Learn these six face paint designs step by step
From a colorful unicorn to a cool superhero, you’ll learn how to create six complete face paint designs for kids. Simply follow along with the videos and rewatch each lesson as many times as you like.
You’ll start with the basics and build each design step by step. This way, you’ll not only learn how to recreate the examples, but also pick up techniques you can use in other face paint designs later on.
Does face painting always look easier when someone else does it?
You find a fun design on Pinterest or follow a tutorial on YouTube, but when you try it yourself, it somehow never turns out quite the same.
The paint is either too dry or too wet, your lines don’t look the way you want them to, and you’re not sure what order to do everything in.
That doesn’t mean you’re not creative enough. Often, you’re simply missing the basic techniques that many individual tutorials skip over.
That’s why the Face Painting Course for Parents starts with how to use your materials and the essential techniques. From there, you’ll build each of the six designs step by step.
So instead of guessing what to do, you’ll understand what you’re doing — and why it works.

What you’ll learn in the course
You won’t just learn how to recreate six designs. First, you’ll learn how to use face paints and brushes properly, so you understand how each design is built.
Preparing and applying face paint
Learn how much water to use and how to create a smooth, even base with a sponge.
Building a design step by step
See which order to work in and how to combine colours, shapes and details to create a complete design.
Using brushes and basic techniques
Learn how to hold your brush and practise lines, dots, teardrops and double-dip flowers.

By practising the techniques separately first, you’ll better understand what you’re doing and be able to use them in other designs too.
