Introduction
Painting Adults: fears and struggles
My inspiration: Inspired by: Melissa Munn, Monique Lily, Karen Hewen
Basic Principles
Face Structure: Flattering vs. non flattering flow
• Bones / Cheek bones
• UP UP UP _don’t draw it down
• Draw focus on the eyes
Placement
• Curve around the eye: DO NOT PAINT STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN ON THE SIDE OF FACE
• Temptation to fill that whole space
• Less is more!
Flow of the design
• Focal Points
• Examples of various placements
Older Women
• Cheat the corner
• How to deal with wrinkles
Less linework
• More floral petals
Listen to your client
• “I just want something little”.
• Keep it small! Don’t go overboard.
• Give them a WOW factor!
Ideas on starting points:
• Match clothing
• glitter, color, pattern, style, feel, etc
• Get a VIBE!!
• floral, animal, wild, tribal, stencil, angular, pretty, dainty...
• Party in the corner style?
• Simple is better, “Less is More”
Paints:
• Kraze Royal Family: Victoria, Nefertiti, Elizabeth, Cleopatra, Lady Godiva, Queen of sheba
Stencils:
• Types of stencils I use / favorites
• What to look for in a stencil
• How to apply
Glitter:
• Discuss difference between loose, cream & festival glitters
• Application and placement of glitter
Painting the designs:
