#1. How to Paint a Clown Face on a Child

In this video tutorial, you'll see a fun, but very easy clown face on a child. You only need four basic colors for this one: white, red, blue, and green! Of course, you can choose different colors to your liking, or even allow the child to pick his/her own colors as well.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Outline the face using a chisel brush and white face paint. Sponge in and blend.

Step 2: Take a medium brush and with green face paint make a triangle under one eye and an oval above the opposite eye. Do the same thing with blue face paint on the opposite for each eye. Use a chisel brush to color it in.

Step 3: Use a medium brush and red face paint to make a red clown nose on the nose tip. Paint the mouth red, accentuating the bottom lip and add two circles on each side of the mouth.

Step 4: Use a small brush with white face paint and highlight the mouth and nose and outline the face paint around the eyes.

#3. How to Paint a Scary Clown Face on a Child

For the most part, children don't really like scary clowns. But, there are a few that DO, and for those, we've got a special and unique tutorial on how to paint a scary clown face on a child! Although this look was made on an adult, it will work equally as well on a child, and we love that it's not TOO scary either - it's just the right amount of "boo!".

So whether you're painting this scary clown face on a child or on an adult, it will work for both!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Starting with the hydra sponge cut in half, and the white face paint, cover the entire face.

Step 2: Next, using the small round brush, outline the eyes, creating a triangle shape above and below each eye. Add three lines coming out of the corner on each eye.

Step 3: Next, using the red face paint and the medium filbert brush,  paint the tip of the nose, and around the mouth and cheeks.

Step 4: Fill in the shapes around the eye with blue face paint, and using your brush and wet paint, blend the outline and the blue together.

Step 5: Next, using the medium filbert brush and the white face paint, add teeth along the lip line, and continue onto the cheeks.

Step 6: Using the small round brush, and black paint, outline the teeth, and along the outside of the lips as well. Outline the nose, and using wet paint, blend the red and black together.

Step 7: Finally, add any detail to the design, such as dots, or lines.
