one for each color of the rainbow- or one what makes you happy when you see it (you will reach for those the most) always buy based on a swatch- people are always posting swatch pictures, instead of looking at the paint itself.
Laura, this is so beautiful. Watching you paint is magical! Would you ever use petal sponges on little faces, please? You manipulate the semi circular sponges so well there doesn't seem much point! And, can I also ask who does the music for you? That guitar music is so poignant it makes me want to weep every time I hear it! All best to you and yours at the moment. x
Hi Vera, I have both circle and petal sponges- I usually go for whatever one is closer! I actually often use petals backwards. I don't think I use them right- I like to really load my sponge, and petal sponges don't hold as much. The shape is nice though. Total pro and con list.
OH! and thanks for the comment about the music. Michael (my husband) does all the video work. He was so touched that you liked his music and said something. I LOVE listening to him play, especially the piano. It has been fun to have our music written just for our channel- it is like a little secret!
@@fairyfox I really do love it; it makes your videos even more special. Brilliant that you compliment each other like this! (Not sure that anyone is so happy about my playing clarinet in my household!!😁)
Hi, thanks for your wonderful energy and videos. I am a beginner, and struggle with my paint consistency, I always wonder how your white paint is so creamy, rather than dry, do you buy it that way, or add a lot of water?
paint consistence is a HUGE deal isn't it? Brand makes a difference- I just tried Fusion waxy white, it is pretty amazing. Yes, lots of water for sure.
How did you make sure the variety of width of wing segments was the same in both sides? I have yet to receive an answer to a question when I leave one on a Y.T. video but here i am trying.
How about a month late? Haha, in case you are still wondering- let me see if I can explain- we often over think it. Our brains are amazing, but they are the control center. A paintbrush takes orders from your hand, hand from the brain. When we try to paint things that match, sometimes there are too many cooks in the kitchen- and the more frusterated we get- the worse it looks. If you think of the paint brush as recording a hand movement, your hand (muscle memory) is great at repetition. You aren’t trying to do the wing the same twice, but a hundred times. Split them into different sizes and then just let your have do a little-big-big- little pattern on both sides- or whatever- and poof- they match! I hope that helps- and happy to reply.
I think it is American Body Art? Back when mica powder was the rage for glitter tattoos I tried them, didn't love them, but sure do as a shimmer on face paint! I think Silly Farm or Jest Paint would carry them.
Perfect dots come from paint consistency more than the right brush- you want a hyper-loaded small round brush- like a 3. Then get it so creamy and wet that you just touch and get the brushes finger print on the face.
Thank you for the heads up! I have them special made for me- and I ran out- so I disabled the site, but forgot to remove the link! Gosh- will get on that! Hope you found some colors you like.
@@fairyfox no worries thank you ! I found something ok for starting out it worked pretty good. Hope all is well thank you for your kindness. God Bless you
